Tasting Notes:

Pale yellow golden color.
Cinnamon, sweet agave, and peppery alcohol.
On the palate there is an overpowering character of toasty oak. The tequila sweetness and character is subdued under spicy toasty oak. There are notes of vanilla from the barrels as well. The packaging is beautiful but the price is extraordinary and this reposado is out of balance.
