This sauce comes on to your palate very sweet. Then a smoky sensation comes through bringing forth an onion and garlic taste. This is all bolstered on the shoulders of the sesame oil, which is a highly effective flavor for this sauce. The chipotle flavor works itself occasionally to your tongue but is not the focus of the sauce. If you try really hard you can taste the tequila, which is covered under a mountain of flavor. Don’t let the name fool you, it’s not very hot at all.
