Pueblo Viejo Añejo

82 SCORE

“An aroma that is predominantly full of spices, with a minute hint of mint. The hue is a bit on the lighter side for an añejo. It has a bite (not terrible, but still there), but you still taste flavors of pepper, vanilla, and floral aspects thoroughout. Oak element is minimal and the finish is quick. Blink and you miss it, but there is something there. Unfortunately I was unable to properly classify it.”

Los Trejos Añejo

85 SCORE

“The aroma lacks a bit, but this is the definition of a smooth añejo. Brown sugar and spice are key flavor elements of this tequila. A must try for any tequila snob.”

Casa Vieja Añejo

76 SCORE

“Pungent aroma with a flavor profile consisting of vanilla, cinnamon, and other light spice notes. Good value for the price.”

San Matias Gran Reserva (US)

88 SCORE

“Beautiful amber color with a decent aroma. Silky smooth flavor with strong spices and an extravagant (decadent bourbon-like) finish.”

Excellia Añejo

56 SCORE

“Herbal and fruit aromas overpowered by alcohol. Strong pepper flavor with an average finish. For the price, a weak añejo overall.”

t1 Añejo Estellar

85 SCORE

“This is a good tequila in many aspects. Decent aroma with a strong burn and very high oak throughout. Honey and honeydew flavors...with a small hint of apricot (I know, but that's my judgment and I'm sticking with it).”

Corrido Extra Añejo

77 SCORE

“A bit of butterscotch and vanilla on the nose, with an over-powering heat that degrades the flavor slightly. I was able to pick up pepper and sweet fruit along with several spices. As for the finish, from my perspective, it disappoints (for an extra añejo).”

Tonala #4 Extra Añejo

94 SCORE

“The sherry wood gives this tequila a very cognac-like aroma. The body is wonderful, with spice and a very distinct smoked agave flavor (most likely from the bourbon barrel it's aged in). The finish is very sweet, with traces of honey and a slight hint of caramel.”

Tres Agaves Añejo (Organic)

85 SCORE

“This is a surprisingly elegant tequila with many extra añejo characteristics. The flavor is full of spice, orange and nutmeg. The finish is rather superb, with agave and light caramel persisting after the fact.”

Riazul Añejo

94 SCORE

“Honey and vanilla on the nose, with a rather pleasant flavor pallete (caramel, hazelnut and slight cinammon). Finish is superb, with a lasting effect that is very Brandy like.”

Pavoneo Añejo

18 SCORE

“A poor añejo with a non distinct aroma, below average flavor (for an añejo) and a weak finish. Awful all around.”

Tanteo Cocoa

45 SCORE

“This is a Coco infused "dessert" tequila that excels in aroma (it's infused and hence unnatural aroma for a tequila). The flavor is awful, unless paired with a sweet dessert. Finish is practically nonexistent.”

Puro Verde Reserva Extra Añejo

97 SCORE

“Superb aroma...floral, Caribbean fruit and honey notes. The flavor is rather complex, but a must experience for any tequila snob. The finish is sweet, with strong aged oak from beginning to end.”

Dulce Vida Añejo

66 SCORE

“This is an unusually strong tequila (100 proof) and hence traditional tasting methods don't work. The aroma is potent (not in a good way), but for those with a good nose, it'll be easy to sniff several types of spices (easiest being vanilla). The flavor is difficult to decipher, but the finish is quite pleasant.”

Don Roberto Añejo (Clear Label)

90 SCORE

“Light in color for an añejo, but it has quite an exquisite aroma for a tequila in this price range. The flavor is good, but it doesn't match the aroma. Easy on the frontal palette, with fruit and almond notes. Finish is light, but it suits this tequila.”

Don Diego Santa Añejo

75 SCORE

“Aroma is lackluster, but once in your mouth, that is where this tequila shines. Thick texture, with strong floral and vanilla flavors.”
