Lots of oak and a little vanilla on the nose. Has a smoky mezcal-like flavor with a light finish.

Typical XA, very little agave on nose, but a lot of oak presence. Mild sweetness on entry, turning to black tea astringency with dark chocolate notes. Some bitterness tempered with honey on the finish, nice spice at end.

- Snake Head Bottle - Aroma is a bit sharp (medicinal) but has notes of chocolate, banana, and a subtle hint of cherry. This is much more mellow than other Crotalo tequilas I've had in the past. I get a bit of cherry and the oak is definitely present but mellow. Usually, I'm not a huge fans of overly aged tequilas because the barrel becomes too powerful. However, in this case it's very smooth and an easy drinker.

Dark in the glass with strong oak aroma along with big chocolate notes and subtle hints of fruit at the end. Surprisingly light at first and not the oak bomb I was expecting. There is a definite oak flavor but it is accompanied by soft vanilla and peppery spice. Very nice and very smooth. However, the finish is disappointingly brief.

Smells of vanilla and caramel and sweet cooked agave aroma that just lingers on the edges of the Reidel. The flavors are both sweet and spicy with caramel and vanilla flavors mingling with some baking spices and some hints of spicy Mexican dark chocolate are also present. Has a nice long finish with some drying from the oak tannins.

Snake tail, 5 year Anejo. Aromas are muted, mostly oak and caramel. Palate is cinnamon and oak with a little heat on the back that fades quickly - a little too quickly.

Snake Head bottle. Has a mezcal-like opening which does not work for me but not a deal-breaker. Good oak and a tiny hint of dewberry make the taste worthwhile.

Every tequila is unique but this tequila is unique in the meaning that it has an aroma and flavour profile that seems to be like a mix or a blend of all of the best tequila I've tried so far. Complex, butterscotch, toffee, banana, rum, coconut, pineapple, floral, stable, hay.

Very good aroma and man is this smooth!! Taste is complex with oak, spices and some caramel(?). Plus it lasts a long time on the palate.
