A little bit of caramel and vanilla, but just a hint, come first and are followed by the agave and the citrus flavors. It happens unfortunately quickly, almost like everything trying to walk through the door at the same time. I expect more from my anejo tequila and this frankly doesn’t deliver.
Roasted and stewed agave flavors mix in with chocolate malt, vanilla, caramel and cinnamon, reminiscent of a Mexican hot chocolate. Hot chili spices and spearmint play into the finish, which is long and sweet.
Creamy, nutty, baked aromas and flavors of creme brulee, pecan, apricot, and cherry chocolate candy. A mellow, round, wood-accented añejo for contemplative sipping.
There’s a real Cognac character to this tequila, lush on the nose with notes of coffee, herb butter, and some raisiny fruit notes. The palate follows along in stride, showcasing a rolling sweetness, more dark fruit, some stewed prunes, and a thick layer of spice before finally revealing some of the agave-driven herbal elements underneath.
