Cambio’s cellar series anejo “El Desliz” was the favorite out of my Cambio drinkthrough. The French oak implementation is pronounced & adds an enormous amount of depth to this exceptional anejo. On the nose I found notes that I often detect in Calvados/Armagnac/Cognac. Red current, cinnamon, stewed apple, chocolate, date, prune, grape skin, raspberry jam, wildflower, banana, barrel spice, pear, flowers and black pepper. On the palate, cinnamon, vanilla, stewed apple, dark chocolate, citrus marmalade, grape jam, pepper, raspberry jam, lemon, malolactic funk, minerality, saline, and cooked agave. This is an austere sipper, one that will take time to unpack and may not be for everyone. That being said, this is the best anejo I’ve had in recent memory. I’ll be eagerly awaiting Cambio’s extra anejo. Additionally, I have found this Anejo for as low as 60$. Fantastic value

Yummy stuff. Wine influence is muted but present behind the agave upfront. 50% ABV carries a ton of sweetness and surprisingly leads to a very nice finish.

Cambio’s Reposado had a substantial amount of barrel characteristics. Although, it did take a bit to open up, I found much & more to latch onto. After a bit of teasing a delicious butterscotch candy came through on the nose & palate. In addition, I found carmel, grapeskin, plum, date, citrus, minerality, perfume, red current, mint, prune, cherry jam, saline, malolactic notes and oak spice. The finish was excellent, although slightly drying. This Reposado is unlike any tequila I have tasted thus far. The combination of the unique barrels & base distillate gives this Reposado exceedingly high marks.

Cambio’s El Corazon high proof is an experimental release where the tails & heads are discarded in favor of only the hearts off the still. Additionally, El Corazon’s mash is fermented to a higher Brix level than any previous release. I was told it’s fermented to a staggering 19 brix. The result is a far more fruity profile than the base blanco. The aromatics from this high proof blanco reminded me of a Tobala mezcal. As mentioned there is a significant amount of fruit here with crisp Fiji apple, cherry, banana, light citrus, peach and lime. Like the base blanco, there is a significant minerality to this high proof with a saline “ocean breeze” component. Long finish
