Wild Common Tequila Añejo

93 SCORE

“Got that rush of Cascahuin on the nose, but that quickly fades into some pleasant and not overpowering barrel notes. That signature Cascahuin flavor comes first on the palate followed by notes of crème brûlée, toasted hazelnuts, freshly grated cinnamon, and vanilla. It finishes again with some of those typical Cascahuin with some extra earthiness and a touch of spice. This tequila absolutely destroys for the price. Congrats to Andy, Chava, and everyone who was involved in this project. ”

“I really like this repo. It’s on that softer side, I find a lot of repos pull too much spice from the barrel… this one not that much. ”

“What first got me is that this is a more vegetive option from 1414. Really solid offering, there’s agave but it’s not super sweet, more minty and minerally. I like the high proof a tad better. ”

Volcan de Mi Tierra Reposado

“Definitely a sweeter repo, thank goodness it’s additive free. Got notes of toasted pineapple, candied orange, some “floral agave”, and vanilla on the nose. On the palate more of that brighter but sweet agave with vanilla, caramel, candied orange, a little overripe melon, cinnamon, and even a little cardamom. As someone who does have a sweet tooth from time to time this is a no brainer because you’re still getting that agave, it’s well made, and it’s additive free. ”
