Caramel, cinnamon, light vanilla, funky nose opens up. Light sweetness, barrel notes and cooked agave.
Beautiful honey golden brown color in the beautiful bottle - on nose: amazing, honey, lemon, caramel, agave, an awesome balance of sweet/rich/floral notes + some light barrel notes but nothing over powering, this is a valor anejo competitor on the nose. On the pallet, its a bit light/thin, but tasty agave, honey, lemon notes again, /some baking spice, all in all awesome juice, i wish it was a hp/more oily mouthfeel personally, but still a very good buy if you even see it! Solid sipper
This was a sample bottle sent to me by Valor. The official bottle will be released soon and when it does I will buy that one and give this an official rating. I am a 1599 fan and Valor is one of those 1599 tequilas that I really favor, especially the blanco. Now this Anejo is in my glass and I must say my initial impression is that they have a real winner with this one. The nose has a slight touch of the 1599 funk profile but it blends so nicely with the sweet agave and barrel notes. I pick up a nice aroma of vanilla and caramel. Earth and minerality also come through The taste is so nice with just a touch of the malolactic flavor and it is wrapped in agave sweetness. I also get flavors of butter and cinnamon. Very nice mouthfeel and the finish is clean with nice viscosity. Can’t wait for this one to hit the shelves! After getting the official release, I like this even better. I bump my score up a point.
A nice reposado, baking spice, light barrel notes, not overly complicated.
