Nose: Minerals, apricots and a spritz of lemon. Buttery sweet agave notes. Pecan pralines. A deep rich aroma profile. Flavor: Anise, pepper punch, salinity. Medium body. Floral undertones accompany orchard fruitiness. Licorice tongue teases throughout. Just a suggestion of barreling. Nice blend of heat and sweet on the finish.
Somehow it did not remind me of ocho, it was slightly nutty and had a sweet taste unlike other batches. This is nice, I prefer it to the other 2023 bottlings.
Aromas; spring flower, spearmint, chewing gum, live zest, green mango, nutmeg, smoke, gooseberry, and caraway seeds are present. Palate and finish; papaya, anise, mint, peppercorns, cream soda, vanilla, arugula and coffee beans. Excellent sipper with long legs and lots of pearls. Nice agave after taste with no burn or fade alcohol presence. ...IMHO.. one of the best XA
