Nose: Cider, light colored tree fruit, nutmeg and a touch of vanilla. Light barrel treatment, yet pleasant barrel spices present: cloves, cinnamon and cardamom. Caramel green apple with a hint of toffee. An earthy note and a light kiss of citrus. Flavor: Crisp fruit notes. Caramelized agave richness melded with filbert nuttiness. Warm spices and white pepper. An almond undercurrent. Buttery, slightly salty flavor and texture. Clean lines. Nice balance. Finish: An almond paste, agave brûlée peppered finale.

Nose of minerals, agave, olive and very light barrel notes with sweet, caramel taste that goes down very nicely. Different than their single barrel repo, which smells more of butterscotch with a mineral finish. Something for everyone between the 2 choices!

Nose: fair amount of cooked agave, caramel, vanilla, oak, and dried cherries Flavor: agave, dried fruit, butterscotch, earthy, lime zest, and light spice Finish: nice long finish with agave and dried fruit

This is for Barrel 3, Bottle 604 Nose: Cooked agave. I get a compound butter of orange and honey, a gentle sweetness, hints of clove and nutmeg. Wet cement following a rainstorm. Flavor: I get earthiness and caramel, sweet cooked agave, and light spice of peppercorn, cinnamon and allspice. A light vanilla custard. Finish: Not very long, it starts spicy and ends with a slight sweetness of dried fruit. Notes: This is an outstanding tequila. I believe this tequila can be very food friendly. For example, a grilled pork tenderloin with a sweet chili rub.
