Fruity with a lot of complexity. Caramel, oak, baking spice and citrus overtones. Alot to like in this one
Vessel: Glencairn glass Nose: agave, oak, butter, butterscotch cinnamon, baking spices Palate: vanilla, oak, cinnamon, toffee, dried fruit, barrel notes Finish: toffee, butter, agave, barrel spice I tried this number 9 Anejo and the number 9 XA tonight in the same evening. In comparison, this one seems to hit the sweet spot on the barrel notes for me. This is a win!
Pepper, Oak, Barrel Spice, Vanilla, Toffee, Honey, Tobacco.. It's all there. Barrel forward is what you might be expecting from any XA but this seems a more on the extreme level of the spectrum. It's intense and complex, but perhaps a a bit Barrel forward for my personal taste.

It’s been barely a decade since Cazcanes Tequila was founded by a passionate trio of agave enthusiasts. But the brand has already established itself as one of the best-selling craft labels in the game.
Tequilas aged in wine casks have become trendy recently, as producers play with different barrel influences. But “Rosa” tequilas, like “cristalino”, aren’t an official category.

High-proof tequilas, once only for hardcore drinkers, are now being released at a steady pace. Why?
While aficionados tend to prefer blanco tequilas, and imbibers of dark spirits usually gravitate towards añejos, the reposado category is often overlooked.

There’s some dried grass, some funky agave, some citrus and a bunch of earth on the aroma. After it opens up for a while, a whole bunch of cinnamon comes out, which is nice. There’s a lot of agave in the flavor though, and it’s pretty thick and coating in the mouth. A nice blend of cooked agave and vanilla on the tongue and in the finish as it fades. The finish on this is my favorite part.
