Nose: Bright aromas. Dried fruit: raisins, citrus and apricot? Cedar, light oak, and lively barrel spice. Undercurrents of vanilla and butterscotch, with some edgy mineral earthiness. Flavor: Some barrel spices, orange peel, pepper and tingly cinnamon heat. Nuts and butterscotch with a kiss of coffee. Oily. Creamy, sweet - borderline overly sweet for my tastes. A straightforward sipper with no pretensions. I can see this Añejo as a complement to a dessert course.

LOTE 170117-A, this bottle was gifted to me in 2017. Color: yellow to dark yellow. Aroma: sweetness that after 30 minutes in the glass it appears to be from agave, light vanilla note, resinous sweetness, light bitterness and acidity that balances with the sweetness, slightly citrus, orange. Palate: sweet cooked agave, light agave, very light wood note, very good sweet, sour & acidic balance. Light vanilla & wood note. Finish is medium to long, sweet cooked agave with light vanilla notes persist.

At first I felt like the spice overwhelms the light flavors that it has, but it grew on me. Not very complex, just simple caramel and vanilla flavors. It’s probably a little overpriced.

Smooth They Did Good, I was Very Pleasantly Surprised . Loved It !
