Agave, caramel, butterscotch, cement, oak and a wee-bit of cream-soda on the nose. Pale, wheat/straw color in the glass. Medium, silky mouthfeel. Agave, vanilla, caramel, dark chocolate, orange peel and peppery spices on the palate, with an oak and light smoky character. The whiskey-influence definitely comes through, but not so much that it overtakes the primary, tequila quality. Complex and well balanced. Finish is long with just enough spice to keep it interesting. Very nice sipper.
Nose: Agave/Butterscotch/Carmel/Oak Mouthfeel: light to medium bodied very impressionable Flavor/Finish Carmel and Agave all the way through. The sweetness on the end finishes from butterscotch back to Carmel with a bit of hay. this is incredibly smooth on the end!
Aroma: sweet, caramel, oak Taste: up front agave, pepper, oak, Finish: smooth, warm
Pepper and Spice.
Lote A-001-KCR Bottled 8/24/23. Aged in Knob Creek Straight rye barrels. nice spicy aroma with lots of rye and oak. Flavor of cooked agave comes through nicely. Well balanced Anejo delivering on the Knob Creek character yet retaining the great La Alteña tradition.
Good smoke and spice, long finish.
Nice barrel nose but not a fan of the palate. Bitterness on the palate and finish
