The aroma enters with potent honey and caramel, intertwined with bourbon/whiskey and a cooked agave raisin note. Fresh cut oak and roasted almond add depth, with a nearly indiscernible ethyl note, molasses, and a hint of spice rounding out the profile. On the palate, tropical fruit and red apple come forward, followed by black pepper and wood/oak notes. Brine and honey add complexity, while watery bourbon and roasted almond provide a nuanced sweetness. Orange citrus, caramel, clove and baking spice contribute to the overall harmony, with a touch of light-cooked sweet potato adding an earthy undertone. The finish is characterized by distinct fading brine, oak, and dried fig. A minuscule brine note lingers alongside dried red apple, subtle whiskey essence, and black tea creating a satisfying conclusion.

Nose: Agave, Carmel, Oak, Raisin, Fig, Butter, Vanilla Mouthfeel: light to medium-bodied Palate: Cinnamon, Raisin, Dates, Oak, baking Spice, Clove, Alcohol Finish: FIG, Carmel, Dates, Oak/Barrell, Possibly a slight brine as well. This wasn't bad. I got a lot of sweet dried fruit throughout my tasting of this; Fig, Raisin and Dates all popped into mind when enjoying this. Fig especially came through on the finish. The finish felt on the short end for my liking. I would've like to pick up a bit more agave than I did as well.

Hmmm. Definitely taste the wine casks and French oak. On the nose..I don't know...agave wine, caramel, barrels. Agave and wine on the pallet. Some caramel. Unique for sure. I bought for $80. Would not pay that again. $50-60, Maybe. Many better Anejos out there. Meh.. Just ok. Will have to revisit.

Notes of oak and vanilla. Sipping añejo. Great value at $70 for a wonderful 16 month añejo.
