Tasting Notes
Nose: The initial aroma of sweet cooked agave is beautifully layered with creamy vanilla and the influence of rich oak.
Palate: A deeply textured mouthfeel reveals a "Double Wood" character. Notes of rich oak and spice dominate the mid-palate, while the Highland agave provides a foundational sweetness. A subtle, distant smoke adds an intriguing layer of complexity rarely found in traditional reposados.
Finish: Long and warming, with the French oak providing a delicate spice and the American oak leaving a lingering, creamy vanilla finish.
