Tasted at Sip Tequila Fest I absolutely love the profile on this exceptional blend coming out of the Tequileña distillery. The Cabernet influence is apparent, this anejo is quite fruity. I found plum, apple, grape, honey, and dark chocolate. In addition to the wine barrel aging, white American oak is added to the blend which brought out flavors of vanilla, caramel & a hint of nuttiness. The finish was a bit tannic & drying, but lasted for quite some time. As much as I like this delicious wood driven anejo, the price has been steadily creeping up. If you’re willing to fork out the inflated price, go for it.
Second tasting/6 mo open - Beautiful nose: banana, lemon peel, nice toasted citrus notes, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, some wood notes, just a bouquet of beautiful harmony of summer & winter notes. On pallet: nice pepper spice, barrel influence very apparent right away with vanilla/caramel notes, in the middle some of the fruit comes through, im getting light banana, very reminiscent of a tootsie roll, sweet/dark notes. Delicious mouth feel, med-long finish, great sipper if you see it.
Nose: agave / pepper / earth / butter / oak / banana / hay / tea / hint of tobacco / old leather/ whiskey Taste: agave cooked sweet/ caramel/ pepper/ hint of cinnamon/ spearmint/ hint of lime / orange peel / tea / baking spice / molasses/ alcohol Finish: the tastes of vanilla and pepper combine into a bittersweetness that rides on the watery clean mouthfeel. A small amount of alcohol burn on the last swallow. This anejo has some good flavor notes, but the bitterness and alcohol finish take this down a couple notches.
Really enjoyed this anejo. Well balanced between the agave and the barrel notes. Nose: cooked agave, oak, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, chocolate, fruity, and some cherry. Palate: cooked agave, oak, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, and chocolate. A great anejo and a must have on the shelf.
Not the biggest fan of extra anjeos but this has so much flavor and great mouth feel that it is definitely worth it.
