Nose: Cooked agave is front and center, followed by caramel and oak. Crème brûlée sweetness comes through, balanced by citrus lift and a bit of cinnamon. As it opens, pitted fruit adds depth, giving the nose a rounded, lightly toasted character. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium full on the palate with good weight. Sweet agave lands first, quickly met by assertive cinnamon and black pepper. The bourbon barrel influence is clear - vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak - but it doesn’t drown the core. Citrus and pitted fruit cut through, keeping things lively and preventing the sweetness from lingering too long. Finish: Black pepper and barrel spice carry through, gradually softening as a bright orange note emerges. The citrus sweetness hangs on just long enough to freshen the close. Final Thoughts: This leans more into bourbon barrel character than I typically enjoy, but the higher proof does real work here. Agave stays clearly defined, and that pop of citrus keeps it feeling like tequila rather than drifting too far into whiskey territory. Not my usual lane, but surprisingly, I liked it. It was well executed and enjoyable.

Gorgeous nose. Agave, vanilla and caramel. Not heavy on the barrel. Tasted at the distillery. Great initial palate. More barrel on the plate than the nose. This is tasty and well worth space in n the shelf.

vegetal nose with some pepper. Bitterness on the palate. I dig it though
