Must have purchased all 3 of Alderete’s bottles years ago; finally decided to open the Anejo; Once I dusted off the bottle, right away you notice the deep, amber color of the tequila through he clear bottle; once uncorked, you really receive a strong, fragrant scent of caramel; 1st sip was shallow, but as I let the glass aerate, a much heavier, buttery tequila was pleasant across the palette; on the backend, I was left with a nice taste of lingering butterscotch; Since I don’t recall purchasing, I can’t definitively say that this was a good value; I’m guessing that I paid approximately $50.00, and that’s not a bad deal;

A well-balanced tequila with cooked agave, oak and hints of citrus and vanilla.
