The nose on this one is amazing and the taste is a great funk with a grape flavor one of my top high proof tequilas!

Cask Strength | Apricot, toasted caramel, leather, clove. The overproof delivers a nice finish. This one is a blend of 3, 4, and 5 yr XAs bottled at 88.8 proof cask strength. Very good.

This is solid. A very good XA

Nose: Fresh agave leads with a light touch of vanilla and honeysuckle. There’s a gentle vegetal edge and a soft buttermilk note that brings some creaminess. White pepper and minerality sit just behind it, keeping things crisp and clean. Palate & Mouthfeel: Agave and white pepper show first, joined by that malolactic funk and buttermilk from the nose. The pepper builds steadily as bitter citrus pith adds bite and balance. Vegetal tones stay present, with a faint vanilla rounding things out. Finish: Slightly bitter with grapefruit pith and white pepper that hangs on. The agave remains steady through the finish, giving it a dry, peppery close. Final Thoughts: If you enjoy a bit of funk, this one stands out. It’s distinctive, well priced, and easy to appreciate once you settle into its mix of cream, pepper, and citrus. I like it a lot.

First of all, I am a huge Chamucos fan. I especially love the Diablo at 55 ABV. The Anejo is also a big time favorite of mine. That is why I needed to add the XA to my collection. I bought this from Roadrunner Spirits. This is a new kit that comes in at 44.4 ABV. This is Fuerte my friends and you know I love that! The nose is just crazy good. So sweet with agave, fruit (especially plum), leather, there is cinnamon and vanilla. This nose is so complex there is no telling what you may pull from it. On the palate, the first thing is sweetness. It has a bit of that funkiness but nothing like the diablo. I get sweet potatoes, plum, vanilla and cinnamon. I am also pulling radon and leather. This is a bit pricey but not for an XA. I love it!
