$60 in San Francisco Aroma: 23 Cooked agave blast on the nose. Vanilla, oak, and sweetness follow shortly. Mild herbal touches of chamomile and floral rose. Very pleasant. Palate: 27 Great mouth feel and body. Vanilla cooked agave with a slight pepper spice mixed in. Cherry, peach, dried fruits, and delicate floral elements. Finish: 22 Medium length with good flavor Value: 8 $60 for a flavorful Anejo seemingly designed for bourbon lovers is a great deal Reminds me a lot of Insolito Anejo. Great for bourbon lovers like myself
The next SENS sweet agave with a slight hint of pine. I get honey and vegetal notes. I get a bit of yeast on the nose. This is fruity. On the palate I get the sweet agave. A little alcohol forward that buries some of the flavors. I get minerals and earthiness. Good finish with a little too much alcohol. This is good but nothing special.
Nose: sweet agave cooked / vanilla/ caramel/ oak / earth / cinnamon/ banana / hint of citrus / tea / nutmeg/ maple / cream soda Taste: agave cooked / pepper / vanilla/ caramel / oak / earth / banana/ citrus / molasses/ maple / tea / nutmeg / cream soda Finish: medium viscosity mouthfeel gives a nice gentle texture that holds some of the more bitter and peppery notes / the sweetness falls away quickly and for the most part the most lingering notes are agave, vanilla, and pepper. This anejo is balanced and has a somewhat harmonious taste profile, only the tastes just aren’t bold. This is an enjoyable pour, but there’s just not any specific stand out flavors or aromas.
1584 tepozan anejo I've had the flight of tepozan for a couple yrs now. finally opened it tonight nose: vanilla caramel palate: vanilla caramel, more oak on palate than nose this was my favorite of the 3 tepozan expressions I tried
1584 tepozan repo I've had the tepozan flight unopened for a couple years. finally opened them tonight nose: caramel vanilla barrel spices palate: somewhat like the nose; a little flat finish: alittle flat too nose is better than palate. may be better in cocktails than sipping
As the fastest growing spirit in the U.S., tequila has overcome its bad rap as the cheap, college hangover culprit, while simultaneously breaking into a fixated market, where vodka and whiskey previously reigned. What propelled this shift?
Tepozán Tequila is produced with a steadfast commitment to the traditional method of tequila-making using only the highest-grade, mature blue agave, natural yeast and volcanic filtered well-water from Master Distiller Don Carlos’ estate.
The aroma opens with bold notes of oak and wood, underlined by cherry, whiskey, and cooked agave. A subtle minerality and bright orange citrus provide a refreshing balance, while cocoa lingers softly in the background. There's a distinct yeast funk and a barrel influence that I’ve encountered in other brands. On the palate, this is remarkably easy to drink despite its complexity. Woody tones dominate alongside burnt caramel and cocoa, with whiskey notes blending into the profile. Orange citrus, cinnamon, and black pepper add lively contrast, while hints of pickle brine and yeasty undertones offer an unexpected layer. Cooked agave, reminiscent of prunes, mingles with dried fruit, creating a harmonious, albeit unique, depth. The finish delivers a lingering spice with black pepper and whiskey standing out. Burnt caramel adds sweetness, while grapefruit clings vibrantly to the roof of the tongue. A subtle trace of petrichor makes for a pleasant close.
