Did not like this Anejo at all. Friend shared it, it figures it was a Total Wine suggestion/pick. Artificial, bland, no real agave notes. Found out afterward it’s diffuser of course.
Has that distinct diffuser smell to it, although not as strong as some others. Also has yeast, tails and mint aromas. If you didn’t know this was tequila you may have confused it with a white wine based on the aroma. Kinda weird.
Acrid, astringent nose with no agave presence. Flavor is on par with nose, plus add a little tar, pitch and chemical bitterness. Another tequila that I honestly could not swallow. Yuk.
Rated blind. This has a strong chemical-like defect aroma, then covered up with some type of sour green apple additive. No thanks.
