A captivating fusion of Mexican heritage and Kentucky craftsmanship, this single barrel añejo tequila redefines aging.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Initial notes of cooked agave, sweet vanilla, and caramel. Underlying hints of baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg emerge, intertwined with a subtle oak char and a delicate floral lift.

Palate: A surprisingly smooth and velvety entry given its 80 proof. The cooked agave sweetness is prominent, quickly followed by the rich, familiar flavors of a Buffalo Trace barrel: buttery toffee, toasted oak, and a touch of dark chocolate. A gentle pepperiness builds mid-palate, balanced by dried fruit notes of fig and apricot.

Finish: Medium-long and pleasingly warm, with a lingering sweetness of caramelized agave and vanilla. The oak influence gently fades, leaving behind a subtle spice and a clean, slightly earthy aftertaste. No harsh alcohol bite, testament to its careful aging.
