Confirmed Additive-Free Brand
I’m a blanco guy, so XAs don’t top my lists. That being said Tears is a beautiful juice, complex in its flavor and gorgeous in my glass. Deep and balanced, and a powerful force that pours from your glass. Cognac and sherry is the bedrock of this tequila that caramel, wood, and anise lay. Unfortunately for me the agave is lost in the mix. If it was there I missed it, possibly over powered by this powerful punch of a drink. I don’t smoke, but I imagine this would pair beautifully with a cigar.
Touch of smokiness at the finish
One of the best XAs out there on many levels. Each release varies slightly on the nose and palate. The Diamond release like the rest is agave forward, followed by cherry, berries, figs, dried apricot and pineapple, citrus, cinnamon, sweet smoky oak, nutty, minerals, etc.. very complex and ever changing linger. Proper XA.
