I agree with Jay...this tequila is all about that oldschool, straightforward agave character! I found this current bottling to be very full flavored for a blanco-- however, it loses points on the finish due to a fair amount of alcohol heat which was still present after adequate breathing time. The agave aromas and flavors to be had here are top notch-- but, if you're looking for an array of other notes commonly found in blancos, this one could disappoint. If you don't mind the heat, it's a very tastey sipper...also shoots well and makes killer drinks! $32 in Oregon for this quality is a great buy!

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.
