Tasting Notes
"The oak flavors are somewhat heavy, but still allow the essence of agave to rise to the surface. Caramel, vanilla and milk chocolate mingle with golden pear, orange and lime zest. Warm and hot spices from the oak swing back into the finish, ending with a pop of mint. This is a richer style of reposado than most, but with good authenticity of agave flavor."
