El Sativo Single Property Tequila Reposado – Aged 9 months in bourbon barrels. Sharp and aggressive on the nostril, that is harking back to El Sativo’s blanco, each fairly ahead with peppery agave, lemon peel, and inexperienced natural notes. The palate finds this tempered with notes of vanilla and butterscotch — however lower than you’d suppose — the impression of recent wooden making its presence well-known, and leaving the palate surprisingly brooding and underdeveloped. The candy and savory components by no means fairly gel right here, the ending exhibiting among the fruit current within the blanco, although right here fairly overripe and pushy. All in all, it by no means fairly comes collectively. B / $45 [BUY IT NOW FROM DRIZLY]
El Sativo Single Property Tequila Anejo – Aged 16 months in bourbon barrels. Darker in colour, however pretty related on the nostril: Strongly peppered, boldly natural, and calmly lemony. The barrel’s affect is once more fairly delicate and reticent to pierce that natural veil, although right here it’s barely extra evident than within the reposado — clearly these are kissing cousins, nonetheless. A stronger butterscotch character awaits on the palate, although once more it’s filtered by means of ample greenery — thyme, rosemary, and tomato leaf — earlier than ending fitfully because it settles right into a considerably leathery, calmly woody field. It’s fascinating however fairly uncommon, and relatively far off from expectations for an anejo bottling. Outdoors of utilizing it as a curiosity (and all by its lonesome), I’m unsure what I’d do with it. Consider it because the oddball outlier in your anejo flight. Each flight wants one, proper?
