Beam Distilling Co.'s Master Distiller Fred Noe to create this tequila. In detail, the barrels used to mature the 100% estate-grown tequila were Booker's 30th Anniversary Bourbon which held bourbon aged up to 16 years. The tequila was aged for a minimum of 3 years before bottling at 42.5% ABV. Available as of November 2022 in limited quantities. (SRP $499.99)

Balanced nose featuring caramel, cinnamon, a little agave. Medium body, caramel notes without the agave being overwhelmed. The bourbon definitely makes itself known despite barely qualifying as an XA. Reminds me a little of 7L D'Antano, which is like half the price. It's decent stuff, but let's be real, I feel sorry for anybody who pays the $500+ RRP for a bottle of this.
Tried neat awhile back thanks to my distributor friend, Tanya! Unfortuantly I wasnt able to write down notes then.
