So unique. There is a nicr green agave to start that turns into a sweet roasted agave. The oak tannins dance lightly across the toungue. there comes some apricot, grapefruit, key limes and apple, as well as small dashes of minerality. The finish is clean and crisp with the fruit and earthiness still lingering. one of the best reposados ive ever had

ShatteredArm 4.3

Pepper, caramel, vanilla, nice thick mouthfeel. I think I preferred the 2021, but this is still quite delicious.

First try was citrusy with maybe a toasted Carmel vanilla on the finish.
