Note: this review is for the latest release made under NOM 1535 at Destilería Morales in Arandas. It had previously been produced as a more rustic and traditional product under NOM 1097.

Tasting Notes
"If anything this version under the new NOM is fruitier and more complex than under 1097, which was more of a spice bomb. Strong flavors of vanilla, walnuts and oatmeal raisin cookies soothe the palate. A welcome balance of citrus, stewed agave, oak and grassiness cut the sweetness just enough. All of this leads to somewhat abrupt finish, but at least it goes out smooth."
