Nose: Oak forward with cooked agave peeking through, followed by caramel, dried fruit, orange zest, and a touch of black pepper. Everything’s in there, but it’s kind of tangled. It takes a little patience to pull apart the layers. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a slick texture. On the palate there is nothing off putting, but nothing exciting either. Oak, vanilla & caramel sweetness, some generic barrel spice, and a bit of agave. It’s all there, just dialed down and blended into a pretty basic profile. Finish: Short and soft. Sweetness lingers briefly with a flash of barrel spice, then it’s gone. Final Thoughts: This is a no frills, easygoing Añejo. Definitely not for the complexity chasers, but it’s inoffensive and decent enough to hand to a casual whiskey drinker who’s just dipping a toe into tequila. Not something I’d seek out, but I get its lane.

Light nose with some pineapple and jalapeño. On the palate I don’t get a lot of pineapple but just the right amount of jalapeño. I get olive brine and light agave. This is a nice change of pace tequila. I think I’d really like this in a ranch water.

Thanks Adrianne and Paul! A nice surprise. This one is pretty good. From aroma to finish it’s solid. Aroma is nice and light with some agave and normal barrel flavors. The taste is good with agave and light sweetness. I like the pepper on the finish.
