Pepper, rich vanilla wood, spice, herbal notes. It's quite tasty and rich. A very good tequila. It has a bit of a Glenfarclas character to it with the rich tannins. There are hints of coconut and something vegetal but not overwhelming. It definitely tastes like anejo tequila mixed with Glenfarclas. The complexity is terrific with nice richness. There's a fair amount of spice but it is well within a reasonable range. The flavor is delightful. It has kind of a white pepper element going on, but there are also hints of tropical fruit. There's some mint too. It's very different from the 9 but good in its own way. This is somewhere between an 18 and a 19.
