Agavales

Agavales Gold is markedly better than any of the dozens of mass-market mixtos. It's nothing luxurious by any means—it is, after all, gold tequila, which means unaged and food-colored—but it has a distinctive nose of black pepper and pineapple, with none of gasoline scents you get from other tequilas in its price range. It definitely has fumes but is a smooth tequila for the price point.

The aroma is balanced with notes of agave and sweet cinnamon. Spicy and smooth are harmonious on the palate. ABV 40%
