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.

TMM/AMM XA Blinds Dec 2025 #10 one of the darkest in color. This one needs to really sit and open to get past the smokiness. nose: smokey (like from an earthen pit/direct flame cooking method) barrel spice. The smokiness is a bit more than I prefer. palate: once you get past the smokiness, the sweetness and barrel spice come thru with some chocolate notes that pop up towards the finish Finish: smokey sweet and dry

tasted blind with 9 other Extra Añejo of various ABV. Medium amber in color this juice leaves nice tears in the glass when swirled. Some acrid notes, burnt wood, new barrel char. Sweet on entry, yet with a ton of agave and that char. Holding it in the mouth for a minute leads to some chewiness that usually manifests in Blanco for me. Finish is a little short but overall this is nicely done.

Tasted blind with AMM: Earthy, leather, light smoke aromas. Flavors of earthy, cherry, tobacco, and burnt caramel.
