I’m a blanco guy, so XAs don’t top my lists. That being said Tears is a beautiful juice, complex in its flavor and gorgeous in my glass. Deep and balanced, and a powerful force that pours from your glass. Cognac and sherry is the bedrock of this tequila that caramel, wood, and anise lay. Unfortunately for me the agave is lost in the mix. If it was there I missed it, possibly over powered by this powerful punch of a drink. I don’t smoke, but I imagine this would pair beautifully with a cigar.
nose is amazing - vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, fruity, some barrel notes. palate - some vanilla, cinamon, sherry notes. finish is medium and dry, assume from the sherry
Touch of smokiness at the finish
