Monita is a brand new tequila launched by Black entrepreneur Serita Braxton, and it guarantees a “distinctive, clean style” and a “flavor-filled profile.” It’s 100% agave, however there’s not a lot further data accessible about agave sourcing or pina ages. Whereas the three conventional expressions can be found, we obtained solely the blanco for evaluation. Let’s give it a strive.
For those who’re in search of a tequila with out the punch of the “tequila,” Monita’s your jam. The nostril is as gentle as could be, the agave components coming throughout nearer to lime leaf, counterbalanced by white sugar, sesame oil, and only a contact of ruddy earth tones. I’ve had vodkas extra aromatic than this tequila — for higher or for worse. The palate is simply as delicate and candy, leaning on lemon-lime components, cane syrup, a pinch of pepper, and, ultimately, imprecise notes of aloe, cigar field, and evergreen. It tastes like tequila however not like tequila, if that makes any sense. I’m undecided that it does both, however perhaps I’m nonetheless simply attempting to wrap my thoughts round this.
80 proof. NOM 1439.
