Wild Common Anejo Lote 1: 23 barrels, buff trace, 14 months, barreled at cask strength @ 48% (angles share brought it to 47.4), #4 Char Sweet Orchard fruit like baked apple but also has some orange notes, cinnamon & honey with some sweet barrel notes. Caramel, vanilla, brown sugar. Great balance, a good punch of cooked agave. 47.4 ABV Horno cooked at NOM 1123 Deep well water This is a combination of Tahona and roller mill, S/S Fermentation with fibers and cement fermentation without fibers s/s and copper distillation. Absolutely delicious. Lote 2 will be Weller’s!!!!
Aged 1123 expressions are some of my favorites and this one is no different! Exceptional expression from Wild Common, proof is awesome on this and the mouthfeel and texture is phenomenal!
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.
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!
