Description
AGED
10 years in American Oak Barrels.
COLOR
At cask strength (after 10 years in wood, the alcohol has dropped to virtually 40% and so is bottled accordingly)
ON-THE-NOSE
Julian de Féral, drinks director of The Gorgeous Group, London, shares his tasting notes that read like a poem:
The agave shines through more than one might expect from such an aged tequila.
TASTE PROFILE
The nose is sweet and floral on the start, and has an intense honeysuckle in blossom, a waxy propolis (super intense bees honey) note.
AFTER TASTE
The palate starts off with burnt butterscotch and wood and leads into surprisingly robust vegetal notes: roasted red pepper and capsicum, with a hint of szechuan pepper. A liberal dose of cracked pepper follows through to a long finish where the wood steps in again, and the vegetal note continues. A beeswax note lurks throughout, and flavours are tightly concentrated and complex, with a good viscosity.”
