Fruity with a lot of complexity. Caramel, oak, baking spice and citrus overtones. Alot to like in this one
Vessel: Glencairn glass Nose: agave, oak, butter, butterscotch cinnamon, baking spices Palate: vanilla, oak, cinnamon, toffee, dried fruit, barrel notes Finish: toffee, butter, agave, barrel spice I tried this number 9 Anejo and the number 9 XA tonight in the same evening. In comparison, this one seems to hit the sweet spot on the barrel notes for me. This is a win!
Pepper, Oak, Barrel Spice, Vanilla, Toffee, Honey, Tobacco.. It's all there. Barrel forward is what you might be expecting from any XA but this seems a more on the extreme level of the spectrum. It's intense and complex, but perhaps a a bit Barrel forward for my personal taste.
Glass: Glencairn Nose: Vanilla, oak, maple, caramel, butterscotch, honey, butter, and cherry. Palate: Cinnamon, oak, nutmeg, pepper, almond, and coconut. Finish: Butterscotch, oak, cinnamon, vanilla, and macadamia nut. It’s a delicious pour; layered with a smooth transition into a sweeter, nuttier finish. Just a supremely solid sip all around, this won't me over more than I thought it would gor a number 7 (40%) offering.

Panel members responded with honest and detailed tasting notes that ended up revealing some interesting trends. Let’s get into it.
It’s been barely a decade since Cazcanes Tequila was founded by a passionate trio of agave enthusiasts. But the brand has already established itself as one of the best-selling craft labels in the game.
Tequilas aged in wine casks have become trendy recently, as producers play with different barrel influences. But “Rosa” tequilas, like “cristalino”, aren’t an official category.

High-proof tequilas, once only for hardcore drinkers, are now being released at a steady pace. Why?
While aficionados tend to prefer blanco tequilas, and imbibers of dark spirits usually gravitate towards añejos, the reposado category is often overlooked.
