The agave plant plays a huge role in act one; it's almost like sipping the plant itself when suddenly the sweetness- subtle at first- kicks in. Like big brother, El Mayor Extra Anejo, the spice and heat are driving forces. If you enjoy earthy, sweet, heat in a blanco... you'll enjoy this for sipping. Good price point and in the final act, it's an award winner... San Francisco World Spirits Competition GOLD MEDAL 2016.
