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.

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!

Nose: Ripe fruit, candied fruits and spice. Vanilla and caramel. Aged bourbon peeking through with a hint of grass and earth. Flavors: Butterscotch, caramel, agave and sweet/hot jerk seasonings. Barrel tannins and bourbon roll in next. Fairly oily with a black pepper finale. Finish: Heat and sweet - likely to please to newer aficionados.

Nose: A little hot and sharp on first pass. Then a floral note, minerals and agave evolve. Flavors: Agave, pepper and an acrid pepper bite. An undercurrent of mint, and with a little time, the bitter note rounds out, giving way to creamy sweetness.

Bourbon forward with a ton of caramel and butterscotch. Maybe some color added to this to obtain the golden color but the rub test for glycerin comes out clean. Pretty typical añejo profile and nothing offensive make this worth sipping if you can find it.

This review is not for the tequila pictured here in the app, which is an inferior tequila. You want the tall bottle - like the blanco and añejo pictured here. Nose: Ripe dark cherries, a faint peach note, caramel, light baking spices and earthy mustiness. Flavors: This starts with a big blast of black pepper and hot barrel spice with some bitterness. Some vanilla follows, cooling the palate a notch or two. There is an undercurrent of hazelnuts. Finish: Black pepper lingers and the vanilla and caramel try to meld together with the heat - but it lacks balance. Not a run of the mill sip.
