This XA has a light copper color. The nose is sweet, literally. I smell sweet agave, butterscotch and some light barrel notes. I also smell some sweet citrus. I first taste cooked agave and oak. I then taste some orange and white pepper. The finish isn’t long but it dangerously smooth. Overall I’m impressed by the Ryno offerings, I haven’t tried the Reposado yet. This would be a good tequila to win over your whiskey or rum lovers. ¡Salud!
