Amatiteña blanco lote 2 - 42abv Sample from Brad Ruppel Agave Swappers Nose: nice, smoke, mint, minerality, pepper and some earthiness. Palate: agave, smoke and pepper are the predominant flavors im getting Finish: smoke and pepper with some nice heat Overall: nice sipper. Im not usually a fan of smoke. But Amatitena does a good job with it

Whoa, lots of interesting things going on here. This is a fun XA. Butter caramel, cinnamon, oak, cherry dried fruit, orange, peel, leather, tobacco, and smoke are all present in the aroma. Super complex. Dried fruit, cherry, leather and caramel are in the flavor. The finish is buttery, smoky, and leathery. This is definitely a unique extra añejo.

Super smokey and fruity lots of orange on the palet along with a nice minerality. A solid Tequila with a different flavor profile.

Definitely a fan if this brand. However, I am only familiar with the blancos. This is my first aged expression from Amatiteña. The nose is tobacco, agave, smoke, bubble gum. On the palate, sweet and smoky. Caramel and light barrel spices. Great finish with sweetness permeating the mouth. This is what I would imagine from an XA from this brand. An absolute buy for me.

Had at a tasting event Quick notes : I started as a Scotch drinker and this is reminiscent of barrel notes I would get in some Speyside highland scotches. Agave, vanilla, bell pepper, oak. Not overly complex but nostalgic. Buttery mouthfeel that extends to a salted honey-butter finish. Really digging this, would like to revisit and give it a bit of time to open.
