Senor Rio Tequila Blanco

On the nose loads of agave, some tar/fuel. initial taste is quite flat, but finishes with a tonne of licorice. Body is ok but perhaps a bit rough. Over all not bad but there are lots of blancos I would prefer. I think I paid around 55$ for this in Scottsdale so wasn't a bargain.
My son loves the bottle cap with the laser etching so gets a good mark for presentation.

This was a very smooth silver tequila (I normally dont like Silvers), but this was pretty good, after doing some research online I found out this tequila is cooked using the traditional method of slow cooking in stone ovens for up to 48 hours ( as opposed to current method of pressure cooked in stainless steel for 18hrs) not sure exactly what difference it makes but it was smooth and impressive. The bottle is pretty cool too.
