Aroma: 24/25 First word that comes to mind is complexity. Really nice and unique aroma. Floral, herbal, sweet lemon peel, and light oak barrel influence. Palate: 29/30 The resting in oak barrels before bottle has left clear characteristics on this pour and I love it. Medium to high level of lusciousness mouth feel. Thick and syrupy. Sweet lemon cooked agave. Light level of funk. This is delicious. 42% is a pleasant boost from the classic floor of 40%. Finish: 22/25 This is really the only place this pour starts to drop for me. Finish while tasty is shorter and less present than I would have hoped for. Value: 9/10 $55 in San Francisco is a strong value.
Batch 2 Nose: Cooked agave and stone fruit notes fruit, with lite citrus. Taste: like the cooked agave, reminiscent of tasting pieces often served at distilleries during tours. Some subtle caramel and vanilla but not overpowering. Finish: A soft finish that leaves an oily finish with a bit of tannins from oak that lends to a medium finish.
Aroma of butter, vanilla, and cooked agave. Also has dried fruit, earth, and lemon. Flavor is mostly cooked agave, subtle vanilla, and a buttery finish. There’s a slight touch of cinnamon on the last part of the finish. Overall this is pleasant.
