Aroma: Another tequila with a unique aroma. It has notes of chocolate, caramel and an earthiness that I wouldn't expect in a XA. Flavor: There's a oak flavor upfront that dominates the flavor. Not as strong as the Fuenteseca or Tapatio Excelencia but still prevalent. Finish: A nice long lingering finish. It takes some time to work it's way to the back of your throat but coats your entire mouth in the process.
This one has an aroma unlike any other - mushroom and coffee along with just a little chocolate and black pepper. The texture is almost syrupy on the tongue and it has a nice bite of spice. The flavor rolls through multiple rounds - peppery spice, coffee/toffee, vanilla and cream. With all this going on it has a nice, gradual finish. For the price, it is obviously an indulgence but on a cool night by the fire this would be fantastic.
This is one seriously deep and complex tequila. Let it breathe for a while before diving in, and then explore the depths of this finely aged spirit.

Gotta admit, this might have more value as nostalgia than it does as a stand-alone but it’s a really nice tequila. I don’t get a lot of agave, it’s pretty uh been blended or aged out by this point. With that being said, it’s a lovely marriage of agave and oak, not too sweet, picks up this typical whisky notes and mellows them to make something unique. I recommend squirrelling a bottle away if you can.
