Tasting Notes and Technical Description:
Visual Appearance:
Upon pouring, one is immediately struck by the tequila's lush amber hue, a visual testament to its 8-month sojourn in American white oak barrels.
Nose (Aroma):
The nose is an orchestration of multi-layered aromas. Initial impressions of ripe tropical fruit and caramelized agave give way to subtler notes of vanilla, leather, and a touch of cinnamon. A careful inhalation may also reveal a faint mineral note, attributable to the calcareous soils of Los Altos.
Palate (Taste):
Sophisticated and yet highly approachable, the palate exhibits a velvety texture and complex flavor profile. Layers of toasted oak, dried figs, and baked agave create a melange of sweetness and earthiness. An underpinning of white pepper and herbal nuances add complexity without overwhelming the palate.
Finish:
The finish is enduring, characterized by an evolving array of flavors. Initial notes of caramel and spice dissolve into a lingering sweetness with a warm, oaky resonance.
Mouthfeel:
Medium-bodied but remarkably smooth, the texture complements the robust flavor profile, making for an impeccably balanced drinking experience.
