Avion Anejo Tequila

Type : Tequila
ABV : 80
Producer : Avion Spirits LLC
Country : Mexico
Size : 750ml
Description :

Avión Añejo is aged for two years in American oak casks. Offering hints of vanilla, caramel, coconut and maple, intense tones of roasted agave, delicate tinges of mint and rosemary and fruity aromas of peach and cherry, this is an extraordinarily harmonious and exquisite tequila.

Appearance: Lovely gold yellow, crystal clear , lovely body. On swirling, it leaves a very light coating on the glass which then forms some legs which then leave a constellation of droplets on the sides of the nosing glass. The color is a real resulting color from wood aging not caramel coloring fakery like those abominations called "gold" tequila.

Taste: Think of this as the single malt of tequila. Slightly oily start with a wonderful body. Sweetish with almost immediate drying to a peaty phenolic rush with oak, char and rambutans or longans (oriental fruits). The barrel it was aged in also adds a charming vanilla,oak and gobs of leather, tobacco and charcoal.The carmelization of the slow roasted agave yields lovely vanilla, oak and sweet maple like notes. Finish is medium long, deadly smooth with slightly sweet then drying citrus and savory ending, making reach for just one more (honest) taste.

Final Thoughts: Delicious, smooth, one of the more complex and nuanced tequilas we have had. A touch sweeter (probably a result of the slow roasting) than most and more complex by a long shot.
