Escasa Blanco Tequila Assessment
On the nostril, there’s a lot to admire. It’s a full, wealthy aroma with an nearly creamy texture. High notes of pink peppercorn and candy, stewed agave are inviting and acquainted, however as issues open within the glass, distinctive undertones of heat citrus – cooked pineapple and a little bit of mulled orange – improve the aroma additional, ultimately giving strategy to agave syrup and a touch of brighter grapefruit peel.
The palate is a bit more easy, highlighted by pulpy agave and recent, energetic notes of sliced pineapple, lemon peel, and just a little bell pepper. The midpalate introduces a delicate heat accented with cinnamon and clove that builds modestly with recent ginger notes right into a spherical, silky end of pear skins and black pepper. I wouldn’t go as far as to name all of that uncommon, however Escasa an excellent blanco tequila. I’ll allow you to determine if that’s well worth the worth of admission.
