Nose: Caramel, vanilla, dark cherry candy, raw oak, a finely ground pepper note, and a hint of bandaid. Flavor: Heavy handed oak presence: whiskey oak, new oak, bourbon oak. Almost acrid pepper and barrel spices, with vanilla sweetness weaving its way through the flavors. Not much agave that I can find. But I’m not totally hating this either... Finish : Some bitterness, a dry sensation to the finish, and dominated by more oak and wood: I get a flavor reminiscent of sucking on a pencil.

Doesn’t smell like anything, tastes like cake, long and sweet aftertaste is really nice to win new “tequila” drinkers. I am a bit conflicted about this category, I appreciate the doors it’s opening but the snob in me wants to hate it!!

This product is clearly leaning on the companies whisky making expertise, it’s a really good Añejo considering the base ingredient. Classic example of how the use of oak can mask blemishes in a Blanco.
