Well balanced anejo coming out of 1123 with great aromas and flavors that are not barrel heavy. Cooked agave is present with great complexity of barrel notes that follow the agave. Nose: cooked agave, cinnamon, vanilla, oak, black pepper, caramel, minerals, butterscotch, baking spice, and barrel spice. Palate: the nose follows through to the palate with the barrel spice picking up in the finish. A nice long finish of barrel spice that lingers with a great mouth fill. A fantastic anejo that comes at 94 proof!

Took a while for this to open up, nose is cinnamon, cooked agave, caramel and light barrel spice. Palate- agave, cinnamon, black pepper, barrel notes Finish - nice heat, sweat cooked agave, black pepper.

Nice barrel palate and finish

Nose: This opens with deep, rounded aromas, cooked agave wrapped in warm oak. There’s a soft hit of baking spices - clove, maybe a touch of nutmeg, and a dry peppery note. A hint of burnt sugar lingers in the background. Palate & Mouthfeel: The mouthfeel is right in the middle, it’s smooth & silky but not heavy. Cooked agave shows up first, still present despite the aging, followed by toasty oak and a confident kick of black pepper. Then comes a creamy, caramelized sweetness - crème brûlée comes to mind, with just enough richness to round things out without weighing it down. Finish: The finish, like the mouthfeel, is silky. With a warming spice and a gentle sweetness that trails off slowly. There’s no harshness - just a clean, lasting impression that invites another sip. Final Thoughts: This Añejo nails the balance between sweet, spicy, and oaky. It’s layered without being showy, and every element feels like it belongs. A straight up delicious pour.

Wild Common Anejo Lote 1: 23 barrels, buff trace, 14 months, barreled at cask strength @ 48% (angles share brought it to 47.4), #4 Char Sweet Orchard fruit like baked apple but also has some orange notes, cinnamon & honey with some sweet barrel notes. Caramel, vanilla, brown sugar. Great balance, a good punch of cooked agave. 47.4 ABV Horno cooked at NOM 1123 Deep well water This is a combination of Tahona and roller mill, S/S Fermentation with fibers and cement fermentation without fibers s/s and copper distillation. Absolutely delicious. Lote 2 will be Weller’s!!!!

Aged 1123 expressions are some of my favorites and this one is no different! Exceptional expression from Wild Common, proof is awesome on this and the mouthfeel and texture is phenomenal!

The nose is so pleasant. You get earthy valley agave with dry minerals and then caramel and baking spices from the barrel. It’s a great combo of valley agave and bourbon barrels. The flavors pop thanks to the higher proof. The baked agave is dense and earthy. There’s a nice dark peppery spice that comes from the American oak bourbon barrels and valley agaves. The agave sweetness punches through but the barrel notes kick in too. There is an excellent balance of agave, barrel and proof. This is an excellent Añejo!

Lote 1 April 2025 14 months in buffalo trace barrels, 4 char Nose is fantastic - barrel spices, caramel, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, agave, bananas, and if u leave it sitting long enough, you can get some of that anise and mint that's present in their blanco Palate is similar to the nose, with mild whiskey and oak. Finish is warm with barrel spice and mildly dry, whiskey finish Overall, this is a well-balanced, excellent anejo

Aroma: a lot of barrel- feel like I’m standing in a barrel room Flavor: a lot of barrel notes, toffee, dried fruit, stone fruit: cherry, some orange blossom-hints of leather - a little spice from the higher ABV but drinks really nicely. Finish: Wow! The longest finish- all the flavors linger on the palate- a lot of viscosity. Definitely a special sipper

This is legitimately spectacular! Tons of honey, burnt caramel, cacao/chocolate notes but the agave flavor still shines. The 47% abv provides that 1123 DNA that I love. Certainly in the conversation of best anejos I’ve tried. Very well done, Andy, Chava and team!

Thick, rich, and wonderfully complex. Raw honey, cacao, barrel spice, and cooked agave all masterfully synced in harmony. This is some of the finest tequila on earth.

Lovely aromas of agave, minerals, cinnamon, cooked apples, caramel, and oak. The higher ABV delivers a pleasant flavor punch leading with barrel spice, followed by sweet and fruity notes, finishing with a warm tingle that begs another sip. Bottling at 47% ABV was a magical decision.

A fantastic anejo from the folks at Cascahuin & Andy Bardon. First things first, I want to applaud the team for making the decision to allow this anejo to be released at an impressive 47% ABV. This anejo could have easily been watered down to a lesser ABV for one reason or another, but not here. The result is an intense, complex, dense, and viscous sipping experience. On the nose, a burst of cinnamon, caramel, cooked apple, stone fruit, and honey. Hints of a minerality here, and there is a definite intensity that the higher ABV is giving to this anejo. The palate of this anejo is a basket of fruits, with cinnamon sticks, butterscotch, berries, caramel again, vanilla, red clay, cherry and cooked down agave. The finish is my favorite part of this anejo. It just keeps going and going, with more of the fruits coming out towards the back palate. The viscosity of this juice is thick, and latched onto my palate for quite some time. Wild Common Anejo is a triumphant new entry into the aged tequila market, and I hope other brands take notice.

Bottle: LOTE 650, 210325, 1A Appearance: Golden chartreuse Initial thoughts… Nose: Cooked agave, barrel spice, black pepper Palate: Oak, toffee, dried fruit Finish: Cinnamon, molasses, tobacco Full review pending…

Instantly one of the best tequilas I’ve ever had. A high proof vanilla agave bomb. Wild Common just makes incredibly good tequila. Shoutout to Jong at High Spirits for having this (and overall the best tequila selection in NJ).

It smells incredible, sweet agave, punchy black pepper, honey, fresh green herbs, some caramel, cinnamon, and a little earthy minerality. It’s such an easy sipper full of flavor, lots of cooked agave, caramel, black pepper, dried cherries, and mint, with a little cinnamon, nutmeg, and oak. It has a nice buttery mouthfeel, and the higher proof brings a ton of flavor without a lot of ethanol burn.

Brittle, caramel, cooking spices, agave syrup. Deep and complex, barrel doesn’t cover up the agave flavor. Really beautiful.

The extra abv really balances well w/the barrel influence. It has the signature Cascahuin fingerprint but also has the barrel which elevates the 47% abv. I’m really impressed, as a blanco drinker. If this is what the barrel aged stuff is about I will buy more, haha. There is a bunch of really exceptional barrel aged stuff coming out so I have my ear to the ground so to speak, haha.

Lote 650 1-A 21/03/25 Aroma: soft delicate agave, caramel, toast, and some baking spice with a little alcohol tingle Flavor: rich toffee and caramel with some baked agave and spice notes Mouthfeel: medium to light body with a light alcohol burn on the tip of my tongue Finish: alcohol drops off quicky and the slight fruity sweetness drops off next leaving the spice and some minerality to linger Color: honey Such a smooth Añejo. It's always a treat to taste an Añejo from Cascahuín.

Really great. Great depth of flavor and balance. Texture is lush. Killer bottle.

For me, this is the PERFECT tequila. Best sip I’ve ever had. Sooooooo good. And for $90 a bottle? Freaking steal.

The whiskey aging didn't work for me... if it weren't for the decent value, id drop to an 86. Recommended, but wouldn't purchase again.

Another great sample from the Agave Swappers Facebook group—this time it’s Wild Common Añejo. Right off the bat, it’s clean and well-balanced. You get some soft oak up front, followed by warm notes of vanilla, roasted agave, and a touch of baking spice. The finish is smooth with just enough complexity to keep it interesting. Not overpowering—just a really well-done añejo that’s easy to enjoy.

damn good Añejo! I am definitely in the minority here, but I have been underwhelmed by Wild Common's Blanco and Still Strength offerings,.given the hype. they knocked it out of the park with this one though. nose of agave, minerals, caramel, cinnamon. perfect viscous, buttery mouthfeel. palate is complex and delicious. all the notes from the nose carry over with additional baking spices, brine. there's a sour note in their too. just delicious without losing any of the agave presence. short-ish finish but definitely leaves me wanting more.

Aroma: pretty agave forward with light barrel notes. I also picked up some fruit and light cinnamon. Taste: incredible is the best way to describe it. Just a total flavor bomb. Agave, a plethora of fruit, and a monster kick of peppery spice. Finish: this is where it really shines. I took my last sip and was still tasting it five minutes later. I’ve never had that happen before. Overall: holy crap this is amazing. Major round of applause for the folks at Cascahuin and Andy Bardon. Hands down my new favorite añejo, and possibly my new favorite tequila overall. I’ll be sad when I finish it, but I’ll just buy another to replace it.
