Sweet roasted agave hits first, followed by hints of nuts, medium oak, a touch of molasses and dark fruit. Then, a strong oak and bourbon char comes through, lingering in the mouth. The finish is moderately long, with baking spices and a pleasant sweet agave that remains. A truly excellent añejo, I'm quite impressed and want to buy this. I think bourbon fans would really like this tequila.

This is a fantastic single estate, private reserve añejo, aged for two years, and it's incredibly smooth! It remains exceptionally smooth yet powerful, a skillfully made tequila. This expression is intended for the discerning tequila enthusiast. Vanilla scents are present, alongside a full-bodied profile of caramel, cocoa, sarsaparilla, and dominant spice. A very savory, long, and smooth finish! Delicious!
Has a slight smoke and oak essence, reminiscent of scotch. Yet, it remains distinctly tequila. Intriguing and mellow. I'm pleased to have tried it, though it won't be a regular pour for me. I can picture myself wanting some on a future winter visit to Chicago, coming from South Florida.
Vanilla on the nose, with caramel and cocoa. A light finish. Would be excellent with a few more years in the barrel.
Very velvety. Faint spice notes. Best enjoyed neat or over ice.
Perhaps the finest tequila I've ever sampled.
