HOW TO SERVE
This is a sipping Tequila. Top cocktail ideas are to use it like a Whiskey in spirit-heavy drinks such as an Old Fashioned, Sazerac, or even a dry Manhattan with French Vermouth and an orange swath.
X-FACTOR
A robust style of Tequila made for lovers of decadent barrel aromatics and flavors.
TASTING NOTE
Bright, medium copper/bronze color. The aromatics are very intense, giving scents of baked apple, baking spices, oak, gingerbread, and cinnamon with supporting notes of treacle, fruitcake, and cigar box. The palate echoes the nose delivering a baking spices-driven core with flavors reminiscent of apricot, cinnamon, marzipan, honey, vanilla, and charred oak. The finish is long. Full-bodied and pleasingly balanced with a silky texture.
