This the new Lote 02/21 from this year. The agaves were sourced from Los Altos. And 7% extra añejo was added. Nose: The aromas begin with caramel and a slightly funky, sour note which gradually fades into the round vanilla aromas. Subtle baking spices, tame white pepper and lightly toasted nuts. Dried fruit: apricots and raisins. The caramel and vanilla morph into a butterscotch richness. With a little breathing time, thyme, tea and cut grass emerge. Flavor: An incredible oily, buttery texture coats your entire palate. There is salinity and an umami element. As a counterpoint, the tame white pepper of the nosing, takes on a near fiery presence. Assertive agave fruitiness. Spices punching through: cinnamon and cloves. Hazelnut and butterscotch rounding out the profile and bringing it all together. Cazcanes does not produce assembly line profiles - pretty unique tequilas.

Excellent taste and long warm finish - knocked a few points for value due to price pint. Good sipper!

Very pleasing aroma of fruit, agave, vanilla and slight hay. Nicely balanced flavor, with cooked agave and vanilla. Finish has a nice subtle sweetness.

Knocked a few points off for the price point of almost $100 per 750ml. Very pleasant to sip and having tasted this several times recently, I was glad to obtain a bottle for myself. Caramel nose along with a bit of barrel funk/mustiness. Some sweetness on entry along with agave spice and alcohol. A somewhat short finish that fades to lingering sweetness.

Lote 02/21. A nice straw color. The aroma has caramel and agave. Very pleasant. The flavor adds some pepper. Of note is the oily mouthfeel. With a touch of cinnamon and slightly more pepper, the finish is very good and of medium length.

Strong agave presence from start to finish! Lost points for the price.

Nose- agave, slight sweetness Taste - cooked agave, light pepper, slight butter Finish - slight alcohol, pepper, cooked agave Outstanding repo, this did not disappoint.

As everyone else said.. it’s expensive. But very good. Nice taste of agave(fibers like your getting the nectar from it) loads of pepper little caramel and a slight bit of a candy caramel apple. Very nice.

Very pleasant aroma of vanilla, oak and fruit. Nice balance on the flavor profile of sweet vanilla and caramel with a slight peppery finish. Points off for value here due to the higher price tag.
