The lovely bottle brightened the room, especially since it was raining outside. It was a nice amber color in the glass. Aroma of caramel, oak and butter. Flavor of caramel, oak, cooked agave and some black pepper. The finish didn't last as long as expected. I was surprised to see this distillery also makes Pueblo Viejo, one of my bargain favorites. This one takes a hit in value for being 10 times the price.
Very sippable lots of barrel notes with some fruitiness.
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.

I found this to have a light nose compared to some other prized XAs. What I do get is nice with agave and butter and a bit of oak. Taste is fantastic. Buttery toffee, sweet cooked agave, light oak and caramel. A bit of cognac to the finish. Very nice. Not all pretty bottles have bad juice.
