Nose: fair amount of cooked agave, caramel, vanilla, oak, and dried cherries Flavor: agave, dried fruit, butterscotch, earthy, lime zest, and light spice Finish: nice long finish with agave and dried fruit

This is for Barrel 3, Bottle 604 Nose: Cooked agave. I get a compound butter of orange and honey, a gentle sweetness, hints of clove and nutmeg. Wet cement following a rainstorm. Flavor: I get earthiness and caramel, sweet cooked agave, and light spice of peppercorn, cinnamon and allspice. A light vanilla custard. Finish: Not very long, it starts spicy and ends with a slight sweetness of dried fruit. Notes: This is an outstanding tequila. I believe this tequila can be very food friendly. For example, a grilled pork tenderloin with a sweet chili rub.

Barrel 3 Bottle 604

Aroma : Light fruits, cinnamon, butter and baking spices alongside agave and earth and mineral notes. Taste : Black pepper, earth, and mixed nuts are contrasted with sweet cooked agave, caramel and dried fruits. The oily texture has a great balance that's just the right amount of sweet but earthy and spicy. Finish : Long, warm, and inviting, perfect for the fall season.

Barrel 3- Nice spice, fruit, wet cement/wet earth, fresh and sugary sweet, but so clean and more, with tons of deliciousness

Barrel 3 so your mileage may vary.

Barrel 3, Bottle 690. Color is light straw. Medium to medium heavy viscosity. Aroma is somewhat reminiscent of El Tesoro de Don Felipe reposado at first, but has greater depth I probably won't fully appreciate on this first pour. Flavor is amazing - excellent representation of a reposado where agave meets oak and both are in harmony. The sweetness is just to my liking (hard to describe). Finish is very good - not much alcohol, but some nice toasted oak notes that continue through. Purchased for $75USD; fitting for the range, quality, and uniqueness, but perhaps a bit much for a reposado, in general. All in all, an excellent addition to the Volans range.
