By far my favorite from the Mundial line up. Great balance between agave and bourbon notes! So easy to drink!
Nose: Sweet aroma including agave, caramel, chocolate, sweet melon, pineapple Palate: Very soft oak presence for an XA.. El Tesoro is really showcasing the agave profile in this extra añejo expression leading to a wonderful balance. Think vanilla, caramel, cooked agave, crème brûlée, and a touch vegetal. Finish: Clean and lingering. A lot of minerality and raw agave. Overall a wonderful expression of an XA. A true enthusiast extra añejo showcasing the original agave spirit and not overdoing the barrel influence. Quality bottle, only downside being recent price increases. Batch: A-019
Nose The aroma opens with a subtle hint of cooked agave, layered with rich notes of caramel, vanilla, and cinnamon. There’s a woody oak presence, complemented by cherry and a general fruity sweetness. Palate On the palate, cooked agave takes center stage, balanced by smooth caramel, vanilla, and cinnamon. Oak adds depth, while cherry shines through, with a lighter fruity undertone. Finish The finish lingers with warming oak and cinnamon, fading into subtle cherry and vanilla, leaving a soft, caramel sweet aftertaste. For me, it was too fruity, and the price point lowered my score. If you’re into fruit flavors, then you’ll probably enjoy this one. I personally wouldn’t buy this bottle again due to the high price point but would gladly drink it if I saw it at a bar.

The first notes are agave and a bit of vanilla with oak and some pepper and cloves. The taste is oak, vanilla, cooked agave, black pepper and some earthiness. Has a nice finish but doesn’t linger long with some vegetal and vanilla, and oak tannins that linger the longest. Overall: 83 because it has a nice balance of agave with some interesting barrel notes!
