Tapatio Añejo

84 SCORE

“Tasting notes- neat Nose: wood, vanilla, butterscotch Taste: peppery, vegetal, bit of astringency on the palate Finish: bright Rocks: Nose: oak, vanilla, cream, butterscotch Taste: agave, pepper, vanilla, creamy Finish: pretty smooth, lingers with a bit of sweetness This has been described as an Añejo which still has some youthful vibrancy. It seem a have the rounded edges, a bit of oak, vanilla, etc. of an Añejo but some of the pepper, a bite of bite, vegetal and agave notes of a joven or young reposado. It also seems to be made in a fairly traditional way, tahoma, roller-mill, open vat fermentation on fibers, copper still distillation, which seems to bring a bit of authenticity to the party. Not the smoothest, sweetest, oakiest, or most interesting Añejo on my bar, but it has a place ”

Qui Tequila Platinum Extra Añejo

79 SCORE

“Crystal extra Añejo. It’s ok. Currently the only crystal extra Añejo on my bar. Notes of wood, tabaco and pepper which one would find in an extra Añejo. A bit more astringent than others EA’s I’ve tried. Not my number one go to, but the bottle was a gift and I’ll enjoy it.”

El Tesoro Tequila Reposado

82 SCORE

“Tasting straight first: a bit of alcohol on the nose. Spicy/pepper then a bit of floral and warmth from the wood. On a single cube: a bit less alcohol. Still a spicy/peppery bite. I’ve had many better and many worse reposados for sipping. 3.5 stars not a super fan especially for the price. Overrated. ”

Casamigos Tequila Añejo

75 SCORE

“Tasted neat: Could be my non-standard tasting glass (wine glass is what I have handy). Nose was pretty strong ETOH. Taste seems spicy almost peppery and sharper. (A significant departure from the somewhat smoother “toasted marshmallow” notes of the CA Reposado. After about 5 mins. The ETOH nose has drawn off. On the rocks: the nose seems almost like a vanilla custard. It’s ok but not it won’t find a place on my bar among my añejos. A bit of a disappointing experience as I have almost always have their good (all be it a bit more unusual) in reposado on my bar. I will however give it a second chance with a better tasting vessel, the brand deserves that. —- Follow-up tasting - better, more of a burned marshmallow taste note. An ok Añejo, I’d drink it again. -B”

Revolucion Añejo Cristalino

“I know the crystal process (stripping the color) from the Añejo is used, but missed the presence of the wood. It tasted fine, but overpriced in my opinion. I prefer their extra Añejo and Añejo to their crystal.”
