Tasting Notes
"As with all Camarena tequilas, it is varied and complex. The nose is doughy with classic vanilla and charred oak underlying notes of prunes, Turbinado sugar, and white flowers. The palate is quite bold with flavors of licorice, butterscotch, cinnamon toast and hazelnut. Despite being quite rich there is a lot of nuance found. This tequila needs nothing more than an audience and a glass. "
