This Siempre profile is leaning towards cognac drinkers with a barrel forward influence. Prominent notes are dried fruits (fig, raisins, plum), leather along with subtle rancio notes, plum sweetness, amontillado sherry wine nuances, with hazelnut/nutty notes . Love what Siempre is doing with their Rebel cask program

Smells like those cinnamon coated nuts you get at a fair. In a good way. French oak barrels very distinctive on this tequila. Cinnamon. Nuts. Baking spice. Cooked agave. Long finish. Not as harmonious as would be ideal but a very solid expression overall.

Another interesting project that starts with Supremo blanco which is already tahona crushed and fermented with fibers to deliver a punch of flavor. The blanco is earthy and briney to begin with, so the Reposados take that on in a way that’s fairly different from most. This one delivers wet earth, leather, oak, and black cherry. It’s also much darker than the other barrels.
