إل مايور شيري كاسك إكسترا أنيخو تيكيلا، المكسيك 750 مل

I’m not usually a tequila guy, but the 38 months in sherry casks really mellowed out the burn — this stuff is dangerously smooth on the rocks.

The extra aging in sherry casks gives this a deep, almost wine-like sweetness that makes it dangerously smooth on the rocks. I usually prefer blancos, but the 38 months really soften the agave bite into something luxurious.

The sherry cask aging really shows—it’s got that sweet, smooth finish without any harsh burn, even neat. I wish the bottle were a bit bigger for the price, but the 38 months of aging make it worth a special occasion pour.
