Oak and caramel aromas, coupled with bread pudding, cinnamon, and apple pie. Flavors of caramel, oak, baking spices, and a sweet burst of brown sugar. Not too complex, but also quite sweet. Some agave on the finish, with enduring notes of cinnamon flan, with an underlying, somewhat acute sweetness.

This is an excellent Highlands / El Alto Añejo that has been aged for 24 months in charred American white oak whiskey barrels. The nose is sweet and fruity which I’ve come to expect from agave forward Highland tequilas. The cooked agave is nice and buttery while the fruitiness has notes of dark stewed fruits. There are some light barrel tannins and spices coming from the oak barrel. There’s some faint minerality coming from their masonry horno and massive stone tahona. I taste the buttery cooked agave, natural agave sweetness, fruit and barrel notes all at once. It’s a well balanced Anejo that has many delicious notes. The alcohol gives a nice tingle and slightly spicy finish. Although there are many flavors the tequila still rests easy on the palate with a nice medium body.

More oak forward than agave. Agave, cherry and chocolate ( like a cordial), butterscotch and pepper on the finish.

Agave and oak forward…., some fruitiness…… butterscotch on the mouth and agave

On the nose, cooked agave and that same grassy note from the blanco, but more rounded. Some caramel and sweetness. Almost a chocolate note, more like cacao and hazelnut. On the palate, sweet cooked agave and caramel. That chocolate/hazelnut note comes through very clearly. Cinnamon, some vanilla and either a clove or allspice, something like that. All around competent añejo.

I like it a lot. It builds nicely off the repo. Nice legs on the glass and retains some agave on the nose but makes way for wood and barrel notes. Delicious caramel and vanilla notes shine through on the palate. Very pleasant and easy to sip.

Blind rating: 2/4/2024 score of 89. Previous rating of 87. Aroma: butterscotch, apricot, mango, pear, orange blossom honey, oak, with a hint of dry brush, and cooked agave. Flavor: pear, green apple, honey, lavender, cardamom, orange creamsicle, hint of oak and coffee bitterness. Finish: short with almost no burn. Texture is a bit on the oily side. Great value.

Oak, caramel, cherry or blackberry, and chocolate highlight this 24-month aged Añejo, which also sports nice legs and an attractive price.

Anejo batch #: A230419 40% Aroma hits first with dark cherry, earth, cooked pineapple and agave. Some vanilla and caramel. Wow, more pepper hits the tongue with the anejo than with the blanco and reposado. The heat gives way to a whiskey spice, chocolate, very ripe tropical fruit. The oak is there, but not overpowering. Andes Candie's on the finish. Buttery mouth feel, medium long finish. Even though the price recently jumped from $46 to $60/bottle, it is still a bargain anejo

Aroma : Cooked agave, mild fruitness and spices. Also some honey and light oak. Taste : More cooked agave, vanilla and oak. Some pine as well, the fruity notes here bear some resemblance to cherries. Finish : Medium in length with some oak, vanilla, agave and a little spice. This tequila is fair bodied with a mouth feel that's somewhat oily. Smooth and fairly complex. I'm a fan.

As a blanco and XA fan, I don’t normally gravitate to the añejo, but this expression of the Suerte line is excellent. It’s complex, yet refined. Strong cooked agave, oak, toffee and butterscotch to the palate. Its earthy and caramel-y in the middle with hints of apple and cherry. The smooth finish has a leather feel and is viscous. Really amazing expression.

Tasted at a cata hosted by Clayton Szczech. This guy is great! Nose: Tons of vanilla, almond, dark cherry, pineapple and citrus. Earthy agave notes. Flavors: Punchy barrel spice. Whisky forward entrance that acquiesces to agave, citrus and fruit flavors. Creamy but packs a pepper wallop.

Old rating.. Melon and piloncillo aroma and flavor- what's not to love!? I think this is an old bottle though so I'm not sure if current bottles are the same. Update- just got a new bottle and it's even better! More oily.

fruity nose, strawberries and cantaloupe melon. sweet arrival, black tea and a little rosemary herbal finish.

golden floral nose. deep butter, nuts and caramel. soft up front, eases into oak, butter and light sweet. excellent!

Tasted blind Nose - Oak and caramel along with barrel spice Taste - Barrel spice with some agave sweetness Finish - Short sweet finish

Aroma: cooked agave, sweet fruit, spice. Barrel taste, slight dryness finish.

Aroma= Pumpkin pie Flavor= Oak with a sweet dry finish

Aroma of chocolate and pepper. Flavor is smooth and slightly sweet to start with heat and spice coming on later. Finish is not nearly intense or complex as the blanco or the repo. After incredible performances by both the blanco and repo the anejo just doesn't stand at the same level.

The signature sour aroma found in the blanco and reposado are not present in the añejo (which is kind of a shame, because I was really enjoying that part of it). Butter and cinnamon on the nose make this variety appear to be from different blancos. (Since this is a new brand, it's understandable that this could be the case.) The finish is very dry, spicy and a little rough in spots. Not a bad añejo, but it isn't nearly as fun as the previous two.

This is one fine sipper and for $47 it can play double duty as a mixer. Nose is caramel, vanilla, oak, and spices. Tasted blind and out of six Anejo's scored 3rd. On the palate it drinks like a more expensive Anejo and has oak barrel notes with caramel, vanilla, white pepper and citrus. Liquid dessert in a bottle!

Aroma : agave, fruity and peppery Taste: pepper and toasted oak The finish is spicy and smooth

Nose: pleasing butterscotch and toffee notes Palate: well balanced cooked agave and toffee Finish: smooth with a mild burn Suerte is a great value across all their expressions, and this anejo makes a great addition to any serious collection of agave spirits.

Out with friends - full review pending follow-up sipping…. :)

I let this air out for about 20 minutes. First smell seemed more alcohol forward. So I let it breathe. Nose is white oak, sweet agave, some honey. Taste: sweet, white pepper, cinnamon, banana, oak, slightly minerally, cooked agave. Finish is smooth. Has some heat, but as you breathe out, it’s sweet and oak just take over. Very pleasant & excellent sipper.
