The clarifying process downs not make the Añejo better.
The taste is unexpected. I went in expecting a anejo spice flavour profile. But what I got was something all together different. While the taste is a bit off putting at first, once I put away my expectations, I found a unique flavour profile that was not unpleasant. A bit stringent at first , I could sort of taste the charcoal used to filter , I suddenly had a flavour of liquorice. The overall sipping is smooth with a little alcohol burn, but the full mouth feel is reminiscent of a very mild sambuca. Even the smell, which at first I didn’t like, has a liquorice scent. When you open your mind to just experience the drink, it’s not bad. Still , I think calling it anejo tequila is misleading.
smell vanilla with a smooth at first then burns. not my favorite. agave flavor is lacking.
Harsh for a cristalino. Vanilla flavor with strong alcohol. Short finish.
Kinda harsh for what it is. I can taste the Añejo aspects, but....
Mexican 35% abv. bottling, lote: L18127MC38L17K1, bottled on 07-05-2018. Transparent añejo that doesn’t state cristalino anywhere on the labels, but it does state añejo cristalino on the marbete QR. Aroma: at first it is not very expressive, 20 minutes in the glass creamy vanilla shows up, becomes softer and smoother, behind the vanilla notes I can smell the bitterness of the alcohol. Palate: smooth, almost like water, light vanilla note. Finish is short, very light creamy vanilla note slowly fades away…
Vanilla aroma. Sweet and slightly pepper flavor. Easy, light finish.
Notes of alcohol, that is it. The aromas were stripped in the charcoal filtering. I had high expectations as I love the Extra Añejo, but was very disappointed. However, tasting other cristalinos in the market, it seems it is common to strip away all the good stuff. Hence the reason for additives such as vanilla. Definitely would go for an Herradura or Don Julio 70 if looking for a better cristalino.
Solid! Good taste & finish
Blind taste !
