First review of 2023, but not my first tequila lol. I’m getting a lot of caramel, butterscotch, oak, and alcohol on the nose. This is for sure a dessert tequila that’s on the sweeter side. There are flavors of dulce de leche, piloncillo, oak, caramel, and vanilla. There’s some cinnamon and nutmeg as well. I can’t tell if it’s heavily relying on oak or if there’s some additive use… I’d err on both; thankfully it’s not over the top. Would it be something I drink again, maybe. This is definitely a notch up from San Matias XA but still lacking in complexity compared to other XAs. Extra points for value… $60USD. At an extra $20 I’d recommend Terralta XA over this.
