My first encounter with El Mayor was in a Cognac glass. I'm a Cognac fan and a friend tricked me into trying it as Cognac. When I discovered that it was Tequila I was surprised. Sweet vanilla and oak on the nose. Delicate baked Agave flavor and hint of caramel on the mid-palate. Complex, tasty, smooth and long finish. This is very good sipping Tequila.
Agave, agave, agave. On the nose, in the mouth and on the finish. Not sure it is worth the price premium over the regular El Mayor blanco but it sure is tasty. Some nice viscosity on entry is followed by roast caramelized agave and just a hint of white pepper with some mild alcohol numbing on the tip of the tongue.
Mexico’s Consejo Regulador del Tequila (CRT), or the Tequila Regulatory Council, has won the right to register ‘Tequila’ as a certification mark in the US following a legal battle with drinks group Luxco.
