March 2013 bottling. 38% ABV 1 liter bottle $300 pesos Nose: That old school aroma. Round sweet agave. Caramel, faint vanilla and mellow baking spices. A touch of clay. A hint of celery. Flavor: Some oils. Sweet with a dash of bitters. The baking spice has taken on a more dominant role. Enough pepper to balance out the uber sweetness. Some mellow caramel apple notes. Reminds me of other older vintage tequilas. Finish: A short jackrabbit finish. Miravalle picked up a couple of extra points on value - nonetheless a simple, pleasant sip.

Medium amber color in the glass. Aroma of agave, oak and vanilla. Flavor of oak and caramel. Finish didn't last long.

Lot MB4018

Pretty good, agave still present regardless of oak exposure, front palette is all agave and the back end is reminiscent of a nice bourbon. Something to be said about their production choices, every step of the way has left the agave alone and allowed the flavour to endure.
