Sampled neat in a Glencairn at a restaurant. Nose: lots of barrel notes, but not overpowering, maybe strawberry. Palate: aged agave goodness, caramel, vanilla. It has some texture, as well, which is a bit different. Finish: short to medium, some alcohol, no agave, but more oak.
Oak and caramel on the nose. I’m tasting oak, cinnamon, caramel, honey, dried apricot, and cognac. Easy drinking XA for a reasonable price.
A light straw color. Nose of oak, vanilla, caramel, butterscotch, and cooked agave. Sweet across the palate, caramel comes through with some cinnamon spice. The finish is a combination of baking spices (nutmeg), vanilla, and a noticeable alcohol bite. The flavors linger for a good while afterwards.
Nose of lime zest, vegetal and citrusy, with a clean minerality to it. Taste of sweet cooked agave, quite mild, but very clean with a nice consistency. Ends on a finish of spice and pepper, with some alcohol bite to it. Leaves a pleasant warmth, and the flavors on the finish linger for quite a while.
Light gold in color, similar to mead. The nose brings out deeper notes of caramel, butterscotch, vanilla, nutmeg, and oak. A nice, clean consistency, with a slight natural tasting sweetness. On the finish, very smooth, tastes very similar to biting into fresh out of the oven cooked agave, with a blend of vanilla, caramel, and baking spices. A mellow and smooth finish that leaves a nice warmth. Definitely a good everyday sipper of an añejo.

We gave it this nickname when we noticed that women at our #tequila tasting events were drinking so much of it that they were “killing the bottle.”
