Bottle No. 3A 39,167 Medium Gold in color Thin consistency, fast legs. Slightly warming initial nasal impact. Butterscotch, oak, cooked agave, cinnamon and pepper on the aroma. Watery mouthfeel with mild alcohol. Caramel and honey are dominant on the palate. Cooked agave, cinnamon, pepper, vanilla, barrel spice and oak follow. There is a hint of unbuttered bran muffin on the retro nasal. Short finish with a lingering sweetness reminiscent of a bourbon. Almost drinks like a budget anejo, being how barrel forward it is. This is good for bourbon drinkers entering into the tequila world. For around $36, it's a budget friendly additive free reposado (although a bit too barrel forward for the kind of repo I prefer) but worth a try. I give this extra points for value, which just brings me to my 80 score.
