I am genuinely shocked by this pour. The blanco was good but this really steps it up a notch. Aroma: 24/25 Reminds me a lot of Siete Leguas Anejo which I absolutely love. A sweet lemon vanilla oak with a cooling effect. Perfectly ripe red fruits like raspberry then start to emerge. Almost a juicy quality. I really like this nose! Palate: 27/30 The aroma follows suit on the palate. Sweet lemon vanilla oak with a juicy raspberry sitting underneath. Starting to remind me of the monte blanc fragrance Individuel in the best way possible. Finish: 22/25 The oak really starts to open up on the backend. No warmth like the blanco, more of an oak cask with some smashed up raspberries. Value: 9/10 $40 at my local liquor store. Wild value.

This is an interesting pour. The more I sit with it the more I enjoy it. Continues to grow on me even after sitting with it for more than an hour. Aroma: 22/25 Noticeably thick, heavy, and viscous. Initially it is like a mellow lemon dipped in sugar and coated with freshly cut grass. Clean and fresh. Not as much cooked agave presence as I was hoping for at first but the more it opens up, the more agave comes out. Palate: 26/30 Sweet white pepper in the front palate. Soon followed by a lemon citrus with undertones of asparagus and baking spice. Silky smooth mouth feel. Almost a hint of vanilla bean. Finish: 22/25 Surprisingly long for a 40%er with a pleasant warmth to it. Like sitting next to a warm fire pit kind of warmth rather than ethanol burn. Mild tingle on the tip of my tongue. Value: 8/10 $33 at my local liquor store in San Francisco. I can’t imagine anyone complaining about this value. Great process, additive free, and at a fair price. Other: Very easy to pour without any dripping which is surprisingly rare these days. This will be one I’ll revisit and refine my rating.

Nose is tropical fruit. Palette is banana and caramelized baking spices. Nice mouth feel.

Flavor is awesome. Complexity was average, and the finish was short. Still a really good blanco. Would definitely order this at a restaurant if they had it!

Medium amber in the glass, darker than many repos out these days. That could be from the combination of barrel types used. Aroma of cooked agave, caramel, cinnamon, oak and barrel spice. Flavor of cooked agave, black pepper, caramel, cinnamon, oak and a hint of butter. Medium-long finish.
