Aromas of agave, cinnamon, and oak upon first impression. After a little while I get some fruity notes along with a bit more barrel influence. The taste is all caramel, vanilla, oak, and leather. Not much agave to speak of, so this is definitely a tequila for whiskey drinkers. The finish is a little more spicy with black pepper and oak. I wasn't expecting much for a $40 XA, but this actually pretty good, especially if it's your first experience with an extra añejo.

There’s a lot to love about this particular tequila, and the name alone makes one reason clear. Any tequila that involves a tahona in the production process will win a special place in our heart, and this one is no exception.

Strong cherry aroma at outset. Over time alcohol becomes more present and other barrel aromas - vanilla, pine, fresh cut lumber. Flavor opens with a spicy heat then moves to fruit notes with strong cherry again appearing. Overly sweet for my taste. Spicy finish lingers for a relatively short time. 12/24/2020 - 8th Annual Xmas XA tasting
