Dulce Amargura Anejo Tequila 1l
DescriptionDulce Amargura Añejo embodies the brand's philosophy of balancing sweetness and bitterness, as suggested by its name. This añejo expression takes that concept further through oak aging, adding layers of complexity to the interplay of flavors. The generous one-liter bottle ensures there's plenty to explore in this study of contrasts.
The rich amber color promises depth, and the nose delivers with an intriguing balance of sweet and savory notes. Caramel and vanilla from oak aging mingle with unexpected hints of dark cocoa and coffee that add a pleasant bitter edge. As it opens, notes of orange peel, cinnamon, and toasted nuts create additional layers of complexity. The name's promise of sweet-bitter balance is evident even in the aromatics.
On the palate, the duality becomes even more pronounced. Initial sweetness of cooked agave and butterscotch is balanced by notes of dark chocolate and espresso that prevent it from becoming cloying. The interplay continues with flavors of caramelized orange, baking spices, and a subtle tannic grip from the oak. The texture is smooth and full-bodied, carrying these contrasting flavors in harmony. The finish is long and contemplative, with alternating waves of sweetness and pleasant bitterness that perfectly embody the brand's name. This añejo is for those who appreciate complexity and balance.
