The nose is very vegetal with a funky spice, mint and smoke aroma. Taste is fruity, sweet, spicy and vegeative. Some heat on the way out, and not bad overall.
Aroma: mocha, coffee, earth, wood, and agave. Palate; spices, agave , oak wood, nuts, coffee. Finish is long with coffee taste, dark chocolate, and spices. It finish a little bitter for an Añejo.
Loads of pepper and vanilla, it feels like it’s going to be too thin to stick with you long but it hung on for a medium finish. Can’t ask much more of an Añejo at this price point, this is a gem for the bargain bin!
TBY talks to Manuel García Villegas, General Director of Tequilas del Señor, on introducing tequila to new countries and remaining small to ensure quality.
The initial waft is of autoclave nuttiness and floral tones, complemented by the aroma of delicious cooked agave. A subtle presence of light ethyl, and old leather jacket funk, adds depth, while a slight astringent wisp adds to bouquet. Upon the first sip on the the palate I get the taste of grassy agave, almond nuttiness, vibrant green citrus, and a delightful hint of raspberry. The medium-toned ethyl and a subtle touch of white pepperiness contributes to the experience. The fading notes are a graceful departure, with lingering citrus and minerality transitioning into blueberry tones. The endurance of grassy agave, coupled with a refreshing hint of green grapes, adds to the layers. Warming the chest without a scathing burn, the overall taste is delicious, accompanied by the distinct note of High Pressure Autoclave sourness. An overall appreciative taste.
