Not many products aged or finished in Mizunara oak, an ET Mundial ($$$$) is one. Quite light in color but quite aromatic in a Buffalo Trace Small Batch collection whiskey glass. Very light and mild on the palate this has a nice oak presence along with agave from the base distillate. The 44% ABV really gives this a kick on the back end leaving the tongue with a great tingle.

Nose is agave, pepper, decent, Pallet is thin & bitter, some sweet notes

The nose on this is really nice. Fruity, apricot, agave, The palate is a let down for me. I really thought this would blow me away. It good but thin and slightly bitter.

This limited-edition Añejo tequila was aged in French oak for 18.5 months and bottled at 44% ABV (88°). The casks once held apple brandy (Calvados) made with 200+ varieties of apples and pears from the area in and near Normandy. The most present scents are barrel spices, natural sweetness akin to raw honey and cooked agave, and some alcohol. More specifically I’m getting cinnamon, baked apples and pears and wood tannins. This is like an alcohol version of a cobbler. The sweetness and spice hit simultaneously while the alcohol provides the intensity. The barrel spice has a slight bitterness. The sweetness is a mix of stewed fruits and caramelized agave. The finish is a tad more spice than sweet. Some pepper shows up at the end. Overall, the nose is tantalizing, especially during the colder months. The flavors are complex without being confusing. The finish is nice and spicy, with underlying sweetness, but not the usual French oak notes I get.

Great spice, dried fruit, cooked agave, the flavor lingers. Very enjoyable. Outstanding
