Tasting Notes:

Pretty nose of sweet orange with an underlying smoky agave note.
Strong orange peel character. Less sweet on the palate than the nose made me expect.
The agave character stays throughout the palate, under the flavor, and has a slight smoke and spice character. Overall, these retain their tequila character and the flavors are well-balanced. Good product. Worth a try.
