El Tesoro Extra Añejo

89 SCORE

“Nose: Sweet aroma including agave, caramel, chocolate, sweet melon, pineapple Palate: Very soft oak presence for an XA.. El Tesoro is really showcasing the agave profile in this extra añejo expression leading to a wonderful balance. Think vanilla, caramel, cooked agave, crème brûlée, and a touch vegetal. Finish: Clean and lingering. A lot of minerality and raw agave. Overall a wonderful expression of an XA. A true enthusiast extra añejo showcasing the original agave spirit and not overdoing the barrel influence. Quality bottle, only downside being recent price increases. Batch: A-019 ”

“One of the best value bottles on the shelf. Lots of agave, a citrusy undertone, and a touch of minerality. Very flavorful and low heat. ”

El Tesoro Tequila Añejo

85 SCORE

“(Batch A019) Nose: Agave heavy, minty, peppery, pineapple. Palate: Cooked agave, oak, cedar wood, vanilla, butterscotch Finish: Decent finish, vegetative, agave forward. Overall showcases a nice agave profile staying true to the spirit. However the taste and finish were a bit underwhelming compared to similar añejo tequilas. ”
