Lou cracks open a treasure bottle with his friend Warren.
Nose: The aroma balances fresh agave with rich whiskey notes, accented by ripe stone fruit and bright orange zest. Barrel spice subtly threads through, adding warmth without dominating, crafting an inviting and layered bouquet. Palate & Mouthfeel: A medium full mouthfeel delivers a sweet agave presence alongside whiskey warmth and oak tannins. Caramel and vanilla soften the edges, while baking spices - particularly cinnamon, emerge to deepen the complexity. Stone fruit ripens alongside an earthy foundation, giving the profile depth and harmony. Finish: The finish unfolds long and warm, leaving behind a sweet trail that reflects the barrel influence while remaining well balanced and smooth. Final Thoughts: Though labeled as an Añejo, this is actually a true XA (aged 3 years), offering remarkable complexity and value. It leans into the sweeter, whiskey inspired barrel notes without losing the agave’s essence. A beautifully nuanced pour that I genuinely appreciate.
