Every year, Suerte Tequila releases a special-edition extra añejo tequila. In 2018, that comes in the form of Lucky Lips, a tequila that’s been aged for eight years.
Nose: Caramel apple, vanilla, cinnamon and cloves. Slow cooked agave with oak woodiness present on the nose. Some dark ripe fruit adds another layer of interest. Also picking up some mineral notes and grapefruit. A touch of sweet leather. Flavors: Silky almond, hazelnut nuttiness, feisty pepper zing with a nutmeg retrohale. Hints of pencil shavings. You know this has been aged in whiskey barrels, but with restraint. Finish: Nice. Licorice, tummy warming pepper and toffee leave you with a memorable and mouth filling experience.
