Fresh agave perfumes the glass with a dot of white pepper and vanilla bean. Decidedly spicy entry, although silky and warm, with a blue-berry-mocha charm. A thread of jalapeño moves in mid-way to wrap around stone fruit, and a thread of minerality surfaces, cleansing the palate.
Orange bitters are opulent on the nose, while these citrus notes are sweet and broad across the palate. A touch of white pepper aligns with vanilla and a whisper of raspberry on second pass, but the blood orange notes keep the tongue occupied for an extended finish.
Like an expensive cologne, the aromas are classic woodsy and floral, with the addition of exotic incense, jasmine and a hint of caramel. The entry is refined and luxurious. Notes of tangerine, mocha, and a whisper of cinnamon-sage ignite a passion on the palate. Aged nine months in barrels whose staves have been coated with caramelized, cooked agave.
Perfumed with plum, watermelon, and mocha, ripe agave is unmasked on the palate. Aged three years in red wine barrels, chocolate notes persist, with an underbelly of potent, semi-dry, and an austere aftertaste.
An exhilarating nosing of peaches, apricots, and ripe agave. Black pepper washes over the palate, uniting notes of mocha oak and orange peel. Minerality is a factor, leaving a dry, extended finish.
This graceful tequila is aged 10 years and its toasty-roasted aromas of dates, figs, and pecans is stunning. Succulent notes of baked apricot, toffee, and a pinch of cracked pepper stimulate the palate. Orange peel and chocolate mint are a pleasurable mid-way seduction. Balanced and sleek.
A tingling on the nose delivers a fragrant sea salt, while lime and Asian pear meld with a whiff of fresh agave. Marshmallow, jasmine, and a veil of linen sweeps across the palate. Salted lime and just-ripened agave notes are streamlined through to the harmonious finish.
Perfumed with lavender, toffee, orange peel, and a hint of saddle leather are toasty and savory. Floral tones persist on the palate, accompanied by cigar box, ripe figs, peppercorns, and brown-sugared peaches. Robust, with a velvet touch that speaks to the terroir of Jalisco.
