Viscosity of the blanco carries to this reposado. Quite spicy with oak and agave and a lingering finish.
NOM 1079
The aroma is pleasant with a strong note of cinnamon, and subtle hints of vanilla and caramel. The taste is on par with the aroma by having a strong cinnamon flavor. There is also a slight hint of oak. I tend to expect an Anejo to taste much more oaky or barrel heavy but this is very pleasant. I tend to be a fan of Blancos and Repos but this is one of my favorite Anejos. It's definitely worth picking up a bottle.
Rating refers to the 10 year XA from NOM 1079 only.
Not at all what I expected, this tastes like tequila through and through! Nothing earth shattering here but a solid effort, boozing ending caught me off guard.
