Tasting Notes
"As soon as the bouquet begins to open in the glass, it becomes obvious that this tequila is going to be interesting. Notes of baked pears, flan, sweet potato casserole, honeysuckle, white pepper and cooked agave are all evident. On the palate, this is a light-bodied, slightly-oily añejo that leans towards the sweet side. More sweet potato and cooked agave, with big caramel notes, hints of strawberry jam, milk chocolate and pear tart flavors appear. At the finish, a slightly herbal note with hints of mint and lemon balm appear, along with more pepper, caramel and, at last, just the slightest whisper of oak. With an attractive price point, and a rich, satisfying flavor profile, this is a great tequila option to sip in place of single malt Scotch whisky or cognac."
