Barrel Aged Tequila Uses the Best of Buffalo Trace’s and Van Winkle Barrels
sweet cooked agave, cinnamon, wood (non charred oak) butter cream covered baked pineapple pastry on the aroma. some vanilla/butterscotch pudding swirl also hits the nose. nice warming on the tongue with buttery mouth feel. definite whiskey style heat on the tongue in first sip (welcoming and expected in this expression due to Buffalo Trace barrel influence) and flavor. it complements the cooked agave. not normally a fan of any aged expression that allows the wood to take the lead, but this particular expression tells you up front to expect it - and it delivers in a very well balanced way for this style. bottled in July 2014 and found it for $79.99 in 2021. I consider myself lucky. a few left on the shelf in this off the beaten path liquor store,ight go back to grab another. is it all agave all the time? No, but a fun sipper for sure. pleasantly surprised. my rating on TMM isn't based on comparison to other normally rested repos. it's solely based on a repo rested in Buffalo Trace barrels, and it's really enjoyable
