Lovely fruity aroma with orange, oak, caramel, and cloves. Flavors of stewed apples, oranges, cinnamon, oak, and caramel. Finish has a lingering black pepper zing with a touch of smoky oak. It’s barrel forward but full of flavor. For under $50 this is approachable for dark añejo lovers.
Sampled at Binny’s All Things Agave, June 2026. Very soft profile, easy drinker. Decent price point at 39.99 by me.
