This is definitely a unique bottle. Matured entirely in oloroso sherry casks which imparted a ton of flavor on this anejo. To start, this is a spicey/dry sipper with tons of black pepper, barrel spice, cinnamon, apricot, dried fruits, berries, dates, and ample amounts of cooked agave. Loving this profile & recognize that there are not many tequilas that taste like this.
$18 pour in San Francisco in a rocks glass (I know pretty lame, please take review with a grain of salt) Aroma: Cheesy agave with plenty of heft. Ethanol coming forward which I contribute to the rocks glass format. Maybe a hint of malt to it. Palate: Good mouth feel and evolution. Nothing ground breaking but very pleasant. Quality additive free blanco without a big punch.

Very cheesy
On the nose I found cooked agave with some cheesey funk notes. There was an interesting lactic note on the palate that certainly was unique along with cooked agave, cheese, vegetal notes and fresh pepper like jalapeño & bell pepper. Very enjoyable, and different blanco from La Tequileña.
