Michael Jordan’s Cincoro Tequila model continues pushing upmarket, it’s newest being a curious mix referred to as Cincoro Gold. This luxe providing blends all 4 of Cincoro’s different expressions — Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, and “a beneficiant proportion of” 40-month outdated Additional Añejo — right into a product that doesn’t have any official categorization. “Gold” in fact has a harmful connotation within the tequila world, however that is no Cuervo mixto, however reasonably 100% agave. What has Cincoro whipped up for us? Let’s give it a strive.
For starters, the general impression is essentially according to very outdated tequilas, and in Cincoro’s case, as we noticed with the anejo launch, meaning sweetness. This expression is extraordinarily candy from the beginning. Notes of coconut, vanilla, and maple-honey glaze are all muddled with baking spices to the purpose of being overwhelming. A whiff of agave peeks by — absolutely the blanco in motion — nevertheless it’s so gentle as to be nearly undetectable. On the palate, nothing a lot modifications besides now all that sweetness is throughout your mouth. Overwhelming to the purpose of being saccharine, it coats each a part of your mouth and throat like medication. Briefly order, the melted sweet bar character fades to disclose a word of microwave popcorn butter — that barely unreal creaminess that some individuals inexplicably love. I discovered it more and more off-putting and cloying because the end builds, concluding on notes of outdated butterscotch lozenges.
