I won this bottle in a tequila lottery, and it does not disappoint.
On the nose I get floral notes and some vanilla, maybe a whiff of charcoal and caramel cream candies. Perhaps some wet gravel.
The palate is very rich. I get vanilla, honey, wild flowers, caramel, barrel wood, barrel char, citrus juice, lemon peel, caramelized agave. I also get a bit of salt. It really has an excellent mouthfeel and a long finish - I get waves of sweet melon and honey wrestling with tart citrus that seem to be fighting each other - a very slight edge of anise, charcoal, and salt. It really lingers and all the flavors seem to ebb and flow like the surf. It has just a bit of smoke, but I wouldn't consider it smokey, then again I drink very heavily peated scotch, so take my assessment of smoke with a grain of salt.
There is really a lot here, and it's all very pleasant. A tequila lover's dream, but also something not to be missed by lovers of other fine spirits.
