This 80-proof spirit offers an unexpected and delightful journey for both tequila aficionados and bourbon enthusiasts, showcasing the nuanced interplay of agave and oak in a beautifully balanced pour.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A surprisingly complex nose for its proof, revealing initial waves of cooked agave and vanilla bean, swiftly followed by hints of caramel and a whisper of white pepper. As it opens, subtle undertones of green apple and a faint earthiness emerge, likely from its reposado aging in oak.

Palate: The palate is remarkably smooth and approachable, beginning with a sweet burst of caramelized agave and a delicate butterscotch note. Mid-palate, a gentle oak spice surfaces, interwoven with dried fruit characteristics like apricot and a touch of citrus zest. The 80 proof keeps it light, allowing the nuanced tequila character to shine through without overwhelming heat.

Finish: The finish is medium-short and clean, leaving a pleasant warmth and a lingering echo of vanilla and sweet oak. A subtle minerality and a final whisper of agave nectar complete the experience, inviting another sip.
