NOM 1173 Some flavors of caramel and oak, but otherwise overpowered by artificial sweetness. Taste and texture seems very thin and watery, and the finish is short and sweet. That is: short, and sweet like cotton candy. Stay away.
Is there anything Kirkland doesn’t do well? Loads of agave from start to finish, that’s not the norm for Anejo’s and a nice surprise. Heavy oak on the back end that reminds me of a port or dessert wine, not something to begin the evening with.

Even more exciting is the price: a 1 liter bottle will only set you back $23.99. What a steal!
NOM 1142 Aroma is alcoholic and the taste is medicinal. There is some cooked agave though, and the texture is a bit better than the Añejo. 1.75L for $20 isn't bad though.
