Partida - Anejo Tequila (750ml)
This is a 100% agave Lowlands spirit, and the anejo expression spends 18 months in barrel before bottling. The tequila's nose is expressive, with significant agave balanced by an ample fruitiness, showcasing notes of apple cider, and a lush vanilla tone underneath. Lots of pepper here, spicing the nose up considerably.
Partida Description
The palate is rich with fruit and vanilla-caramel notes, making for a bit of a caramel apple experience. That pepper hangs in there for the long haul, spicing up the experience by layering both baking spice and cayenne notes on top of everything. The chocolate notes on the finish remind me of Mexican chocolate, and make it a hard anejo to put down.

Hitting all the right notes, this 18-month-aged añejo melds tropical fruit and fresh-cut apple with silky vanilla and agave nectar, finishing on a brisk peppery-cinnamon note.
