Expresiones Del Corazon Sazerac Rye Añejo Tequila Tasting Notes

Nose: Medium oak wood, vanilla and raisins with faint hint of citrus.

Palate: Lively notes of briny oak, caramel, nuts and citrus flavors are in the center of entry on the palate. The oak in the midpalate isn’t overpowering but the heat from the increased alcohol gives the midpalate a much greater level of spice.

Finish: This fiery spice also defines the finish which is long and slightly hot but then eases out to a nice, cool finish.

Distillery Information

In May 2010, expert jimadors from the Corazon Distillery began harvesting agave from the rolling hillsides of Arandas, which is situated in the Jalisco region of Mexico. Rather than clear-cutting the fields from the outset, the jimadors employed scientific tools in order to analyze the precise sugar content of the 80 tons of agave plants in Arandas.
