A complex, aged Agave Spirit by NOM 1500 from Amatitán, Mexico; the only Reposado over seven years old that is then aged for 6 months in the finest Napa Cabernet French White Oak barrels. It has an aromatic birth with notes of agave & green pepper; while a rich & spicy life adds notes of vanilla, cacao & caramelized nuts, that lead to a balanced death. December 2019

Aromas of vanilla custard, dark fruit, agave. Slight ethanol. Palate has agave and citrus, with a bit of caramel. The finish has more influence from the cab barrel, with some tannins, chocolate, dark fruit, and some orange pith. This is a nice unique repo, but could be a touch better integrated.
Gold color on the pour. Nose is floral, almost perfume like with a hint of alcohol. Vegetal agave, slight fruity sweetness and a trace of alcohol on the palate with a faint burn. Medium mouthfeel and finish. Good stuff although the slight alcohol taste was off putting.
On the nose: notes of oak, agave, vanilla, caramel, and pepper. Flavors: agave, oak, vanilla, caramel, and orange peel. Drank neet with a vet small piece of ice. Must have really liked it because I finished a bottle over 3 days.
This stuff is bananas! Literally, I taste caramel and bananas. ( my wife says no but I don't care what she says!) ;-) I also get really nice vanilla and light oak notes. This stuff is super smooth too. I drank this neat.
Light caramel sweetness in the begining, changing to orange peels, salt, lime, more fresh than roasted agave, hay and oak, and a tiny dash of fruitiness. finish is a little spicy but nothing crazy. I like
