The palate is racy, but tempered by fruit. There are touches of pear, hints of mango, and hints of cinnamon, vanilla (that wood-seeming influence), and butterscotch.
The very first flavor I get here is black pepper and maybe a bit of cinnamon. It’s a big hit of spice up front, which is not typical of a tequila. It’s just very… spicy.
Peppery heat, bolstered by light clove spice, first distinguishes the nose, only to be followed by a fresh-pear fruitiness. The pear diminishes on the palate--or rather it changes from fresh to dried, and then gives up in the face of hot black pepper.
