Nose: sweet cooked agave / molasses/ chocolate/ vanilla/ caramel/ nutmeg/ baking spices / banana / tea / anise / cream soda Taste: sweet cooked agave/ molasses/ vanilla/ peppermint/ caramel/ banana/ lime / anise / tea / nutmeg/ chocolate/ cream soda Finish: medium viscosity mouthfeel and lingering sweet cooked agave and peppermint spicy notes linger and prevail through the whole taste with a hint of spearmint and even more vanilla on the last swallow. This anejo is fantastic. So much amazing barrel flavors and sweet cooked agave. The sweetness and vanilla/chocolate notes over run the spicy and leave a sweet minty fresh final end to the taste. Highly recommend this.
Nose: sweet cooked agave / vanilla/ caramel/ earth / mineral/ banana/ apple / lime / tea / nutmeg/ molasses/ chocolate/ Taste: sweet cooked agave/ peppermint/ vanilla/ cinnamon/ citrus / apple/ grapefruit/ anise / tea / nutmeg / chocolate/ molasses/ cream soda Finish: medium viscosity mouthfeel and lingering sweet agave and pepper just keep hanging on to the palate….sweet and spicy nice harmony with a peppermint final bow on the last swallow This joven really packs some flavor at 46% abv. Such and easy sipper though the spicy notes are more prevalent on the last part of the taste which lingers. The sweet is not considerably balanced with the pepper but it’s not specifically unbalanced. It has a bit of a teeter totter effect. Very good and recommend this bottle.
Another great one from Xolo. On the nose you get the barrel. Yes, you can pull some agave but I get whiskey, apple cinnamon and baking spices. On the palate, very oaky with a whiskey forward taste. I get cooked agave, baking spices and a touch of chocolate. The finish is good and the ABV works pretty well with this expression. I do love Xolo. Joven is still my favorite but I will continue sipping on this one.
Nice upgrade over the plata, nose & pallet have wayy more going on, agave, cinnamon/anise, herbal notes, some fruitiness, earthy, spices, just classic beautiful tequila.Definitely fills in gaps over the plata, an easy choice for me!
