Siempre Tequila Rebel Cask - NY/NJ Agave Club

93 SCORE

“This is more than a single barrel, it represents everything good about this industry and community A tribute to one of tequilas greatest palates, Remy Newland and secondly proceeds going to the Gente Buena Foundation bringing fresh water, medical care and resources to the Jalisco tequila community. 54.5 ABV, there is not heat on the palate, dried fruit, baking spices, vanilla, caramel and cinnamon linger on and on. This will never be repeated. Intense flavor profile, with great complexity. One of the best tequilas I have the pleasure of sipping this year ”

“Of the two barrel offerings , the American barrel vs the French barrel release, I preferred the French. The American barrel had a lot of barrel notes that muted the agave. This was Sweet, and a little astringent for me. Salud ”
