Tasting Notes
"Though this spirit is at a considerable age for a tequila, the aromas wafting from the glass still have the youthful exuberance of fresh agave, with a hint of brown sugar. The palate is a mouth-watering mix of vanilla, stewed agave and cinnamon with toasty oak flavors, orange zest and dill. An intriguing note of sesame adds a richness that tastes a bit like halvah candy, yet it never feels too heavy or weighed down. Though most would reach for this as an after-dinner drink, it's still light enough to enjoy as an aperitif. "
