San Diego Tequila and Cuisine Event

Tasted at San Diego Tequila and Cuisine event

From a bottle at least 8 years old this añejo is quite spicy in the mouth and a more aged version of the reposado. Some bitterness holds this back a bit.

I rarely comment on the visuals of a spirit, but I was surprised by this. I poured it into my glass and could see through and to the bottom. I also rarely comment on the bottle, but the shape of this bottle is very hard to pour from. Nose: Very unflattering. Has an acetone smell mixed with some fake seeming caramel notes. Quite disappointed in the nose. Palate: Incredibly hot. The alcohol hits your palate immediately and doesn't leave. This seems much higher proof than it is. There are little noticeable flavors, possibly some agave and caramel. Finish: This burns in the back of your throat going down. No new tastes emerge. This is a surprisingly not terrible experience. However, it isn't a particularly enjoyable one. I am overall quite disappointed with this tequila, especially considering what I paid for it. While in almost never do this, I may try this tequila with an ice cube to see if it makes it more drinkable and less higher proof. Side note: the bottle is terrible to pour from.

Orange peel-aroma with anise and with a hint of honey . Taste caramel, minerals, sweet . Good juice

Nose of orange bitters, oak, nuts and vanilla. Flavor of orange creamsicle, almonds, agave, vanilla and oak. Sweet lingering finish of vanilla and nuts.

Very nice aromatics, earthy minerality like petrol(or alsace Riesling) in very good way, soft holiday spice. taste follows thru & good finish with salinity.

Nose is apricot-like. Taste is caramel vanilla with very peppery cinnamon heat
