This golden tequila offers a slight tropical fruit aroma. The palate amplifies that effect, mixing grilled pineapple and toasted coconut with a faint waft of smoke. Warming spices and citrusy astringency wind into the long, cayenne-spiked finish. Of note, this brand donates to and fundraises for conservation organizations that protect wild jaguars in Mexico and the U.S.

Technical Details
Blend
Each batch goes through different
mutations in different oaks.
65% of the blend was double-barreled in
American (6.7 mos) & French oak (11 mos).
Yielding the darkest in color, with district
notes of caramel, cooked corn/caramel
corn, vanilla and hints of smoke.
18% of the batch was aged only in
American oak (20.7 mos). Light in color
with notes of chalk and limestone.
17% of the batch (the rest) was aged
exclusively in American oak (20.2 mos).
Considerably darker in color, interesting
combo of vanilla & vinegar.

Tasting notes
Banana, vanilla, cooked agave, oak, and a
blend of 3 different lots/batches, then
blended together: this is unique.
