Tequila El Mayor Añejo

An elegant, 100% Blue Agave Tequila aged for 2 years in first-fill white oak casks, by Destiladora González González in Jalisco, Mexico for Luxco. It has a delicate birth with notes of caramel, ripe pear & a hint of wood; while a juicy life adds notes of grilled squash, mango, honey, pepper & oak; that leads to a light & rich death with hints of agave, vanilla, fruit, smoke & cream.

Harsher than I expected but good agave flsvor with wood and light smoke in the background.

$26.99, $28.64 with tax. Ash, agave, caramel, toasted bananas, orange, chocolate, tobacco.

Didnt love the nose. Its on the herbal side. The flavors however im really appreciating. Good oak note. Pepper, caramel, and some good sweetness underneath.

New to trying different tequilas, this was just enough of the “tequila” taste, along with a what id think if a “wood” flavor. I enjoyed drinking this with both lime and strawberry mixer, and even with rasverry lemonade and a little tripple seq.
