The lote (lot/batch) under review is #L-A09042210.  I’ve used Denver & Liely Mezcal glasses for multiple tastings over two months. COLOR: Gold (slightly darker than the brand’s reposado) AROMA PROFILE: Fascinating mix of a lightly peated scotch single malt with earthy cooked & musky raw agave, fresh herbs, vegetal/grassy notes (roasted chili pepper), light baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves), black pepper, roasted nuts, vanilla, very light caramel, & some floral notes. PALATE: Cooked & musky raw agave mixed with lightly peated scotch single malt with a light smokiness, roasted nuts, oak/barrel notes, honeyed orchard fruits (apricot & pear), caramel & vanilla, a kick of black pepper & baking spices (same as the nose), creamy milk chocolate with chili peppers, orange peel, some salinity, & some oak tannins, anise, & spiced honey on the finish. MOUTHFEEL: Medium viscosity in the glass & a medium creamy mouthfeel FINISH: 9 seconds

In my glass: Storywood Tequila Añejo Speyside 14 is aged for 14 months in American oak barrels which were originally used for Speyside single malt Scotch Whiskey … nice blend of earthy agave and oak whiskey … it’s got a salty nutty oak finish with some vanilla hanging around. I hear there is a Storywood 48 coming out!

Had at Elijah’s.

Aroma is crisp agave Taste is strong agave with hints of pepper Finish tickles nose and warms chest

The nose is heavy on the oak and cooked agave. Similarly, the oak and agave hit strong on the flavor up front, with a real nice smokey finish with maybe the slightest hint of anise.

Nutty, soft fruit flavour and a lingering toasted pinhead oat and Demerara sugar finish

This has a slightly different, richer mouth feel than the 7. Lovely!
