Fielding & Jones tear drop, RK 8370. Beautiful golden color. Lots of fresh agave on the nose and some floral notes, followed by hints of caramel. Good viscosity, leaving tears on the Riedel. Butterscotch and light oak notes, cleanly transitions to agave before finishing with light pepper kick. Easy heat, but a medium to long finish with complexity that hangs onto the top of your mouth. Really enjoyable old school bottle.
Finally enough oak to overcome the average effort on the Blanco, not anything unique or special, just tasty
Im just not digging this, not enough oak the change the profile and the Blanco wasn’t awesome to begin with.
No balance to be found, weak on the nose and a weak agave build up followed up by an oddly chemical finish. I won’t revisit this.
Lot 1041. While it’s a huge improvement over the Preiss Imports version, it’s too sweet, unnaturally sweet. Will stick to my regular tequilas.
Lote 81. Though not one of the earlier cherished lotes, this is very, very good.
What do Casamigos, Avión, and Clase Azul tequilas all have in common? All are made in the same distillery, located in a town called Jesús María in the Los Altos region of Jalisco, Mexico.
