Nose: Agave anchors everything here, but it’s elevated by layers of vanilla and caramel that feel deep and fully developed rather than sweet for sweetness’ sake. Chocolate adds richness, oak brings quiet authority, and the spice, (black pepper and cinnamon), rises slowly, warming the nose and setting a serious tone. It’s expressive and immediately pulls you in. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, slick, and oily, coating the palate with intention. Agave and oak arrive first, then expand into caramel and creamy vanilla that feel luxurious. Cinnamon drives with real presence, backed by black pepper and a touch of burnt sugar that adds depth. Nothing feels rushed or overstated - every flavor knows exactly when to show up and when to step back. Finish: The finish is long and composed. Barrel spice and cinnamon linger, softened by creamy vanilla, while agave stays present all the way through. It fades slowly, leaving warmth and clarity. Final Thoughts: This is an extra añejo that demands attention. It’s thoughtful, layered, and emotionally engaging without ever drifting into excess. For me, this sits at the very top…an XA that delivers both intellect and feeling, and one I won’t forget anytime soon. If you’re fortunate enough to try it, you’ll understand immediately why it stands apart.

Nose: Carmel, Oak, Agave, Butterscotch Cinnamon Black pepper Mouthfeel : Light - bodied Palate: Nutmeg, alcohol, Carmel Black pepper, raisin Finish: Carmel, toffee, raw agave ( I dont typically pick up on this on the finish) Black Pepper Im limited in my experience with Siembra Azul. This is balanced. I feel like Im getting maybe more oak than other flavors bit I feel that otherwise, I'm getting a lot of flavors without any single one overpowering the others.

June 10, 2023 Absolutely delicious tequila very well balanced - oak, agave, caramel. so easy to sip. David Suro does it again! special thanks to seattle juan for sharing and for picking us up a bottle.

Butterscotch cookies all day, this is entirely delicious and makes you wanna drink it by the gallon. Not a ton of roasted agave left in there but it’s a successful marriage of a great Blanco and a ton of barrel manipulation.

Cost is the only thing that drags this beautiful XA tequila's rating down. Edited to say that this is still an A Plus XA. Opened a recently found bottle of this from 2013 and for what was paid at WA retail and current secondary the juice is a real bargain.

Nose. Slight cooked agave. Butterscotch oak. Honey Butterscotch and agave. Toffee Nice long finish. Little white pepper.

I’m typically a Blanco drinker, but this is possibly my favorite XA. Perfect blend of Oak and agave… strong Caramel notes with hints of chocolate, vanilla and butterscotch. Very well balanced on the tongue that works perfectly together. Nice finish. I wish this was still around so I could buy another bottle.

Lovely sweet brunt caramel aroma. A bit of orange hints. bourbon taste first, not as sweet as expected. Nice clean finish. Medium body. Dark fruits - prunes, raisins

Bourbon notes

Sweet caramel nose. Round taste, lots of sugar. Bit of oak and agave. Smooth finish.

Lots of rich chocolate notes, with hints of caramel and nuts with oaky finish Long smooth finish

Whiskey forward Smoky finish

one of my all time favourite tequilas. lots of oak, vanilla, and some caramel sweetness. extra point for being verified additive free

spicy one. sips like a whiskey with agave, some oak, and caramel notes

Great stuff with strong agave flavor alongside caramel, chocolate, herbs, pepper, grassy, pineapple, a little smoke, freshwater, mint, citrus.

Smokey, clean, sharp flavor

this is definately an extra anejo from start to finish. agave flavor gets lost but still smooth flavor, nice nose, bold finish

Aromas of peach, oak and agave. When left to air notes of ripe melon as well. Initial taste is agave, oak, melon and hints of caramel. Finishes with notes of agave, butterscotch and custard. So so good. Very smooth and Complex. Had to put the bottle away so I wouldn't drink it all

aroma : pepper agave and oak some spices taste : peppery with wood not unpleasant finish medium finish not as oily as I would like pepper linger pretty good a bit on the pricey side wouldn't mind drinkn again but not full price
