About this bottle

Herencia which translates to “heritage” in English, really does symbolize the history of premium tequila and in many ways the gastronomic history of Mexico. Made using very “old school” methods of growing and distillation but then embracing the European/ American influences by imparting a prominent wood influence to this tequila.

Neat. Nose is delicious. Burnt sugar, vanilla, cocoa butter, with green herbs, a hint of oak, and ethanol to balance. Taste is sweet agave, caramel, burnt sugar, milk chocolate, vanilla, anise, candied orange peel, pepper. Not much oak and smoke. Finish is easy and pleasant. Vanilla, saccharine, balanced with lightly bitter grassy herbs Overall, a balanced, pretty sipper. It lacks the intensity of many additive heavy anejos. This still shares many of those dessert flavors, but allows some more delicate complexity. Wouldn't recommend as a mixer as the flavors would be lost. Value is fair

Appearances are a clear pale white tea. Aromas are fragrant spicy, a bit floral, oak and herbs. A bit of caramel in there too. Flavors are similar to nose, on the sweet side, and very smooth. Perhaps a touch thin. More of a sipper than a mixer. Overall very good.

Better have another taste to see if it’s that good... cotton candy Carmel popcorn nose smooth quick finish, wood carries through and lingers

Nice but flavor depth and color is super light. Some chocolate, butter notes with more citrus on the nose
