AMM Blind Tasting: Nose of butterscotch, cola, brown sugar and cherry with hints of sweet baking spices and cooked agave. It’s an easy sipper with notes of caramel and more of the butterscotch and cola. A bit of a funky finish. Overall pretty good.

AMM Blind. Aroma is cooked agave, caramel and light vanilla elegance. Flavor adds oak and a little Anise. The finish is sharp and sweet, but not sugary. Excellent.

  • 86 Rating

Nice aroma of dried fruit, barrel spices and agave. Flavor is super-spicy, but not complex. It’s a bit thin on the back end. Overall, easy to sip.

Heavy oak & barrel spice with agave still present on the nose. Flavor is good but on the lighter side with less agave being present, more barrel influence. Medium finish.

TMM/AMM XA Blinds Dec 2025 #1 this is light in color; the 3rd lightest of the 10 expressions. nose: barrel spice, pear? brandy? something herbal - Cardamom? Grapa? palate: barrel spice agave cardamom Finish: dry and short

Straw color this has some funk on the nose along with some medicinal alcohol and roast agave. Thin legs but a nice mouthfeel presents on sipping as the medicinal nose is brought forward. Some tongue buzz and a nice finish round out this offering.

Tasted blind with AMM: Aroma of dried fruit like raisins. Flavors follow with more dried fruit, clove, and almond. A nice medium spicy tingle with a pleasant creamy almond finish.

Not going to wow but I liked it

Agave, dried fruit and cherry on the nose and taste. A little pricey. The glass was a Chisholm Standard Proof Jarrito.

As much as I love their añejo, I will have to revisit this one and change my score. But for now I'm getting lots of leather, cigar, and a ton of sweet dark chocolate. I think this brand used to be Kosher. But detecting something not so kosher going on.

A surprising departure from their anejo. I found this extra anejo far less sweet than their anejo, and more nuanced. Although I will give Insólito’s anejo offering the edge for having a more fragrant nose, as opposed to the anejo, this XA still has an agave forward palate along with the barrel influence one would expect from an expression aged four years in new American oak. Dried fruits, caramelized sugars, vanilla, apricots and agave. A mid range finish closes out a solid new offering from Insólito!

This is the fav of the lineup from Insolito but just a bit too sweet for me.

Light, sweet aroma. Very light mouth feel. Smooth and sweet with just a hint of agave. Light finish as well.

  • 83 Rating

Aroma: An underwhelming aroma with hint of dried fruit & honey. Taste: light blend of honey, caramel, vanilla, apricot & green apple Finish: balanced medium finish with hints of apricot, raisins. Overall: Good XA but at $149 left me with taste of little more to desire.
