Aroma is nicely herbal/grassy (maybe even like cut hay). Also, a bit of citrus and anise. Flavor is full and rich - prominent anise along with cooked agave and herbs. Medium finish. This is a solid blanco. Not necessarily complex in aroma/flavor but good. 06-19-2026

Vessel: Glencairn Nose: Oak, Leather, Vanilla, Carmel, Almond, Butter, Hay Palate: Oak, Carmel, Apple, Chocolate, Butter Finish: Barrel Spice, Apple , Oak, Chocolate, Vanilla, Molasses Very soft and sweet all the way through. Has some complexity but is also approachable enough for someone who dabbles lightly.

Bottle: 131218 12:13 D.O.P, L021118TA GRACIAS Appearance: Spring pollen Nose: Cooked agave, oak, vanilla, toffee, barrel spice, dried fruit, orange peel, dates, chocolate, baking spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, apple, banana, dry earth, brine/salinity, and minerality…lighter intensity with natural sweetness Palate: Oak, tobacco, leather, chocolate, barrel spice, dried fruit, orange peel, black pepper, baking spice, cinnamon, clove, roasted nuts, almond, dry earth, cooked agave, butter, and minerality…the barrel steals the show Finish: Cinnamon, molasses, whiskey, alcohol, and roasted nuts…medium viscosity and long, warming finish Overall: This was an interesting pour. The nose is complex, but light and almost more agave forward than the reposado. Intense barrel influence follows on the palate, which feels like a sharp contrast rather than a natural transition, in a way that I find interesting and enjoyable. Similar to the reposado, I bought this on a pretty good sale…and it was worth every penny.

Nice and easy to drink. Not overly complex buy nice and buttery with the agave present. Prefer this over the blanco.
