Tequila Herradura Coleccion de la Casa Reserva & Tapatio 110 Proof Blanco make this best-of-list.
Cognac cask 2014 rested 11 mos in medium-char oak casks for 11 mos, then transferred to french oak casks from cognac for 3 more months (my question = why is this not considered anejo? Casks larger than 600 liters?) Nose dry oak, barrel spices, cinnamon, I pick up the agave profile more in this expression than the other two, Palate is sweet, the agave is still there with some fruit and honey, butterscotch Finish dry and warm
