Tasting Notes
"The aroma of the tequila is sweet and spicy with vanilla, milk chocolate, oak and just a hint of the fortified wine notes and maybe a slight smoke. The body is average, not super creamy and is a little scratchy with tannins. Vegetal agave notes pop up here and there and the finish is warm and bittersweet. Serve it on the rocks and enjoy it as an end to your meal."
