Soledad Tequila Dos Barricas

93 SCORE

“This is a double barreled Añejo from NOM 1610, not 1443. Additive free, according to the rep. Super unique, spends 15 months in new toasted American oak with no char, followed by 3 months in french oak syrah barrels from Caza Madero, one of the oldest wineries in Mexico. The syrah barrel finish adds some unique darker, almost meatier tones that I haven't tasted before. Smooth, balanced fruit-forward at the front of the palette. Special sipper.”

Lokita Tequila Añejo

90 SCORE

“Good example of a solid, traditional añejo. Warm as soon as it hits your tongue, baking spices on the palate, and of particular note is a lingering hint of ripe blackberries on the finish. As of time of writing, about $40 USD for a bottle is a steal, for a quality añejo.”
