I was told that this is no longer in production. Nose: Ripe plum, raisins, citrus, spices and agave. Some vanilla. Flavor: Nuts, licorice, toffee, coffee and almonds. Round mouth feel. Lengthy finish of spices, pepper and caramel. Not terribly complex.
120 Year Anniversary Edition. Aged in same barrels as Rey Sol. Simply put, tasty AF.
Been in WA for a while now. When it was first here in the state it was limited to just a store or two in the old distribution system. Older bottles don't disappoint but I have not tried anything recent. Light sweetness from the French Oak aging and some agave lurking in back. Baked notes and oak dominate the palate. Finish is a bit short but fades nicely to a bit of ethanol and wood.

Orange blossom and baking spice follow. A satisfying prickle on the tongue from sufficient peppery alcohol and a coating, medium body mouthfeel. Cooked agave is still present in the flavor although the whiskey, caramel, baking spice takes the lead and in particular a strong likeness to Grand Marnier. Some vanilla fades in the background. A medium to long finish with whiskey, pepper and Grand Marnier notes competing for the final spot. Even without the agave being the star of this show, it is interesting and complex enough to keep sipping (and buying it when I see it on the rare occasion). Especially at a very reasonable price point (under $60, if I remember correctly)
