This is a delicious Reposado aged in American Oak barrels. It has a creamy, vanilla, cherry and slight caramel aroma, with some baking spice, honey, a t ouch of. pine and a whiskey presence. On taste it's creamy, with whiskey and a baking spice mouthfeel, with vanilla and just a pinch of caramel. It has a deep color because of a 3 Barrel technique where a brand new, never used American oak barrel is used. with a medium + toasted used barrel, and a medium + used bourbon barrel, before it is all blended together.

Love the aroma of sour agave and spice. Pretty bold in the mouth this held back for me a bit by a somewhat bitter finish. Not a cookie cutter reposado. Reminds me a bit of La Gritona from NOM 1533

Interesting aroma here. There is this slightly sour/lactic thing going on which I like. Pine, butter, and vanilla are also prominent on the nose. Creamy vanilla flavor that has a respectful sweetness. Finish is extremely gentle and just long enough to make you want to go for another sip.

Caramel with pinecone were two of the strongest notes for me

For me, the bitterness in the finish is the limiting factor, but I can understand the appeal.

The first naturally fermented small batch organic tequila that I have been willing to spend money on.
