San Diego Tequila and Cuisine Event

Tasted at San Diego Tequila and Cuisine event

Fan of this añejo. Pricey if you get the horse head, but you save about 35 bucks if you buy the bar bottle, which I did. Warm agave, mocha, caramel, dried fruit, very nice añejo.

Nice sweet nose, wood notes, cooked agave, cherry notes, a lot of sugary flavors in the taste profile, chocolate notes. A whiskey drinkers kind of tequila if that’s what you prefer

Their barrel blending process is their forte. Cabal aged expressions are a representation of good sipping tequila. Loved the transparency offered by the owners on their brand and process. Slightly overpriced (but also this brand is being affected by industry raw material factors). Alternative is to try their bar bottles if the horse head bottle is not as accessible for you as a consumer.

It’s sweet dark chocolate covered cherries on top of cooked agave. It’s an empty whiskey barrel and baking spices. There are hints of leather and soft pepper notes. There’s natural sweetness and a cohesiveness of aromas. There is a burst of flavors. The cooked agave runs from start to finish. I get the spices up front; nutmeg and cinnamon. Then the sweeter notes come in; natural vanilla and a sweet cream / creme brule. The finish is semi dry with some whiskey barrel notes but the sweetness carries through and there is a pleasantly light pepper on the tail end that lingers. Let this Anejo open up then enjoy!

tried a taste of each expression at the tequila people event in san diego 8/22. need to revisit for tasting notes 10/20/22 agave heat oak cherry nutmeg cinnamon a little green apple slight pepper and a mild lactic smell in the top nose when it sits definitely let this open up. the experience is very different after 20 minutes. I accidentally let it sit over an hour and it was even better

Catado in progress

Beautiful bottle, and the nose on the Anejo is very nice. Aromas of Agave, cherry, and some oak. The advice To let this Anejo open up is confirmed. Totally different experience by letting it open up for about 10 minutes. Good balance between agave and oak with a little natural vanilla and caramel flavor.

sampled at the Tequla Ranch in Paramount. and I just had to bring it home with me... nose gives you fresh roasted agave, nice barrel notes, cooking spices and citrus. on the palate you get a burst of cooked agave and roasted pineapple, pine nuts and dehydrated fruits.. nice mouth cover and chest heat. perfect for sipping on a cool night. finish lingers with notes of cinnamon and vanilla... thumbs up....
