Intro:
Distilled by Varo Destileria at NOM 1616, Codijo 1530 Rosa is an interesting expression employing something we don't usually see: maturation in Rose casks. Feature or gimmick? Let's dive in.
-
Nose:
Starburst candies, lemon, light acrid chemical notes, some roasted agave and a hint of confectioners sugar. Little to no tannin.
-
Taste:
Sweet on the palate, fruity with notes of honey and pear. Guava, lime, an interesting youthful maltiness. Kind of artificial on the fruit notes, but not too crazy.
-
Finish:
Long, rich, peppery finish. It's also got some artificial fruit influence here and that leaves us with a particularly strange finish.
-
Overall:
I can't really say this is for me. Maybe rose + tequila is just a strange combination I'll need to warm up to, but I don't think this was done to the best of its ability.
