Good barrel nose on this anejo with a well balanced agave and barrel flavors. Nose: cooked agave, vanilla, caramel, butterscotch, oak, and butter. Palate: cooked agave, black pepper, butterscotch, caramel, and some oak. Not a complex anejo by any means but really easy and enjoyable to sip.
Nice nose. Sweet agave, vanilla and caramel. Fruity. The palate on this one is better than the blanco and repo. The balance is better. Sweet agave and barrel notes.
High-proof tequilas, once only for hardcore drinkers, are now being released at a steady pace. Why?
An estimated 70 percent of all tequila contains undisclosed additives, like vanilla extract and aspartame. One couple is on a mission to change that.
“We went to Tequila and I tried 100 percent agave tequila for the first time — it just blew my mind,” recalls Hagar.
Stars are following in the footsteps of George Clooney's hit with Casamigos, and the spirit may not be better for it.
Lou goes through all of the products from Santo Fino, including the newest reposado.
Is this a trend that’s driven purely by financial incentives, whether to cash in like Clooney and company, or to profit from America’s increasing appreciation of the spirit?
On the nose, vibrant, bright, and sweet lime citrus blends with a punch of black pepper and cooked agave. The aroma also has some light herbal notes of sage and basil, a light salinity, and some vegetal notes. On the palate, a potent hit of citrus, vegetal notes, black pepper, and light sage (very similar to the aroma) yet somehow drinks light and crisp despite the higher proof. The finish is a continuation of the flavor profile, with some added notes of salinity and a nice dose of citrus, sage, and black pepper.
