I met up in the middle of the show floor with the guys from my liquor store here in Eugene and we popped in at the ginormous Pernod-Ricard booth. As I already carry most of the products that they were showcasing, I was interested in tasting their Tezón tequila.
Tequila often has a lot of black pepper tones to it, but what I got from the Tezón was a lot of vanilla. Very flowery, with a lingering, almost oily finish.
I could almost see pairing this one with a little Marie Brizard Parfait Amour…
