Bottled: 9-VII-21 (I think it's a Roman numeral?); Bottle No.: 09381 Nose: Agave, caramel, vanilla, tropical fruit, charred stone fruit. Very clean, very smooth. Palate: Vanilla, cooked tropical fruit, almond, maybe chestnut (although I'm not sure I know what those taste like - something nutty and vaguely familiar anyway), sweet baking spice, caramel, generally sweet with no hint of ethanol whatsoever. Finish: Dash of cinnamon spice, agave that lands somewhere between fruit and cooked vegetables, caramel, vanilla, touch of mint. I was gifted a bottle of the Reserva de la Familia Extra Anejo and have quite enjoyed it (still working on that bottle). Decided to give this less-aged version a shot. No disappointment here. Really tasty tequila. The agave notes are subtle and delightful here (where I tend to find them overpowering in many/most tequilas). Great balance, an excellent sipper, and reasonably priced. If I had a go-to tequila, this could definitely be it.

Nice, satisfying tequila. It starts out somewhat buttery and smooth, bringing notes of baked agave, vanilla, caramel, baking spices, citrus, black pepper, and oak. The extended finish is a little bittersweet.
Tastes like a sherry, cherry scotch.
