Compoveda is aged for 4 years in heavily used American Oak barrels that are about 15 years old and previously used for bourbon. it takes a rare extra anejo to impress because many are saturated with oak and heavy barrel flavors that mask the agave. Not so with Cascahuín XA, which is rich and layered with notes of cooked agave, dried fruit, nuts, vanilla and caramel. It is slightly higher proof, at 43% abv, giving it brighter flavors to pair with a holiday meal, or as a standalone after dinner sipper.
