This smells more bitter and minty than Herencia Mexicana Extra Anejo. The palate is sweet and quite minty with some mild caramel, mint, and smokey chocolate. It's tasty and kind of rich in a bitter way, but it doesn't have that fullness of flavor that is to be expected of an extra anejo. That smoke reminds me a lot of a scotch and it does have some mineral elements to back it up. The fruit is more generically rich and unpunchy (though not dark fruit) than is typical of tequila. I like the richness, but I wish it had more complexity. The chocolate elements are nice as a backing. The bits of mint are not much like spearmint and are more subdued than in many tequilas. It's a nice sipper and the complexity is decent, but it isn't one of those masterpieces that makes me wonder it all day and it does have some notes that don't land successfully.
