Boldly staking its declare as “the spiciest infused tequila within the U.S.,” that is 100% agave blanco tequila blended with recent (not dried) American habanero peppers which are clearly designed to burn you from the within out.
Outcomes? Properly, mission achieved. The scorching expertise is nearer to sipping sizzling sauce — roasting each a part of the tongue and palate — although the distinct agave chunk of peppery tequila is definitely discernable beneath all of the oily, blazing habanero oil. You possibly can catch extra of the bottom tequila on the nostril than on the palate, the place an earthy, barely mushroomy high quality is clearer.

The end isn’t everlasting, fortunately, however that warming warmth does stick to you for at the very least a couple of minutes.
Spicy margaritas and palomas? No motive to not begin there. Whereas its tequila cred is, nicely, unimaginable to essentially discern, Fiero is unquestionably price a strive as a mixer in any cocktail you’d like to show right into a palate-buster — or to be used as a dare-based/punishment shot, in fact.
