It smells rich and butterscotch like a great scotch. The palate is less creamy and more minty than expected, a little like Arta Anejo. There is more would than expected, but the maltiness does come out with some nice smooth cinnamon mixed with toasted wood giving it a flavor of butterscotch that broaches toffee. It's a clean scotch profile somehow. I appreciate the apple flavor too that reassures me that it is scotch. It has this kind of bourbon element that reminds me of Glenfiddich 14 or maybe Compass Box Spice Tree. It's quite tasty, but I do think I like the Reposado a tad better.i do appreciate how the tequila elements interact in an interesting fashion, but the flavor is still not exceptional.
