HOW TO SERVE

A great sipping Reposado that can be used in cocktails but make it a subtle one as not to trample on the delicate flavors.

X-FACTOR

Elegant and complex — a benchmark in the category.

TASTING NOTE

Bright, medium golden color. The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of agave, blanched almonds, caramel, and sultanas with supporting notes of brown sugar and gingerbread. The palate is in full accord with the nose delivering a barrel-driven core with flavors reminiscent of vanilla, dried fruits, caramel, baking spices, and roasted agave. The finish is long. Medium to full-bodied and pleasingly balanced with a silky texture.
