Tasting Notes
"Barrels used here definitely have influenced the tequila with added barrel spices, but it's more like a 3 on a scale of 10 -- not overpowering, but present. There's also a touch of tropical fruits, cashews, and milk chocolate enhancing the flavors of herbaceous agave. It has both a sweetness and a savoriness in equal measure. It's one that makes you go back to it to see what else you can find. Definitely not the same old sweet vanilla notes that you see in most aged tequilas which is a win in my book."
