Cierto Tequila Personal Assortment Añejo – Deep oak-driven nostril with a strong spine of agave. On the palate, the agave shines with a candy vegetal taste and mellow caramel character from the barrel. A clean entry, spherical mouthfeel and further lengthy end, ending with a considerably tannic dryness. A flavorful sipper that retains the essence of Blue Weber within the forefront. GSN Score: A
Cierto Tequila Personal Assortment Additional Añejo – Very darkish aroma of tequila soaked woodstave, offset with brighter excessive notes of agave. Upon tasting, there’s a burst of oak ahead traits: caramel, char, toffee, gentle roasted espresso bean, and a touch of cocoa. The physique is medium, with a considerably sharper entry than the añejo. End goes on and on, with a really wooden ahead, but candy fade. A contemplative tequila that pushes the boundaries of getting old. GSN Score: A
