Having our first snow of the year, I decided to pour something wintery. The nose on this screams Christmas. Cinnamon, ginger, brown sugar, browned caramel baking spices. On the palate, the barrel really overtakes it. I can pull out all of the flavors that I smell but I am left with a bitter taste after the initial pleasant notes. I like this maybe a little better than the few other reviews I have read but be careful as this is not standard tequila.
When first opened the nose is not good, the longer this pour sits in the glass the better it gets, left the bottle open for 45 minutes cause the nose needs help! Second pass a month later, digging it, cherries! Not a fan of the finish but this is very easy drinking overpriced ($59)
