Nose smells like you’re sitting by the fire. I can appreciate the uniqueness of this expression. Agave present along with their signature earth pit influence. Palate is solid and simple as a barrel forward XA. Gotta be in the mood for this one but if you are, it hits just right. Very well made and nice to add variety to your XA collection.

Had this in the XA blind. I had never had it but knew what it was immediately due to the smokiness from the rest of the lineup. I really enjoyed it. Alberto is a great dude and when he wants, knows how to make legit tequila. This brand is proof of it.

Aroma is smoky with oak, cinnamon, and dates. Rich flavor with charred oak and spices, yum. Long spiced finish.

AMM XA Blind Tasting: Aroma has wood/camp fire notes right up front. Lots of cooked agave, peat, black pepper and cocoa. Med-brown color. Palate had a lot of wood (French oak?) with some smoke and fire pit Mezcal hints. Some chocolate. Has a"green" funk to it especially for the color. A nice peppery, camp fire finish. This one was pretty complex. Kind of wild and a standout in a bunch of quality XA’s

This is the perfect Mezcal starter kit, smoke & vegetal notes are front and centre. Once you get past the obvious flavours, it is surprisingly gentle with almond & brown sugar. Soft and short ending, which is difficult to execute with this profile. Overall I applaud the effort, this is unique and worth buying a bottle.

Rich aromas include earthiness, smoke, clay, fruit, fresh tobacco and wood. The nose gets more magnificent as it opens up. Those aromas transfer nicely to the palate. The finish lingers with a subtle spice, begging for another sip. This is truly a lovely XA!

Barrel spice, cinnamon and agave aroma. Pitted fruit, nutmeg flavor. Light peppery finish.
