Lost Lore NASA Liquor Single Barrel Añejo

94 SCORE

“A phenomenal single barrel añejo that pushes the boundaries without losing its identity. The nose is loaded with dark chocolate, roasted coffee, vanilla, toffee, oak, and cooked agave. The palate is rich and velvety, leading with chocolate and espresso before transitioning into sweet cooked agave and subtle oak. The ex-stout barrel influence is unmistakable but remarkably well integrated, adding complexity rather than masking the tequila. The finish is exceptionally long, warming, and layered with lingering chocolate, coffee, and agave sweetness. It’s dessert-like, incredibly approachable, and one of the most memorable barrel-finished tequilas I’ve tasted. Even those skeptical of stout barrel finishes should give this one a chance. An outstanding, highly collectible pour.”
