Leyenda® is a true reflection of the art of our Tequila masters.

Tasting Notes:

Aroma: Intense aromatic notes of apple, pear, quince, and raisins.

Flavour: Subtle and sweet tones of wood, as well as nutshells, maple, eucalyptus, clove, and thyme.

Finish: Long, complex, balanced, and incredibly smooth.

"Look for aromas of baking spice, pepper, a touch of dried cherry and forest. It's silky on the palate, with caramelized agave, smoky honey, walnut and prominent oak flavors. As sweeter flavors slowly fade, tannins and a touch of clove spice remain." - Anna Archibald, Distiller (90 Points)

"On the palate, more cool vanilla notes, almost like ice cream, emerge with fruitier high tones of pulpy orange slice, lemon peel, and pink grapefruit. The agave is transformed into a rich, minty note, to the point of being almost undetectable. The finish is clean and crisp with gentle baking spice, caramel, and lingering muddled mint. I struggled a bit with the absence of a more vegetal agave element in this tequila, but it’s just too well-balanced and beautifully executed to let that interfere with my appreciation. Plus, the price has decreased considerably since our first encounter. A bargain in extra anejo… if there is such a thing." - Drew Beard, Drinkhacker (95 Points)
