Nose: Oak forward with cooked agave peeking through, followed by caramel, dried fruit, orange zest, and a touch of black pepper. Everything’s in there, but it’s kind of tangled. It takes a little patience to pull apart the layers. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a slick texture. On the palate there is nothing off putting, but nothing exciting either. Oak, vanilla & caramel sweetness, some generic barrel spice, and a bit of agave. It’s all there, just dialed down and blended into a pretty basic profile. Finish: Short and soft. Sweetness lingers briefly with a flash of barrel spice, then it’s gone. Final Thoughts: This is a no frills, easygoing Añejo. Definitely not for the complexity chasers, but it’s inoffensive and decent enough to hand to a casual whiskey drinker who’s just dipping a toe into tequila. Not something I’d seek out, but I get its lane.

Thanks Adrianne and Paul! A nice surprise. This one is pretty good. From aroma to finish it’s solid. Aroma is nice and light with some agave and normal barrel flavors. The taste is good with agave and light sweetness. I like the pepper on the finish.

Though allowing this to rest for fifteen minutes after opening and pouring, the aroma remains dominated by caramel intertwined with overpowering oak, prominent ethyl that scathes the nostrils, cedar, a hint of brine, and light whiskey. On the palate, I immediately perceive a near horrid medicinal caramel cough syrup flavor, accompanied by oak, light salinity, palatable peppery alcohol, baking spice, and faint orange tang. These initial overpowering notes obscure any significant traces of readily identifiable cooked agave for me. The finish trails with peppery alcohol and a persistent medicinal caramel that slightly induces salivation, accompanied by watered-down toffee, a faint lactic hint and light cooked agave with a prune note that is finally recognized.

Pleasantly surprised with this one. Not picking up any additives in the taste. A little sweetness, easy finish. A good reminder to not judge a book by its cover.

Not getting bacon grease...disappointing

strong apple on the aroma, followed by wood chips. the flavor is predominantly wood chips, sawdust and mild baking spice. good price point

Pecans and light vanilla on the nose. Sweet agave and light cherry-vanilla flavor with some wood. Good finish. I’m really liking this anejo the more I drink it.

Silly name, but a pretty sippable tequila with a decent nose and taste. B-

Smelled like bacon grease
