Very nice nose but unfortunately it doesn't translate into the taste. The flavor has a hint of vanilla with a little fruit with the finish being peppery and a little spice.

Light aroma somewhat chemical taste and finish. Not a huge fan would not buy again.

De única personalidad, muy cálido y maderoso. Afrutado como los de Arandas. Buen cuerpo y ligeramente ácido

Only available in Mexico. The bourbon barrel is very evident on the nose, but not in the flavor- Vanillas and toffee with a bit of wood smoke. The alcohol is present on first pouring but give a moment to breathe and its gone. Flavor is not very complex compared to the nose. Somewhat vegetal and spicy. Finishes fairly clean, but the spiciness seems to hang around a minute- similar to the reposado available in the States. Overall its a tremendous value, I wish it was available here so I didnt have to waste space bringing it back instead of an ultra-premium.
