Excerpt: Thin on the palate. Not a ton going on here, a bit of cream, honey, light pepper and some rising bread. Pretty devoid of complexity, though it goes down easy with no perceptible ethanol.
Excerpt: Interesting aromas and flavors of cocoa-dusted butter roasted pecans, ovaltine and mocha, waxed cedar, moss and clay, and stove-roasted peppers. An interesting, very savory, green, and peppery Tequila for rich, savory cocktails.

House Review
Intro:
Aged for 18 months and then filtered to remove color, Lunazul Primero is a new release that aims to hopefully jump on the Cristilano bandwagon - a new hot trend in agave.
Nose:
Sweet agave on the nose, citrus like lemon and orange. Honey, a bit of pepper, some light cream and funk.
Taste:
Thin on the palate. Not a ton going on here, a bit of cream, honey, light pepper and some rising bread. Pretty devoid of complexity, though it goes down easy with no perceptible ethanol.
Finish:
Short finish, again not a ton happening. Light agave character, some cream and pepper, then it’s gone.
Overall:
All in all, while there are no major flaws here, there’s so little tequila character after filtering that this makes for a pretty unremarkable pour.
