It has a good portion of cognac and/or whiskey barrel.

The aroma isn’t a big aroma and a bit light, however the taste and smooth finish are really good. There are subtle hints of different flavors and a slight pepper to it. Now out of Xtra Anejo I think there is usually a more woody barrel taste and darker color (which is also light) which this is missing. I am having a cigar with it as that can change the overall flavors at times - so I’ll try again (new bottle) and see where that goes. Cost $89.99 + $5.05 shipping

You can taste the real bourbon barrel, it's the most tasteful extra añejo for me, at great price in comparison with other brands. The 43% ABV hits real nice with the Spiced finish.

its the Only Extra Añejo ive ever tried that never loses the Agave flavor, its still Tequila

Aroma : Dried fruit with pear, raspberry. Almond, vanilla, and caramel. Some baking spices and a small touch of cooked agave. Taste : Full bodied with the same dried fruit notes with cooked agave as well. Oak, nutty with almond, and light sweetness with vanilla and caramel. Finish : Long lasting and prolongs dried fruit notes with a little bit of cherry, and the same nutty and sweet notes from before. This tequila hit all the right notes for me. Plus I love that there was cooked agave AND dried fruit notes. With many Añejos and Extra Añejos it seems like you only get one or the other. This is top tier.

I love everything about this XA including the heat on the finish! Wow!

WOW!

cooked agave caramel vanilla dried fruit some oak. great long finish. one of my new favorites . only for special occasions

Truly excellent, beats others at 2x the price. Smooth, with little burn (especially with the higher alcohol content).

great juicyfruit gum taste

Wow! Definitivamente un gran Tequila! Con este puedo estar totalmente orgulloso de lo que el tequila representa actualmente. Se nota el cuidado que dio Cascahuin a este tequila, no adicionando nada, sabores naturales, caramelo, vainilla, agave cocido! Cuatro años en barrica. Un tequila para tener en casa y disfrutarlo como postre!

I like this one a lot. Not overly woody or overly sweet as many extras are. Lovely cooked agave, honey, caramel. Great oily mouthfeel. Soft white pepper in the finish.

One of the best new tequilas I have tried.

Okay, im a Cascahuin fan. But this is no joke. Wonderful nose. Dried friut and cherries. A bit of oak. Amazing. Super oily, agave, oaky, baking spice and fruit cake on the tongue. Exceptional.

Very nice aroma and full of flavor. Used the Stölzle ”Jarrito” Tasting Glass for tequila. Definitely on top of the list

Wow. I am impressed. Glad I picked this up while in Guadalajara!!! Verrrry smooth and lots of agave flavor for an XA!

Lots of oak on the nose, need to let it breath for a bit after initial pour. Very soft flavor.

This is one of(if not) the best extra Anejo’s I’ve had, what i love about it is that it still retains agave flavour without compromising it with time in the barrel which so many others do.

Pleasant amber color and nice long legs in the glass. Aromas of caramel, vanilla and alcohol (at 43%). Flavors of cooked agave along with the oak from longer aging. Nicely rounded, long finish. From the alcohol aroma I expected this might burn but it is very smooth. This is a Mexico only bottle. I thought the price was a bit high until I heard the prices for other XA.

Maybe it was the tasting bottle but I found this really harsh for an XA. The alcohol sting overpowered the flavors. Much better XAs on the market for the price. I wanted to like this one too. Perhaps I’ll give it another shot

Cherries and tropical fruit on the nose, with hints of agave. Initial taste of pepper, immediately followed by tannins and caramel. Long and complex finish, nice heat on the tongue and throughout. An exceedingly interesting XA that hasn’t lost its soul in the barrel.

Appearance: Dark amber color. A corona forms, and eventually some of the slowest tears that I have ever seen. Nose: Caramel, vanilla, ripe berries, green olives and vibrant baking spices. Hint of oak marries well with the agave. Flavors: Explosive. Baking spices, pepper, and nice round fruit and agave. Exceptional.

This México only tequila has a nice golden color. The nose starts with caramel and cooked agave. There are notes of creme brulee, vanilla and orange peel. The taste is a sweet mix of agave, oak and pepper. The finish is smooth and short. Overall this is a great tequila but I think it drinks more like an Anejo than an XA. If you can find a bottle, purchase it!

One of my all time top 5 XAs, love that it’s not overly woody or sweet like other overpriced XA’s out there. This one is close to a perfect balance!! Bold, great nose and just a tad sweet enough to still be Tequila and unlike that trash out there full of additives . If you haven’t had this, it is a must!!! Try it, you won’t be disappointed!! (If you’re a true Tequila nut!)

Awesomeness bottled at 43%.
