Sweet aroma, sticky to the touch, packs a bit of heat on the finish, odd profile for 1414
Cayeya Reposado The nose opens with minerality, earthy notes, fermentation character, and a touch of cinnamon sugar. There is plenty happening in the glass, with the agave and natural character of the tequila remaining front and center. On the palate, baking spice, cinnamon, pepper, and agave sweetness come together over a slightly thicker, oily texture. The barrel influence is noticeable but remains balanced, adding oak and structure without overwhelming the tequila itself. The finish is warm and easy-going with lingering fermentation notes and a touch of oak that stays present without becoming heavy. The overall profile remains agave-forward while benefiting from the added complexity of barrel aging. A flavorful reposado that balances earthiness, spice, texture, and agave character while staying true to its roots
