Anejo this is an old teardrop bottle that we've had for several years (2015ish?) AQ 9223, L3010= nose: caramel, cinnamon, butterscotch anise a little fruit citrus pepper, barrel notes. taste: nutty oak, agave, cinnamon, barrel spices, sweet pepper. Medium/long finish with warmth, dry
REPO this is an old teardrop bottle that we've had for several years (2015ish?) RQ 11192, L2011= subtle nose that opens, agave, a little oak a little alcohol, fruit nuts and the funk again (soap, Bandaids?), some oak, barrel spices. Taste is white pepper butterscotch oak, barrel spices a little bitter on finish and that funky taste lingers
this is an old teardrop bottle that we've had for several years (2015ish?) Blanco BP 522, no L1009 nose - white pepper alcohol agave fruit and a funky smell (soap?) taste = more agave/sweet taste than nose, but a weird funky aftertaste. note: this bottle is old and has been open a long time with only a little left in the bottle. so I'm not sure if the funk is due to oxygenation or if it's always been there. but I gotta rate based on what I'm getting in the tasting notes.
the nose is very appealing, agave bubblegum vanilla. taste cooked agave bubblegum vanilla pepper whiskey, oak. finish is very dry. this is good, but it's a little more oaky and drier than I prefer.
