Vanilla and caramel notes you get in most whiskey in the beginning with the agave coning later. In general mostly light caramel, vanilla, roasted agave, lime, hay, then when the finish comes heavier oak, hay, cinnamon and mineral. this is a strange agave spirit for sure. Not bad but not as standard as the normal mexican tequila. There is some obvious bourbon notes from tbe barrel but they arent overtly intense and i personally enjoyed the higher proof. Maybe not everyones cup ot tea but i enjoyed the bottles thoughly.
