Lou cranks out another video, this time with his opinion of Azuñia Black Añejo.
Originally a Texas based company, it is now owned by the Kilkenny family in California, and they have a solid and interesting line of tequilas.
On the nose, oak, vanilla and caramel. I’m not really picking up much agave. Very sweet nose. On the palate, the vanilla and oak are stars of the show. Barrel spice, caramel, and something like toffee. Moderate sweetness, very oily and full bodied. Overall this isn’t bad. A little sweet and overoaked for my taste, but it’s drinkable and enjoyable. Not sure about additives, a slight bitterness makes me wonder but it’s not over the top.
