Top notch combo for this extremely stressful day!
Had to pour some @lotemaestrotequila añejo out of NOM 1477 in my glass, a @rahrandsonsbrewingdfw stick, and @champagnepapi ft @future– Desires in the background to vibe out to.
Love the perfect amount of sweet vanilla and caramel flavors in this pour with a slight pepper and oak finish, absolutely delicious.
The smoothness of this smoke perfectly complements this pour and is exactly what I need on this stressful day!
The bottle goes for about $80 in the Chicago area and is well worth adding to the bar.
TLA Recommended Ways Of Drinking
For this expression of Lote Maestro Tequila I really would recommend you enjoy it neat with a light to medium body cigar.
The cigar will balance out the sweetness of this pour without over powering/altering the taste too much.
I would also recommend this in a margarita or a sweet/fruit forward cocktail. Haven’t had it, but just sounds delicious!
Ranking & Taste Category
For me personally this is a Cork & Keep bottle.
Why you ask?
I know, I know, the bottle looks great with the shot in the top and all. But it just doesn’t make the cut to be on my top shelf!
Just a little too sweet and doesn’t have enough agave shinning through to make my top shelf list!
In terms of tequila taste category….
It’s definitely a dessert tequila through and through!
The rich vanilla/caramel prominent flavor notes 100% makes sure that’s exactly where it belongs from start to finish!
Check out the photos below of this amazing pairing!
