A decent cooked agave base on this anejo, but a cloying cotton candy component lingers throughout the mid palate & finish. There is caramel, and fruit notes on the palate, but the balance on this anejo is thrown off. This tequila is much too sweet & not for me.
Blind tastings are the best way to find out what you really like, free of marketing hype, bias, and previous experiences. They also give you the opportunity to experience tequila in a whole new way—using only your senses.
Making tequila is a time and labor-consuming process, when done right. But big corporations are taking shortcuts and pricing the artisan products out of the bar...and out of business.
The struggle these days isn't in finding a superb, distinctive, and refined tequila – one that instantly erases any hangover memories of rotgut shots – but deciding among myriad great options.

Nose: Agave leads the way with some cherry, caramel, and vanilla in the background. Black pepper cuts through. Clean and simple - nothing fancy, but it works. Palate & Mouthfeel: Straightforward agave with some oak and a touch of baking spice. Pepper builds as you sip. Mouthfeel’s medium but it leans thin, more like a work shirt than a winter coat. Finish: Barrel and pepper hang on briefly, then fade out. Not much staying power, but no weird aftertaste either. Final Thoughts: Solid pour. No fireworks, but it’s well made and easy to drink. A good pick when you want something that doesn’t make you think too hard.
