NOTES:<\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Manana<\/strong> as an overall brand description, is a light tequila.\u00a0 While it packs a lot of complex flavors in its taste profile, it truly feels a bit more refined than many of the more \u201cfuerte\u201d brands.\u00a0 This Highlands tequila is aged in <strong>Jack Daniels<\/strong> barrels and features some nice anise on the <strong>blanco\u2019s<\/strong> nose and varying degrees of heat in the different ages \u2013 with the <strong>anejo<\/strong> being quite a bit hotter and rougher than the <strong>reposado<\/strong>!\u00a0 The <strong>blanco<\/strong> brings loads of deep sugar-cook on the bottom end of the flavor spectrum while the anejo is a bit too larded up with oak.\u00a0 The <strong>reposado<\/strong> was easily the most finely balanced age of the three with a long lasting finish and a completely integrated flavor appeal.\u00a0 You won\u2019t be looking for anything missing in the repo.\u00a0 It is true to its own light self.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>FLAVOR       Profiles for MANANA
