Is it expensive? Yep. But i really like this special treat. The agaves are harvested at the peak of ripeness to impart natural sweetness. The distillery is at 5,255’ and has a distinct microclimate. And although it is cooked using an autoclave, it has low pressure, almost emulating a horno. The three year rest in stainless tanks mean that all these wonderful, natural flavors come together that you wouldn’t normally find in a blanco. What does this mean? The aroma is of cooked agave, cinnamon and graham cracker crust and smoke. The taste is unadulterated with baked agave, spice, cinnamon earthy tones. Its quite viscous. The finish is smooth and reminds you of what a great tequia should be. Again, price is high, but you are owning one of only 8,000 bottles released to the US, so its quite a treat. Buy two bottles.
