Probably the best of the bunch but give me a non diffuser and additive made tequila any day.

This product is clearly leaning on the companies whisky making expertise, it’s a really good Añejo considering the base ingredient. Classic example of how the use of oak can mask blemishes in a Blanco.

Heavy wood nose with fruit, nuts and spices. Flavor slaps you with a bitter resin note. Fruit and agave are overpowered by the heavy oak and bourbon flavors. A little caramel is attempting to peak through.

Eh, it's pretty good for a mass-market añejo, but I'm tasting the mass market more than I'm tasting the agave or the barrel. I'd rather pay up.

Sweet and strong. Caramel and goodness

Little to NO AROMA NO REAL TASTE PROFILE BARREL NOTES- I think not

Su color caramelo es algo desagradable y falso.

Local restaurant had a minimal selection so I chose one that I have never tried. Aroma is whiskey, oakiness, maybe agave, and pepper. Palate- actually this one is taste- caramel, oakiness, pepper, light agave, and alcohol. Finish- it at actually finishes really well- agave, pepper, slight numbing, and cinnamon.

Lots of whiskey influenced aroma and taste. Lots of oak and some spice.

Was looking for an acceptable anejo at a low price and loved Sauza’s Black Barrel Anejo , so thought I’d try this . It’s Just ok , drinkable , hey it’s only $28 bottle . Not much aroma , a little aged barrel notes , some agave . Think I’ll stick with their black barrel anejo as it’s much better , imho .

oak grass malt salt not a smooth sipping tequila

Delicious low end additive tequila. Little peppery on the back end, but honestly very smooth for an additive low end anejo.

Mixed feeling on the nose…. Alcohol / bit of shoe-polish is the first thing that pops out, followed by oak, cooked agave, vanilla, caramel and a hint of buttercream. Medium mouthfeel. Really nice dark golden-amber color. Slightly-sweet upfront then a sharp cracked-pepper bite that lingers through a spicy and somewhat astringent / medicinal warm finish.

Picoso en boca, intenso en olor a madera y sin sabor ni olor (neutro)

Peppery

Nose: Bites on impact!, charcoal, pineapple, florals, hint of caramel Taste: slight bite, then smooths out Finish:

Great value very smooth but, it has no flavor what so ever so I guess for shots this añejo is good but definitely not as a sipper.

pepper bomb

  • 79 Rating

Amber color 3 of 4, with orange tones and golden shades, brilliant, clean and transparent. Nose notes, aromas of cooked agave, caramel, chocolate, vanilla, orange blossom, woods and dried fruit, aroma promise of black pepper. Mouth notes, a little astringent with good in flavor, sweet, velvety in mouth and with a good finish, in the back taste confirms black pepper. Highly recommendable, great choice for a very nice Añejo Tequila.

Not a fan of green agave. Slightly resembles the earthy, woodsy flavor of a Mezcal. Me no like.

  • 68 Rating

A peppery taste with a bite on the finish

  • 73 Rating

This is a good one to show that you probably need to spend a little dough for an anejo. Nothing offensive about it, it's just not interesting as a sipper, and the finish wasn't smooth enough. Two-thirds of the bottle went to making some anejo margaritas that were fairly tasty.

Woody aroma, smooth taste and easy finish. Definitely a quality table tequila.

Review #145 - Sauza Hornitos Tequila Anejo

This is a decent follow up to the Hornitos Reposado. By far Sauza Hornitos' best effort.
