As others have said, it's a pretty bottle on my bar shelf. The color was quite dark amber compared to many other añejos. Aroma of cooked agave, oak, caramel and barrel spice. Flavor of cooked agave, black pepper, caramel, oak and barrel spice. There was a hint of Additive sweetness. Finish is medium and pleasant. The price I got may bump up the value.
In the aroma, the presence of oak is pronounced, accompanied by notes of molasses, roasted nuts, and a distinct alcohol/ethyl sting in the nostrils. Subtle undertones of vanilla, butterscotch, yeast funk, and earthiness add depth to the olfactory experience. Upon tasting, the palate is enveloped by flavors of oak, caramel, and honey, with hints of orange citrus, whiskey, and barrel spice. The addition of candied yam contributes to the overall concentration of flavors, while a creamy body and acidity provide a luxurious mouthfeel. A toasted flavor profile is complemented by intermittent wafts of alcohol. The finish has a lingering sweetness reminiscent of honey and citrus, accompanied by a subtle peppery sensation that enhances the overall palate experience. Despite its presence, the pepperiness is not overwhelming, allowing the sweetness to persist gently on the palate.
Good aroma, nothing else.
Long Island Lou does a video review of Corralejo Blanco.
In the face of yet another agave shortage, one that has lasted for several years, Tequila has, against all odds, remained resilient. Sustainability of the category’s key agricultural product has long been a recurring problem for the industry.
The Tequila Circuit will take place in the Penjamo municipality, southeast of Guanajuato. The route includes stops at the Tequilera Corralejo Hacienda, El Rancho San Fernando, El Rancho Coyote and Bodegon de la Dolce Cita.
The three new ultra-premium tequilas from Fraternity Spirits include: Corralejo Reposado 1810; Corralejo Extra Añejo 1821; Corralejo Silver 1753.
This year the list is peppered with 100% agave brands that talk of terroir, single estates and tahona wheels. Now recognised selling points, these would have been confusion points in years gone by.
