Distilled by Don Guelo in 2000 using Agave Tequilana Webber, this bottling is one of a three flask set bottled by La Venenosa from glass carboys Don Guelo has been resting this spirit in for 20 years.
Wowzers, martini in a flask! Sour olives, briny and lactic, funky cheese notes and a big hit of acidity. Very different from G1 on the nose, an excellent compliment.
Funky on the palate, very lactic and lacking that olive note from the nose. Briny, exceptionally savory. Sour apple.
Long finish. Funkiest so far. That olive note is back, blending with pepper, blue cheese and sour fruits.
This is certainly pushing the funk factor compared to G1 but I like it a hair less. Still very good, but the palate goes a hair sour for me to consistently be drawn to it.
