"APPEARANCE: Bright amber/copper color with quick, thick legs.

NOSE: Without knowing the species this mightn't be instantly recognizable as Tequila. Its floral notes suggest brandy. Lots of competing barrel flavors follow, with vanilla (crème brûlée), Sherry and a slight peat. It reveals its Tequila-ness through a spicy cinnamon note at the far end of the bouquet.

PALATE: The cinnamon lights up as soon the juice hits the tongue and spicy cinnamon and ginger follow. The signature Tequila bread-dough note is soon subsumed by more candied notes with cocoa, caramel, vanilla, cherry and grape. A very complex Tequila.

FINISH: As it drifts off, the spice returns with rampant agave notes that remind you of its source."
