Tasting Notes
"The aroma from the tequila is wonderfully complex with a mix of cedary wood, ripe agaves, barrel spices, a touch of vanilla, some caramel and a mix of wildflowers. The flavors on the palate move to a darker profile, and while the oak barrels are dominant, there is still an herbal/vegetal agave note to be found. Finish has a charred oak quality which enhances the peppery agave notes adding another layer of complexity. A mature tequila with gravitas which leans more herbal and spicy than sweet and dessert-like. Serve neat."
