Third tequila of the Pasote trilogy, from the independent bottler 3 Badge, this anejo spends 18 months in oak. This expression drinks a lot like a reposado, just pushed further along to the sweeter end of the spectrum. It’s still a very well-crafted tequila, its herbal characters tamped down and its sweetness dialed up. The agave may be dialed back, but it’s kicking around primarily on the nose as well as a spicy reminder that hits well into the finish. Deftly handled and still light as a feather, but a worthwhile counterpart to some of the industry’s more overbearing anejos.
Tasting notes
Nose : Au premier nez des arômes boisés provenant du chêne américain. Doux arôme d'agaves rôties, vanille, noix de coco.
Palate : En bouche une sensation velouté, le fût se marrie avec l'agave cuite à l'étouffée pour donner des arômes d'oranges, soutenus par des notes épicés de cannelle.
Overall : longue, tendue. La chair des fruits mûrs (pomme, pêche) et d'autres fruits exotiques (ananas, banane) accompagnent jusqu'à la rétro-olfaction.
