Tasting Notes
"The nose isn't really strong, but you'll get a cookie dough profile with light vanilla, cinnamon and a moderate amount of vegetal agave. The tequila feels fairly full on the palate and feels a bit slick. The finish is really where you can find some of the oak flavors, particularly a raw oak taste with some medium char notes. The vegetal agave is still present, but less intense than the vanilla. That said, there's still a bit of bitter flavors here so don't expect a dessert style tequila. "
