Grade: A (Drinkhacker)
"Here we find a nose that’s gently smoky and earthy. It strikes a much more powerful aromatic appearance, offering a much denser core of agave, barrel char, and caramel that comes across as heavily toasted rather than gently simmered. The palate infuses all of that with a more forceful, green agave quality, now showing some of the peated elements in gentle, restrained fashion. Bolder from every angle, the tequila sees a lovely, light salinity as the finish approaches, tempered with more vanilla and milk chocolate, and a lingering hint of smoke."
"On the nose, it reads like salty vanilla bean with hints of tropical citrus (think: pomelo and Kaffir lime). But on the palate, upon the first three sips, is where the 80-proof añejo really shines. There’s a pronounced butterscotch-forward sweetness that complements Laphroaig’s smoky influence, which can be attributed to the cask’s provenance." - Forbes
