    “For a 14 year tequila this wasn't as oak heavy as I thought it would be. Def notes of vanilla on the forefront with oak heat on the finish. Letting it sit for 15-20 mins helped tame the heat. A few drops of water helps tame as well. ”

    “Easy to drink. Very soft on the finish. Agave notes present. I got butterscotch and caramel. Not strong by light notes. Agave and vanilla on the bouquet. Good value anejo”

    “If you want something that has fake glycerin notes def buy it. For the price point there are much much better repos”

    “Such an interesting tequila. Notes of caramel and burnt sugar on the nosing. Initial taste is caramel followed by cooked agave. Long finish. Good value for the bottle as well. Ps: revisited this a week later and feel like the caramel notes are much stronger. I still like it but maybe it's a bit too caramel heavy. Almost tastes slightly artificial”

    “Before I even review go buy this bottle. One of the best tequila I have ever had. Aged in three years in American white oak and then two years split in sherry and cognac and then blended. This is harmonious. Opens with hints of citrus and dark fruits. Initial flavor is agave followed by burnt orange and cognac notes. Long finish that interplays between the sherry and cognac notes. Amazing stuff. Finished the bottle in two days. Kept going back”

    “Aromas of peach, oak and agave. When left to air notes of ripe melon as well. Initial taste is agave, oak, melon and hints of caramel. Finishes with notes of agave, butterscotch and custard. So so good. Very smooth and Complex. Had to put the bottle away so I wouldn't drink it all”

    “Aromas of cooked agave, caramel and licorice. Initial taste is agave and oak followed by a not to sweet caramel finish. Very easy to drink and not at all sweet. ”

    “A decent prized anejo that is nothing special but isn't bad either. Aromas of caramel and agave. Initial taste is of caramel followed by weak agave notes. The finish is weak but oak and more caramel follows. I wud never say not to it but wudnt go out looking to pay for a bottle unless it was a good sale”

    “One of the best bang for buck juice out there. Aromas of citrus and fruit leads to a slightly sweet finish dominated by candy orange and earth. Buy it. ”

    “Oh my god. This was amazing. Had this in a blind tasting. Wife opened and poured me a random bottle. Smells of cooked agave and caramel hits the nose. First sip was citrus on the forefront followed by whisper of smoke and finishes strong in butterscotch, tobacco and buttery caramel. This was divine”

    “Oh so good. Inviting aromas of vanilla and cooked agaves with the slightest hint of brûlée. Taste starts with a healthy dose of agave and caramel. The finish lingers for a bit and sautéed pie spices and butter toast. Maybe cinnamon”

    “Aromas of buttered popcorn drenched in vanilla icing. It's very inviting and the on the first sip ur hit with vegetal and herbal notes. Not at all what I expected from the aromas. It did get better after I let it open up. Muted notes of caramel and vanilla was evident. Short finish but enjoyable once it opened up”

    “The very first tequila I ever had. My Roomate got it when she came back from Mexico. I recently had it again and it still had all the flavors I enjoyed. Cooked agave and hints of caramel of the forefront. Had a lackluster finish but this was very easy to drink”

    “So this ones weird for me. I had this first when it was made in the older nom and I loved it. I was also new to drinking tequila and this was smooth and easy to drink. Recently I had a comparison of both on a blind taste with tapatio and herradura anejos. The old def was better but didn't taste as good as I remembered it. Still easy to drink but no flavors stood out. The new nom was the worst in the group because it had a weird baking soda aftertaste. If u can find the older bottle grab for a collection but there are much better anejos”

    “It's an average blanco loaded with citrus but it has a weird metallic or baking soda aftertaste. It's not bad but there are better blancos for the price. Tasted blind”

    “Tried it again and I think I hate it even more now. I can't stand the weird overly caramel and lemony finish ”
