Lou cranks out another video, this time with his opinion of Azuñia Black Añejo.
Originally a Texas based company, it is now owned by the Kilkenny family in California, and they have a solid and interesting line of tequilas.
Sampled neat in a brandy snifter at a restaurant for USD17 a pour. Price seems fair. I've had the other Azuñia expressions and this is the stand out. Aroma and flavor: agave, caramel, heavy barrel influence, toffee, slightly minty, cherry, stone fruit. Finish: pepper, agave sweetness, barrel notes, long and lingering. A pleasant mouthfeel, but no / next to no noticeable alcohol.
