EH Taylor barrel: The aroma opens with a bright medley of fruity notes—red apple skin and pear take the lead, rounded out by whiskey, orange citrus, cacao, and a faint touch of ethyl. Hints of butterscotch and cooked agave emerge subtly, adding warmth and sweetness. On the palate: cacao takes center stage, complemented by baked apple with warming spices and delicate pear. Whiskey and wood lend depth, while salted caramel, pepper, and vanilla create a gourmand profile that induced salivation. A soft floral note weaves throughout. The finish lingers beautifully, with a dry down of whiskey, pepper, and dried fruit. Fading notes of medicinal caramel—possibly from the wooden saturation—leave a gentle warmth, accented by wafts of apple on the breath. Altogether, this composition feels perfectly suited to the winter season, with a cinnamon spiciness and comforting richness that evoke the joy of holiday traditions. A taste for cozy moments by the fire.
Local single barrel store pick. I expected it to be crap, but it wasn't bad at all. Not very complex, but very drinkable at a decent price.
Expected more after tasting Reposado. Aroma, flavor and finish trends into chemical or astringent
Meh, it’s alright but I feel like they should have stopped with the repo. Really hot and chemically finish, not an easy let down for your tongue.
This tasting notes review is based on five separate tastings on using both Riedel tequila flute and Glassique Cadeau tequila copita glasses. Like the Corazón de Agave Single Estate Reposado, the añejo’s aroma profile is quite understated. On the first tasting on 2 October with no resting there was a waft of alcohol with a sweetness that was a mix of cooked agave with light sweet baking spices, caramel, vanilla, oak/barrel spices, light white pepper, and a distinct fruity smell like a mix of red berries and citrus. After resting in the glass for over 30 minutes, the aroma profile had opened up and were more prominent, beyond the initial alcohol, on the nose. The profile remained the same but the other aromas, aside from the alcohol, had become more discernible. The alcohol was still there but it was no longer as overpowering as it was right after the bottle was cracked open. On the palate with no resting the añejo had a lighter mouthfeel, though it did briefly coat the mouth (and continues to have a short-lived mouthfeel). The sip started with a light hit of cooked agave and sweet baking spices, caramel, vanilla, and the fruity/citrusy sweetness from the nose followed by a hit of pepperiness and alcohol heat/warming in the mouth and throat. There was also a slight hint of anise-like/vegetal bitterness on the backend with a light smokiness and some oak influence/barrel spice from the aging process. The flavor profile was and remains rather subtle and understated, more so than some añejos. After resting for over a half hour in the glass, the light mouthfeel remained with a relatively short finish after swallowing a sip. The flavor profile remained the same as before it rested with the cooked agave and sweet baking spices, fruity sweetness with citrus, pepperiness, a very slight hint of anise and oak tannin short-lived bitterness, ending with a nice warming sensation on the tongue after swallowing a sip. On subsequent tastings, the waft of alcohol from the aroma profile was significantly less than on the neck pour. The most prominent aromas were/are of fruit (like juicy red berries, raisins, and figs with citrus), light caramel and vanilla, light cooked agave and sweet cinnamon and other baking spices, light pepper, and a hint of oak influence. The palate continues to have a light mouthfeel, briefly coating the palate before dissipating pretty quickly. It did and continues to coat the glass well. The flavor profile remains largely the same, though the alcohol hit seems to get stronger the lower the bottle gets, which isn’t unusual. The fruit-forward flavors remain prominent. There continues to be a light hint of smokiness.
Corazon Anjeo, Single Barrel, Aged in Blantons Bourbon Barrels Overall: A steal at $45, this Blantons Single Barrel anjeo exudes light bourbon characters without loosing its agave oots. A home run. Extra points for affordability. Aromas: Natural vanilla, honey, and carmel. Almost a creme brulee quality with a carmelized sugar notes. Strawberry, tart raspberry fruits and faint carmelized banana. A pleasant and balanced mix of nutmeg, cinammon spice, and toasted oak. The nose is light and complex. Taste: Buttery with a splash of warm cinnamon spice. Initial hit of light sugar cookiensweetness that moves immediately into a velvety carmelized caramel and hazelnuts. Light vanilla mix with a toasted oak and delicate fruits. This is a surprising complex anjeo from Corazon. The Barrel aging is done right special. Finish: A long, mildly rich vanilla, carmel, and spicy mouthfeel.
aroma: ethano and agave sweetness taste: cooked agave, oak,and pepper. finish: lingering oak spice with a slightly sweet undertone.
1792 Barrel aged
Toasted coconut, citrus and oak in the aromas. Butter, cooked agave and tangerine peel in the taste. Finishes with Butterscotch, leather and wood shavings.
Great on the nose and palate. Corozon has some excellent tequilas
This is a single barrel finished in Weller Barrels. This is a pineapple bomb and while I’ve tried other Corazon single barrels, this is exceptional to me even if there are additives.
L091120C2, bottled on 180121, tasted on 10-6-23. Color: dark yellow to light brown. Aroma: cooked agave, light caramel balanced with slight acidity, citrus, light pepper, alcohol sensation is low. Light wood notes. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, good sweet sour & acidic balance. Finish is medium to medium long, cooked agave with light caramel balanced with acidic notes persist.
Soft aroma, hints of alcohol, vanilla and butter. Medium-thin mouthfeel. Pepper and alcohol upfront with just a hint of sweet agave on the back; bit of a scotch or whiskey character. Warm and peppery through the medium finish.
Not a significant nose on this but not bad either. Price at 33 bucks this has a good flavor with vanilla, barrel and caramel but little agave. Bottom line a nice sipper at the price point would recommend at under 33 dollars. Much higher than this snd too many other great options that would drop this rating in comparison.
Aroma: caramel, oak, slight agave Taste: slight agave, mostly caramel, light vanilla Finish: pretty short, again mostly caramel with slight agave notes Overall: if you can find it in the sub $40 range I think it would be a solid budget sipper. The agave presence is slight but still there
Clean, smooth agave taste with little citrus or other additives to detract from the pure tequila experience
Caramel
This is a great tequila for the price. Very smooth with a great butterscotch and caramel flavor.
Nice barrel influence. Oak, light caramel and vanilla with faint key lime.
Buttercream frosting on the nose but thankfully not on the palate. Light woody flavor and other typical tequila notes
I prefer the Reposado of this to the Anejo. It's an ok tequila overall but doesn't stand up to most Anejos.
Pretty one note all over. Was hoping to get more character through the process of tasting but left wanting. Barrel only shows it’s face on the finish.
nose was alright, didnt enjoy the taste of this anjeo, expected much more complexity, not just the one note it offers up. suprisingly, the finish was nice! think ill stick to the Blanco and Anejo!

This Single Estate Añejo version was aged in a single E.H. Taylor bourbon barrel. The aroma is caramel, orange, citrus, oak and whiskey, with a hint of cooked agave. The flavor is caramel, black pepper, citrus, oak, whiskey, cooked agave and a touch of floral. A pleasant, long finish. Would go well with a cigar after dinner. Excellent value at Costco.
