Just WOW. This is an extremely good and well made XA. * need to spend more time with it but first thoughts. Nose- agave, pitted fruit, cinnamon, oak Taste- agave up front followed by pitted fruit like cherry, honey, cinnamon/clove, vanilla, nice slight bitterness in the middle (make it balanced, not off putting) and a fantastic white pepper style finish with a long finish It is a little pricey but in my opinion well worth it.
OMG this is ESTELLAR
Strong agave aromas, black pepper and alcohol. Oak and cooked agave dominate, smooth finish with no lingering burn. Good supper.
Blind tastings are the best way to find out what you really like, free of marketing hype, bias, and previous experiences. They also give you the opportunity to experience tequila in a whole new way—using only your senses.
Making tequila is a time and labor-consuming process, when done right. But big corporations are taking shortcuts and pricing the artisan products out of the bar...and out of business.
The struggle these days isn't in finding a superb, distinctive, and refined tequila – one that instantly erases any hangover memories of rotgut shots – but deciding among myriad great options.
