Tequila - Xoloitzcuintle - Reposado
The vegetal agave punches through but it brings some light barrel spices with it. There’s still some sweetness and just a tad of alcohol vapors. The oak pipon gives it some caramel and natural vanilla scents but they are subtle.

There some agave sweetness and then the barrel notes kick in. It’s cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and cracked black pepper. There some notes of dried fruit and barrel char. It’s an aromatic nose that’s part sweet and part spicy.

Tequila - Xoloitzcuintle - Extra añejo
There’s a mix of peaches, cherries, plums, and nectarines (stone fruits). I also detect cooked agave, light brown sugar, and some slight barrel spices. Overall it’s a very balanced aroma with the fruit being the most prevalent note. — I taste the buttery cooked agave and some barrel notes immediately. There’s spice that hits right away thanks to the 92 proof.

Tequila - Xoloitzcuintle - Joven
There are several aromatic notes that appear first. It’s a combination of agave, green peppers, fresh jalapeños, sage / oregeno, faint citrus rind and white oak. Behind that initial barrage is some light natural sweetness and minerality. On the palate I first get a fresh pop of agave.
