What a perfect bite of heaven

I was so happy to get this bottle of tequila, having found it, of all places, in a tiny liquor store in Vancouver that only sold three bottles of tequila to start with. Was it expensive? Indeed it was. But to have something like this in your collection to finish off an evening of enjoyable tasting, it is a real gift. In that period between when the flavor ends in the finish begins you remember that each person you know is far more capable of greatness than they even imagine, that we all have this inherent capacity to be geniuses. Thank you, German.

I’ve always thought of this as an extension of the T1 lineup and it certainly doesn’t disappoint, TONS of agave flavour left with rich oak running up and down your tongue. This is a must have for your home collection.

Very complex. Flavors and aromas if agave, oak, vanilla and nuts. Pricey

Very nice aroma , semi sweet with little wood , nice sipping tequila , mild sweetness , honey , vinella , dried fruit , and almost bourbon like flavor .

The best! Where Mexico meets Scotland, France, and Spain. Notes of caramel, burnt sugar, pineapple, Agave, and spices. Let the people in Mexico try this great tequila where it is made

A classic purist’s mezcal. Full, sweet agave, spices and leather on the nose, smooth vanilla up front on the palate, and finishing with leather.

Put the price aside. Reminds me of a drinkable cigar. Great sipper is hold up to any bourbon.

$229 Bennie sez

Surprisingly mild floral smell, bitter woody taste absent of any agave or sweetness, finish is unremarkable and continues to be woody

The nose is a bit astringent, it over powers other aromas. Very smooth and buttery on the tongue and leaves just a tad of heat dancing on the tongue afterwards. Sadly no single flavor stands out. Very sad with this tasting...definitely WAY better tequilas out there for a lower price point.

It's so complex I'm still figuring it out. It's superbly crafted, for sure

this is a very good XA though i think there are better for the money. Tapatio is my all time favorite XA which is more complex Tears is lighter on the tongue and while it has a unique flavor of butterscotch and roasted agave it seems thin in comparison to other XA. I'm not s huge fan of autoclave tequila's and i suspect that results in a less complex and enjoyable flavor profile compared to tahona, brick oven XA.

Lots of depth in the nose. Vanilla. Sherry cask is evident. Maybe some bitter smoke? Very nice flavor at first. Sweet at first. The flavor changes with each sip, though. Can't get a bead on this one. Maybe the most complex glass I've tasted. Green bell pepper develops in the finish.

Caramel and vanilla

Had 4 glasses so far and still trying to decide. This is the definition of complex flavor and each sip is different.

The perfect tequila, potent and beautiful.

Wow had at a special tasting One of the best bottles I have ever had Amazingly subtle but so complex in its entry Long silky thick voluptuous legs this coalesced into a mature well balanced nose It opened with with a Spicy nectar, cinnamon, soft but, full body and flavor Perfect mix of aged agave fruit-not over done or toasted The finish well it was long clean and pure I wanted it to be longer ! A great and well made tequila !

A wonderful multi barrel aged blend is used to create this extra añejo and the care taken shows in every sip.

Aroma: Notes of caramel, cherry and oak. Also slight hints of leather and coffee. Flavor: An intense combination of caramel and coffee. There's a subtle hint of oak which creates a very smooth balance. Finish: Although it's slightly high proof the finish is very smooth. Not overly hot and sits in the back of your mouth.

Rich, complex aroma of oak, cherry and olive with a bit of grass or juniper. Wonderful flavor of sweet spice and almond with slight oak. The flavor is as complex as the nose and continues to evolve over time with floral, fruit and vegetal flavors. The finish is long, smooth and warm. This is fantastic. Tasted side-by-side with Crotalo Gran Reserva, Avion 44 and Diablito.

Great tequila and you definitely taste the effects of the extra barrel aging. Definitely worth a try. Smooth but not quite as smooth as i had anticipated- still a little burn.

Wow. This tequila is killer, and it shows German Gonzalez's level of talent and skill. The aroma is spectacularly inviting. The flavor is rich and nutty and not too heavy with wood. The finish is long lasting, slightly dry, and has layers of complexity that evolve on the palate. I'm bummed that we only have 1 bottle.

Great aromas of hazelnut and vanilla with a too-easy-to-drink body (at 43%!) and surprisingly tingly spice finish. The only reason this didn't rare higher is price- at around $250 a bottle. But, there's only 600 bottles available!
