The barrel really helps to smooth out the fairly harsh Blanco. This is a decent repo.
Heat! And some alcohol on the aroma. But nothing bad or fake. I would mix with this.
This is consistent with other El Mayor offerings. Similar to the regular Anjeo except it does run a little hot for a 40 proof and slightly less flavorful.
This is inexpensive, really inexpensive at an So. CA online retailer so was given + score for value. A single barrel store pick this has an underlying cinnamon note that I'm not much of a fan of in general but it doesn't overwhelm the taste or aroma to the point of being one note. Some agave and spicy wood notes help this reposado show nice flavors and makes for a not uninteresting experience from this brand that has a bit of history in the market. Noticable ethanol brings a fairly long finish to the mouth and tongue with some fading sweetness.
Lou is pleasantly surprised with El Mayor Añejo, especially for the price. See his video review.
