HOW TO SERVE

A bold style of Tequila that requires bold pairing in the cocktail and with food. Spicy and sweet additions are welcomed here — a cigar Reposado.

X-FACTOR

A archetypical Reposado that does lean toward the woody and sweet end of the spectrum.

TASTING NOTE

Bright, medium golden color. The aromatics are very intense, offering scents of treacle, fruitcake, almond butter, crème brulee, caramel, and blanched almonds with supporting notes of brown sugar. The palate substantially agrees with the nose delivering a baked apple-driven core with supporting flavors of molasses, baking spices, oak, and leather. The finish is long. Medium to full-bodied and out of balance with an opulent texture.
