Agave, caramel, and oak on the nose. Barrel spice and some cinnamon. Then there’s a sweetness that reminds me of French oak but their “premium” uses American, so I’m not sure. There’s a sweet fruity note that is almost like dates. If I was nosing this blind, I’d think it was an añejo. Excellent nose. There’s a bit of Ethanol but it opens up and that disappears entirely. Cooked agave, some vanilla. Not really a lot going on. Definitely a little oak and pepper, possibly the caramel but it’s faint and it could be the nose tricking me. Short finish. Overall Pretty decent. For $25, it’s decent enough as a sipper but I felt the blanco was tastier, the oak is overpowering for me, and I’m not loving it. Still good, but I think Arette reposado is a better budget buy.
