One of my favorite blancos of all time! So complex and multi layered!
Tasted alongside Rey Sol, and the two couldn’t be any more different. Amazingly, this extra anejo’s profile showcased cooked agave even after 9 years of aging. The complexity within this tequila is my favorite aspect. Dried fruits, raisin, berries, cooked agave, stone fruits, barrel spice and much more. Long finish.

This is nothing short of a massive whirlwind of flavor, Smoke, Sage, Grass, Anise, and Olive Brine were the dominant notes in this one. Only slightly malolactic and smokey This one is one of a kind!

Aroma: Honeyed bourbon and sherry lead with depth, followed by dark cherry, roasted almonds, molasses, and a soft vegetal waxy edge. Warm wood and a hint of candied nuttiness round it out. Palate: Sherry and dark cherry dominate, (XA notes indicative of this NOM), joined by pitted apricot, green plum, and anise. Peppermint and vanilla seep through, with cognac, orange citrus, and red apple mingling with a candied yam and white chocolate richness. The high proof gives a sharp, respectful edge, noticeable but not abrasive. Finish: Exceptionally dry with light leather, persistent pepperiness, and a gentle fade. Mona Lisa in a bottle.
