Excerpt: I do get some of the brown sugar and caramel notes, but they are well in the background. The flavor that comes up first is black pepper spice with some clove and vanilla, followed by the rest of the barrel aging components, and eventually developing into more of a coffee flavor at the end.
Excerpt: Aromas and flavors of marzipan, roasted hazelnut, salted peanut shell, and citrus and crushed flowers with a velvety, bright, dry medium body and an appealing, brisk finish.

House Review
Intro:
Kevin Hart threw his hat into the tequila game back in 2022 in collaboration with Juan Domingo Beckmann, CEO of Jose Cuervo. Rather than create a blanco, reposado or añejo, Hart's Gran Coramino cut right to the chase and released only a 12-month-aged cristalino. Let's see how this bottle treats the trend.
Nose:
Super sweet, full of honey, vanilla, almond, touch of nutmeg and some tropical fruit.
Taste:
Thin to medium mouthfeel, it’s all honey on the palate, vanilla, some light toasted almond. Not wildly complex, but pleasant.
Finish:
Short finish, it’s a vanilla and honey bomb.
Overall:
Not particularly interesting, this release is all sweetness and honey and vanilla, no fruit or agave character to really be found.
Score:
4
