Aroma: A very nice and well balance nose. Agave, vanilla, spice and ripe fruit (apple & banana)
Initial Taste: A nice balance of agave and vanilla. Tasty, but not too sweet.
Body: A nice oily body that sits on the tongue like velvet. Agave and oak combine to make an array of flavors. This isn’t vegetal at all. Just a nice combo of sweetness, spice, pepper and wood.
Finish: Nice pepper flavors along with the brown spices work with the oak and vanilla to make a medium length, but delicious linger.
Simply put, I dig this one a lot. It's got good balance and a lot of flavor. The green agave aspect isn't huge in this, if that's your preferred profile. However, if you like a good balance of agave, spice, light sweetness and a medium oak note, this will be in your wheel house. And the big bonus of this one is that it's in the mid-$30 range. This bottle is a definite buy if you see it one the shelf. Well done Blue Nectar!
