Agave forward nose, lured me in with a very soft profile. Flavour is good but not great, it hasn’t veered off the path of tequila but the finish is hot and dirty and lingers a bit too long for my taste. Overall a decent Tequila, the bottle is marvellous and the product is approachable.
From a Tequila Club presentation a few years back. I think my TMM rating got lost somewhere along the line. So I’m going from memory on this Reserva XA and another XA.

Striking bottle. Strike out tequila.
A little harsh, their version of a Cristalino. Not a fan of stripping the color and flavors from an Anejo. One of the prettiest bottles though.

Lote 101: Black Heart with Anejo Label no XA Label. Not listed on TMM. Never have I come across so complicated and oversaturated of an Anejo for me to decipher. The taste makes me think that this is a blend of XA’s and Anejos. The aroma is old papers, chewing tobacco, wood funk, ethyl, sour milk, whisky, leather, chocolate, mustiness, barrel spice, toffee, Werther’s caramel, and vanilla The palate perceives orange citrus, chocolate, caramel, honey, stale Brazil nuts, tobacco leaf, funky yeast, butterscotch, oak, light spice, whiskey, toffee ,molasses , and long sweetness that coats the tongue, but eventually I reached agave trails in the final fading finish with artificial sweetener cleaning up dust after the parade (Rocky and Bullwinkle reference). The sweetness after one glass is slightly headache-y, going to have this bottle awhile.
