Taste: sweet cooked agave, dried fruits, wet stone minerality, light oak Finishes with dried fruits, minerals, and spices
Plenty of barrel notes while fruity and maintaining the agave notes. Really good
Tried at Aurora Tequila Fest. Very good. Lots of agave and light hints of oak, and vanilla. Some fruits come through as well. Nice mouth feel with a great proof. Loses a few points on value.
Sample Pour. This was very tasty

As we begin a new month, we like to recap the bottles we poured on repeat from the month before.
Aromas of dried fruit, cherry, raisin, hazelnut, and butter. Quite nice aroma, actually. Flavors of barrel spice, peach, butter and assorted roasted nuts. It's got a LONG long finish, which is enjoyable, but I just wish there was more agave here. The barrel notes are a little too dominant, but it's still an excellent spirit.
