GoodSpiritsNews 4.8

A lovely smoky nose, married with a sweet and slightly vegetal sweetness. On the palate, things are even more interesting, with a malty richness that carries with it the ghost of agave. Quite friendly and agreeable, the tequila barrel aging adds a sweet, near fruity quality. A medium-long finish which ends on a lightly wood-smoked note. This is a remarkable sipper, and one which is firing on all cylinders. Grab a bottle or two while you can.
