“Creamy and buttery, as it opens more flavors come out the Chardonnay barrel is def there. Sweet cooked agave, cinnamon, flan like, tropical with some hints of pineapple as well. Very easy to drink with minimal heat. The price is excellent as well I paid 47.99. For me I think the sweet spot is at 42.5% the blanco and this one are really good!”
