TMM/AMM XA Blinds Dec 2025 #6 Light in color Nose: first off I get apple cider! Barrel spice On the high nose; possibly raspberries, an herbal note, some tropical/banana and some funk (malolactic). As it sat, I got honey, caramel, vanilla as well Palate: is familiar = apple and cloves! Vanilla caramel a cooked agave sugars come thru with mild oak influences and back to apples on the finish Finish: medium length and a nice spicy heat
tasted blind with 9 other Extra Añejo of various ABV. Pale gold in color this is very aromatic as poured. Sweet on entry this has a nice balance in the mouth with flavors of roast agave, barrel spice and a short fading finish.
Tasted blind with AMM: Citrus aromas of orange and lemon. Flavors of orange and cinnamon. Mouthfeel is very creamy, too viscous for my preference.
Panel members responded with honest and detailed tasting notes that ended up revealing some interesting trends. Let’s get into it.
AMM Blind Tasting: Nose is buttery with hints of burnt caramel, toffee, brown sugar, sweet baked bread. A nice color (med-brown) with some cooked agave and wood. Palate is medium bodied with decent heat, woody (dry) with hints of toffee and chocolate. Not overly complex. A nice, easy drinking finish with some hints of vanilla.
