The scotch cask is really driving the bus here, it’s not a bad collaboration but I really don’t feel like the tequila is showing well.
Finally, a collaboration that actually takes on some character of the previous cask!!! Loads of Scotch here mid palette, it mingles really nicely with the sweetness already present in DJ’s house style. I 100% guarantee you could put this in front on any Scotch drinking and get a positive review. Nice collaboration, hopefully whoever dreamed this up has more to come.
A little bland and watered down but somewhat sold, with a lot of caramel. vanilla, sweet, oak, fruit and citrus...but considering the price.... forget it.
I love smokiness and french oak, so this was a winner all around for me.
Tasted at the before and after party at NW Agave Fest. Aromas of dried fruit, oak, agave predominate. In the mouth this is quite dry with some malted barley from the whiskey barrel and orange zest as well as agave and oak. Not over flavored by the double barreling I was surprised a bit by this and noted none of the diffuser funk that I have tasted with the blanco recently. Short dry finish holds this back in the rating.
Aroma : Vanilla and butterscotch. Small amount of oak. Taste : Agave, caramel, vanilla and butterscotch. There is some oak here as well. Light black pepper. This is a sweet Reposado profile, but it seems a little thin bodied. Finish : Medium length with more emphasis on oak and black pepper.

Horrible as a Cristalino gimmick. Fake pine, vanilla, chocolate, fruit etc. An overly sugary finish... absolutely horrendous
