X-FACTOR

A dry and herbaceous style of Añejo well suited to cocktails.

TASTING NOTE

Bright, medium golden color. The aromatics are very intense, giving aromas of treacle, butterscotch, brioche, and dried fruits with supporting notes of agave and caramel. The palate is more intense and spicy than the nose delivering a black pepper-driven core with supporting flavors of cinnamon, oak, and agave. The finish is a bit hot. Medium to full-bodied and largely balanced with an drying texture.
