Sauza Tequila Anejo Hornitos Black Barrel

Wine Enthusiast 90 points - Aged 18 months in American oak barrels to deliberately create whiskey-like flavors, this maple-hued anejo has a concentrated, distinctly sweet aroma that hints at vanilla and tropical fruit. On the palate, this Tequila is soft and slightly viscous, with a cookie dough-like sweetness plus traces of allspice, cocoa and clove. The finish is lightened by tropical-fruit tones..Kara Newman, May/2016

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 89 points - This tequila overdelivers with an artisinal style and flavor to match. The aromas mirror the palate with smoked lime leaves, charred plantains, coarse peppercorns, pork crackling, guavaberry, horned melon, tamarind, coal briquettes and mild vanilla extract for what is a tremendous tipple. - 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge.April/2018
