Villa Lobos® «LOS HOMBRES» Añejado 10 AÑOS
AGED:
10 years in American Oak Barrels.
COLOR:
At cask strength (after 10 years in wood, the alcohol has dropped to virtually 40% and so is bottled accordingly)
ON-THE-NOSE:
Julian de Féral, drinks director of The Gorgeous Group, London, shares his tasting notes that read like a poem:
The agave shines through more than one might expect from such an aged tequila.
TASTE PROFILE:
The nose is sweet and floral on the start, and has an intense honeysuckle in blossom, a waxy propolis (super intense bees honey) note.
AFTER TASTE:
The palate starts off with burnt butterscotch and wood and leads into surprisingly robust vegetal notes: roasted red pepper and capsicum, with a hint of szechuan pepper. A liberal dose of cracked pepper follows through to a long finish where the wood steps in again, and the vegetal note continues. A beeswax note lurks throughout, and flavours are tightly concentrated and complex, with a good viscosity.”
