Nose: Citrus, orange blossoms, and earth. Cinnamon, cloves and vanilla. Flavor: Light oiliness, trace agave, and bold black pepper. Creamy caramel and vanilla with an undercurrent of oak. Finish: Shortish with murky, muddled flavors.

I’m starting to think I might be an XA fan, this is entering lovely!! Tons of caramel, almond and baking spice, all those cognac flavours. I’m going to make a Manhattan out of this.....stay tuned.....

Tons of cherry and oak on this, I’m getting more agave on this that I do with the repo, go figure. This is the picture of what anejo should taste like if I were to write a text book. Classic & dependable.

I lost that unique “Orendain” flavour with this, the oak treatment just diminishes that signature. It’s ok, I’m not in love with it.

Old school, agave forward, a tad too boozy for anytime consumption but this brand has a special place in my heart!

Nose: Fruit, floral and agave nose. Trace cinnamon and mint. A little smokiness. Flavor: Heavy hit of pepper on the palate with some sweet agave, and a hint of vanilla. Just no focused flavors coming through. Finish: Medium pepper burn and bitterness.
