- Excerpt: Lots of sweetness - creamy vanilla, hint of confectioners sugar. Light pepper note, some bitterness and minerality. Sourdough crust, nice earthiness. Thin on the palate, faintly vegetal. Certainly not bad, and nice to see it standing out from the diffuser crowd, but it's a bit pricy for what you get.

- Excerpt: Very peppery on the nose, with overtones of overripe fruit. The body is unusual, with notes of baked apples, roasted meat, and ripe banana. Some cinnamon character endures on the finish, but the overall impact is a little disjointed and tough to fully engage with.

Intro:
Distilled by Tequilera Las Juntas (NOM 1500) this blanco is double distilled on stainless steel after being autoclaved. This is my first brush with Codigo, and I was elated to find that they are offering minis of their bottlings. Let's get to it.
-
Nose:
Roasty, toasty, nutty, loaded with agave character. Faint sourness before an explosion of citrus, faint meatiness and some enticing minerality.
-
Taste:
Lots of sweetness - creamy vanilla, hint of confectioners sugar. Light pepper note, some bitterness and minerality. Sourdough crust, nice earthiness. Thin on the palate, faintly vegetal.
-
Finish:
Short finish, not a ton going on. Bit of heat, some pepper, nice agave notes, but it's a short lived finish and moves right along.
-
Overall:
Certainly not bad, and nice to see it standing out from the diffuser crowd, but it's a bit pricy for what you get.
