Fairly light in color for an añejo. Aroma is sweet with caramel and fruit (cherry) up front. Barrel is definitely noticeable. With a little time (~5 mins) the strong sweetness particularly dies down and the cherry dominates. Good peppery bite in the initial flavor. Thick and syrupy. The high proof heat is also evident in the flavor but not overpowering. Surprisingly, with the high proof and the peppery heat the finish is very short. Overall, some nice components but this doesn’t really seem to come together and integrate into something solidly good. 11-1-2022
