Sooooo gentle considering the time in oak, it’s rare to find balance and restraint in an expensive XA. Toasted nuts and caramel linger far after your last sip, the finish is by far the star of the show.
The nose is a wow! You get layers of complexity. Citrus, vanilla, white chocolate, ripe fruit and a floral essence. It is rich and vibrant. Flavor: Another wow! An initial alcohol punch, but not a knockout. Spices, ripe fruit and hints of barrel oak. Very creamy and viscous with a nice pepper kick. This may set a new standard of excellence for me - or close. An extremely long and rewarding finish. The price may knock off a few points, but overall it is worth it.
Nice, fragrant aroma full of fruit and oak. You can literally pick up the aroma from 3 feet away. Flavor is smooth and creamy with sweet fruit and caramel upfront that evolves to a nice baking spice bite. The finish is medium to long. This is a great end of the evening sipper. The bottle is also fantastic. 03-29-2018
One of the cool things about La Cata is that they make things available to tequila geeks like you and me. Their first exclusive offering is the special edition “La Cata” single barrel extra añejo from Rey Sol.

A favorite extra añejo of mine! A little spicy up front on the palate but softens nicely with a butterscotch finish!
