Some alcohol on the nose but the cooked agave comes through…. A bit more mellow than the XA …. Barrel spice and vanilla on the nose. Black pepper on the mouth, not long finish. Notes of vanilla

This is very dry on the palate though not as tannic as I might have expected from the oak and the higher proof. Some nice lingering spice on the palate as the finish fades with a surprising lack of alcohol presence. All in all a very nice high proof añejo. Thanks MB

to pablo Richmond, va spicy nose, covered in caramel deep barrel oak on the palate with easy sweet spice sliding in for the finish.

Rich, heady, complex aroma leaning heavily toward fruit, dried fruit and sweet barrel notes. Fruit is more muted on the palate, leaning more toward drier barrel notes and spice/pepper. Gladly, it is not as sweet or rich as the aroma. Long dry finish of pepper and roasted nuts with just a touch of sweet orange zest. Based solely on the price and profile, this would be a decent value, but when you figure in that it is also organic and overproofed, it moves into excellent territory.

Aroma: Slightly medicinal but not overpowering. There's also a hint of earthiness/clay but after letting it sit there is a lot of butterscotch. Nice, complex aroma. Flavor: Sweet (vanilla) upfront but quickly is overpowered by a smokey note. There's a bit of oak and slightly bitter. *Blind Rating*

Nice aroma dominated by banana and followed by vanilla. The higher alcohol content is also noticeable in the aroma. Thick, syrupy texture with strong peppermint flavor. Milder flavors of vanilla. Surprisingly light on oak. Nice lingering finish that is not as hot as might be expected in a high-proof tequila.

Basically, it tastes like whiskey. If that’s your thing, it’s good. I don’t think it tasted like tequila.

very spicy in the corners of the mouth and lingers, floral, vanilla

Wow! This is spicy as hell. Aromas of oak, vanilla & honey. Very oily mouthfeel. Pepper, cinnamon, spice & more pepper flavors (but nothing sweet). Higher proof brings the heat. Peppery finish lingers in the throat. Maybe the most intense flavor & heat profile I’ve tasted. Will need to revisit this one before I decide if I love it or hate it.

This is a hot mess… The youthful bourbon influence gives it a white dog corny taste. It is somewhat interesting and somewhat disappointing. Not much of a fan.

Complex Aroma - citrus, banana, slight alcohol, light caramel Flavor - oily oak flavor. Heat comes quick Finish - leaves the tongue and lips tingling. Bang! Oak on the breath but the high proof works here Pleasantly surprised with this one.

Smoky nose, hints of pepper and agave. Full and complex body, peppery with lots of caramel. Pepper lingers in the slow, gradual finish. Awesome!

Even though it's only aged for 364 days, it boasts extremely potent wood character. The ten-gallon Garrison Brothers barrel it's aged in gives it a sweet caramel, vanilla, and oak nose. As far as taste is concerned, you get sweet bourbon up front, with a nice subtle agave peppery finish. Definitely a whiskey drinker's tequila; it is very unique. It can easily be drunk neat, or take the place of a bourbon in any classic whiskey cocktail. Phenomenal.

high proof, but still sippable. great pop and mellow flavor. small barrels (10g)from Garrison Brothers in Texas, great anejo for the partier
