TMM Blind 2025–Fairly light neutral aroma. Flavors punch with red hots and salty notes. Really surprised I marked this one so low. It got points off for price, but clearly this wasn’t my favorite lot from WC. I’ll have to revisit this one, as I am a big fan of Wild Common.

Nose: Agave jumps out first, followed by bright citrus and a grounded earthiness. There’s a layer of cracked black pepper and dry hay, with subtle anise threading through. Cinnamon adds warmth without overpowering, rounding out a familiar but well-balanced aromatic profile. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a coating texture that sits nicely on the tongue. Sweet agave forms the base, but the cinnamon dominates - bold and assertive, but not abrasive. Butteriness brings softness, while a distinct minerality lends salinity that keeps things dynamic and textured. Finish: Creamy and sweet with lingering cinnamon heat. It’s warm, smooth, and persistent in all the right ways. Final Thoughts: A classic profile executed with precision. This is a wonderful example of a quality blanco - clean, expressive, and deeply satisfying.

Well balanced anejo coming out of 1123 with great aromas and flavors that are not barrel heavy. Cooked agave is present with great complexity of barrel notes that follow the agave. Nose: cooked agave, cinnamon, vanilla, oak, black pepper, caramel, minerals, butterscotch, baking spice, and barrel spice. Palate: the nose follows through to the palate with the barrel spice picking up in the finish. A nice long finish of barrel spice that lingers with a great mouth fill. A fantastic anejo that comes at 94 proof!

Nose: First impression? Fresh out the oven agave - it’s warm, rich, and a little toasty. Sure, there’s oak and sugar in the room, but the agave still tells the story - like it just survived the barrel and came out even more itself. Then, there’s a soft drift of caramel in the background. You’ll catch hints of stewed orchard fruit - think baked apple or poached pear, before a pop of orange zest lifts it all up. There’s a bit of vanilla too, but it’s subtle. Palate & Mouthfeel: The cooked agave stays at the center, with its earthy sweet backbone holding firm. Around it swirl notes of light caramel, roasted fruit, and citrus peel, all softened just enough by the bourbon barrels to feel plush but never overdone. The higher proof gives it a little spark - just enough heat to make you pay attention, without turning the whole thing into a dare. It sips bigger than most reposados, but not heavier. Finish: Clean, warm, and gently spiced. The fruit and caramel taper off, but the agave hangs on, like it should. A faint flavor oak shows up late, just enough to remind you this spent some time in a barrel. Final Notes: This is not your typical sleepy, overly oaked reposado. Chava gives us a blend of traditional tahona and roller mill that’s clearly built for flavor.
