Initial aromas of honey blend with warm oak, cinnamon, a clean minerality, and some vegetal cooked agave. The flavor puts forward more of that honeyed agave, while also being light and crisp, the influence of the barrel is lighter on this one, creating an interesting blend of agave and oak. On the finish, a clean and mellow sweetness of agave and oak, that lasts a while, eventually gives way to notes of cinnamon and black pepper.

I typically love Siembra Azul. This one is good but not up to par with many of the others I have had from this brand Nose does have cooked agave along with oak and vanilla. The whiskey influence from the barrel is there along with caramel and cinnamon. I also get a hint of chocolate. On the palate, the initial note is nice and sweet. I get more oak than on the nose and vanilla I get whiskey and barrel spices. This one doesn’t finish well to me. I get a lot of alcohol for a 40 proof. Fortunately, it stays dormant until you have swallowed. I tasted some really good Anejos today and thought this might match them. Yes, I’d drink it again but I won’t pick it over several others in this category

Nose: vanilla/ caramel/ sweet agave cooked / butter / banana / hint of citrus / lime / spearmint/ tea / orange blossom/ nutmeg/ chocolate/ Taste: sweet agave cooked / vanilla/ caramel/ pepper / banana/ lime / orange peel / spearmint/ bell pepper/ nutmeg/ jalapeno/ chocolate / molasses Finish: very low viscosity mouthfeel/ lingering pepper notes prevail after a rapid dissipation of sweet agave / vanilla/ and peppermint. Spicy till the last swallow. This anejo has many of the signature azul highland pepper notes. The sweetness is quite enjoyable but it steps aside quickly in the light of the predominant pepper notes. There is a touch of mintiness, but the heavy spice notes are in charge here until the last swallow.

Agave and oak presence up front … slight straw aroma … black pepper on the mouth and a taste of a pitted fruit….. complex and balanced

Very nice easy sipper Oak, agave, loads of pitted fruit, black peper. Short to medium finish. Very nice easy sipper. Nice on the pallet …. Caramel is a nice touch when opens up.

Oh yeah this is nice. Agave retained on the nose along with barrel notes. Pallet is oak with slight pepper on the finish. Super easy to drink and delicious. This is pretty dang good

Aroma : Bourbon-like caramel, vanilla, and oak aromas. Light orange note. Taste : Mellow cooked agave sweetness pairs with vanilla, cinnamon, and oak. Finish : Cinnamon spice wraps up the sweetness of the initial impression nicely.

great aroma with earthy, oak, cinnamon, leather. flavor isn't as agave forward as I'd like but it keeps developing on the finish. anise, cinnamon, wood, leather, earth, sage. great price point.

Smells/tastes like good Blanco with baking spice & Mexican vanilla infused!! Great use of oak, this is a winner with any crowd.

Vanilla stands out to me in the aroma. Flavor has hints of vanilla, wood, and earth notes.

Aromas of whisky, leather and cooked agave with a vanilla , cinnamon flavor that has a pleasant spicy finish. Really nice anejo!

Batch 14 Really nice viscosity on this one, however for $80+ I’m not blown away. Nose of honey, agave, apples. Tasted notes of butterscotch, cherry, and whiskey, st times reminded me of the lost lore anejo from the same distillery. There was a good kick of alcohol initially but it subsided quickly, this is fine but soft an $80 the alcohol should be less present esp at current proof. Onto alteño repo next

Light steaw in appearance Nose oak agave vanilla. Maybe a touch. Of banana Taste is a nice balance of sweet agave vanilla oak with pepper quite oresent spices. Touch of citrus Finish medium with pepper and a bit of alcohol Balance is great My kind of anejo to sip Ill be looking

Aroma: oak and agave, with the oak barely edging out the agave. Also vanilla, cinnamon, and baking spices Taste: very similar to aroma, strong barrel influence but you can still taste agave Finish: on the shorter side, but it’s peppery, along with cinnamon Overall: very tasty and enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Oak, caramel

Batch #12 love the aroma get lots of tropical fruit especially banana. Good well rounded taste and finish really loving this Anejo

Oakey. Lemon. Not too sweet.

Oaky Smokey musty flavour

Batch 7 Appearance is unique straw/apple juice Nose: Agave, oak and earthy minerals Flavor: Very unique profile. Sweet floral and herbaceous, earthy, agave and oak are subdued. Finish is more of the same..pretty long. Overall very unique and delicious. Id have a hard time leaving this on the shelf if I saw it again. This is the winner of the aged Siembra products.
