We’ve never had to start off a story with a disclaimer before, but here it goes: DO NOT attempt to make this cocktail recipe at home. This is the “most dangerous tequila cocktail in the world.”
Winners are: Milagro Silver; Siete Leguas Reposado; IZKALI Anejo; Casa Sauza XA Edicion Limitada Extra Anejo
After having the blanco and the anejo, I knew that I had to give this one a try...and I was not at all disappointed with the result.
Tasted in a Riedel tequila glass Nice nose of agave, vanilla and oak. Citrusy with some fruity tones. I get cinnamon and caramel. Good barrel on the nose. Taste is agave forward. Nice dose of pepper and then barrel notes of oak, vanilla and caramel. Finish has an alcohol forward profile. Good repo.
