Aroma: sweet on the nose. Honey, oak, caramel, pepper, agave Taste: much more peppery on the taste: Pepper, honey, caramel, oak, cinnamon Very simple profile, not complex. Bargain Añejo
Excellent! Glad I got to try this old bottle which holds up beautifully today.
This is from a AMM blind tasting Aroma: Beautiful nose, I get cooked agave , honey, cinnamon, pepper, vanilla, oak, citrus, fruits, spices, mint, grass. Flavors: my taste buds enjoyed this one, I get cooked agave, honey, oak, pepper, cinnamon, vanilla, citrus, caramel, barrel spices, butter, vegetal, fruity notes and a touch of alcohol. Finish: This is a well made anejo, medium mouth feel, but full of flavors. The agave shines, the barrel doesnt over power this just gives it the added flavors to make a great balanced anejo. Revisited this and still can't believe that I'm really enjoying this anejo, not sure if they change the way they process their product but I can definitely drink and see this. I know old-school espolon is some amazing juice. This one reminds me of something from the Camarenas, sweet agaves, not to heavy on the barrel notes. This anejo is solid and highly recommend it.
Peppery, slight burn, nose is better than the flavor. Might in a pinch use it as a mixer. Column still distillation, mass production. Poor quality
This is a Blind Tasting, and coincidentally, my favorite of the night. The nose is agave-forward for an aged expression. I smell herbs and alcohol, but the taste is more complex. It is smooth, but the alcohol burn is present. It has an initial funk to the taste that evolves into a spicy chocolate finish. Viscosity is good, and the mouthfeel has a pleasant spiciness to it. The finish is long and the burn is mellow. It’s very pleasant, even if it’s a little different from other Añejos.
To help ease your shopping experience, we decided to see how well bottles $50 and under would perform against bottles $100 and over in the only fair way we know how. That’s right, we’re talking about a blind taste test!

Nose is lots of pepper and alcohol with light agave. Taste has agave, pepper with vegetal notes as well but the alcohol is still strong. Has a bit of citrus on the finish.
