Very earthy aroma. Heavy earth flavor with vegetal undertones. Nutty finish with a hint of smoke. It’s interesting, and a good deal at under $40.
Nice, but mild, nose. Hints of butter, vanilla & caramel. Initial sip is so smooth it almost doesn’t register. Buttery caramel flavor. Very smooth finish. Long lasting flavor notes of cherry blossom, and a hint of pepper. This extra añejo is a real bargain! Specialist at Total Wines recommended and said this was from a real artisanal tequila maker. I’ll definitely keep this one around!
A 5 year aged Extra Añejo this tequila has been showing up in Total Wine stores in my area (WA state). A nice golden amber this XA presents barrel spice and wood on the nose and a very bourbon forward, Jack Daniels?, taste that has little hint of sweetness. The color and taste indicate an honest product, with no manipulation by additive/s. The extended aging also has killed almost any agave in the taste and the rating reflects that lack. Still for the price AND the 5 year age it is worth a shot.
