Nose is lacquer then wood. Taste is pleasant. Woody, but well rounded. Not my top choice but I would drink again ... UPDATE: I revisited this after the bottle had been opened and about 3/4 full for a few weeks. With some air and time to breath the wood has backed off big time. I think a (ahem) more polished blanco would carry this expression further. But for what is, is it’s a decent sipper.
Meh. A bit overpriced for what’s in the bottle. I get more barrel than agave.

Very closed/discreet aroma. Faint notes of chocolate and citrus. Also noticing a “sweet” note that is not cooked agave. Flavor begins mild and builds to a spicy end. Begins with baking spice (cinnamon, nutmeg) moves to a middle that is not great (rubber-y) and finishes with slightly bitter coffee. The finish is spicy and short to medium. Nothing about this XA is bad but also nothing is really good. Overall, pretty nondescript and blah. 12/24/2020- 8th Annual Xmas XA tasting
