A delightful smoky aroma, balanced with a sweet, slightly grassy flavor. The palate is even more intriguing, featuring a rich maltiness with a whisper of agave. It's quite pleasant and agreeable; the tequila barrel aging imparts a sweet, almost fruity quality. A moderately long finish concludes with a subtle wood smoke note. This is an exceptional drink that's performing at its peak. Get some while you can.
