Ran across this in the bowling alley bar. Aroma of caramel,cooked agave, oak and butter. Flavor of cooked agave, black pepper, caramel and oak. Not much finish. Good value, though.

Nose: Pickle Brine, Cotton, Carmel, Butter, Astringent, Earth Mouthfeel: Medium Bodied Palate: Black Pepper, Alcohol, Chapstick, Artificial sweetness Finish: Artificial Carmel Syrup, Ammonia I smell what the rock is cooking and I am not a fan. It's not the worst of the additive laden, celebrity tequilas I've had but it's still far below the typical standard of what I reach for. There were a lot of artificial notes and flavors here, which seem to show up on my palate as resembling a lip balm flavor of what it's supposed to taste like.. Not as bad as the Casamigos, but still a far cry from anything that I'd call a respectable tequila.
The aroma offers a bouquet of heavy caramel, light oak, whiskey, butterscotch, and potent vanilla ice cream, with a subtle hint of ethyl. The agave note is muted but discernible. On the palate, the flavor profile includes cooked agave with a prune note, butterscotch, alcohol, whiskey, and pepperiness. Distinct oakiness, quickly passing candied yam, subtle fruitiness, and a pronounced doctored sugariness, which I find unappealing, are also present. The finish bounds with ultra sweetness that lingers throughout. Light oak, mild spice, minimal salinity, and a pepperiness that tingles without being harsh leading to a lasting whiskey tone. The overall sweetness is excessive, reminiscent of drinking liquid butterscotch and vanilla extract.
Mild agave and oak with plenty of sweetness and artificial cotton candy and cake batter. This could be a good fit for someone new to tequila and love very sweet things. There are better options for those more experienced with tequila.
Teremana anejo Nose vanilla caramel oak chocolate alcohol, maybe a little cherry Taste agave lots of pepper, black and white pepper, pickles heat Nose is much sweeter than taste. Not pleasant tasting at all. A lot of heat/alcohol on the finish

Light amber in the glass. Aroma of cooked agave, butter, citrus, vanilla and a hint of oak. Flavors are similar with a medicinal flavor as well. Finish doesn't last long.
