Tasting Notes: A Symphony of Two Oaks
The 28-month "Doble Barrica" aging process creates a deep, luxurious, and complex flavor profile:
Nose: A rich and inviting bouquet of sweet cooked agave, deep caramel, and vanilla from the American oak, beautifully layered with spicier, more elegant notes of cinnamon and clove from the French oak.
Palate: A velvety, full-bodied mouthfeel that coats the palate. The journey begins with the sweet, familiar character of a classic Añejo—rich toffee and butterscotch—which then transitions to a more complex mid-palate of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a distinct, peppery spice.
Finish: The finish is exceptionally long, smooth, and sophisticated, with lingering notes of sweet vanilla from the American oak and a final, satisfying whisper of dry spice from the French oak.
