Typical Felipe masterpiece. Nice barrel influence while not overpowering the agave. A nice sipper.

Nose: agave / vanilla/ chocolate/ banana/ melon/ hint of grapefruit/ tea/ nutmeg/ hazelnut/ molasses/ cream soda Taste: cooked agave sweetness bomb / vanilla/ caramel / pepper / earth / butter / banana/ pear / orange peel / anise / tea / spearmint Finish: clean rainwater finish with lingering vanilla and chocolate notes, some pepper spiciness, followed by a fresh chocolate mint sensation This anejo brings a lot of nose and flavor to the table. The chocolate notes are so nice. The flavors are all delicious, but being in the barrel may have muted some of them. It’s a very smooth enjoyable anejo.

Apricots sizzling in butter on the aroma! Sensational flavor and a good finish. Wow. What took me so long to find this one! If you like fruity and savory, this one is for you! I’m picking up a bottle soon.

Light and balanced, slight pepper on the front rounded out with floral and herbal notes. Nothing dominates. It’s an even drink and a wonderful sipper

Very sippable strong barrel notes with a hint of peach thrown in. Not my favorite anejo but definitely with a try.

The light straw color is lighter than many reposados which we know is Felipe’s goal to minimize barrel influence and retain an agave presence which I like in aged tequilas.

Aroma, light but definite agave, burnt brown sugar, and vanilla tones. Flavor, kind of faint at first followed by burnt brown sugar, agave, wood, and anise. Finish a touch hot for its aging but overall a good sipper and sharer (meaning it's one I won't be hoarding)

Terralta Añejo lot 1 Lote: LT0001A40 (Oct 13, 2016) Date tasted: June 17, 2022 Nose: agave, fruit, peach, a little oak, pepper Taste: sweet agave, vanilla, oak, slight pepper Finish: sweet agave slight oak and pepper, warmth. very nice finish Other: This is an old bottle with about 1/4 left in the bottle. it was still very good and well balanced. Nice legs, viscosity is not too thick not watery. Just right. Another easy sipper. smell the glass when it's empty. Caramel on the nose!

On the nose, Light oak, agave, and fruit. A little bit of berries. Canteloupe, or maybe honeydew, some type of melon for sure. Beautiful aroma, one of my favorite notes and I rarely get it. On the palate, Intense flavor. Spices, minerals, agave. Definitely get the oak, definitely get the earthiness. It’s got a nice balanced sweetness, and a bit of vanilla. I swear I’m tasting almond and maybe butter, but sweet. A tiny bit of mint in the finish for me. Many people consider this the weak spot of the Terralta line but I would have to completely disagree. This is fantastic, full of flavor. I almost feel like the reposado is more subdued in comparison. The first sip was an exposition of flavor and at $51 at my local spot, I’ll keep this in stock forever.

pine, spice, apricot on nose. flavor is obviously cooked agave, oak (not overpowering), vanilla. then the cinnamon, pepper, spice. olive and slight lactic develops in finish

What a fantastic light and clean Anejo by Felipe Camarena.

Well balanced with sweet cooked agave, alcohol and light wood

Oak, honeydew, agave, vanilla, pepper, cinnamon, a touch of smoke. Medium finish with a rich coat. Excellent!

Slight oak, dry wood and spicy aroma. Ripe plum, a bit of milk candy, and some melon. Wood taste slighty overcomes the agave taste in this one, although wood taste is really balanced and not overwhelming due to the exhausted bourbon casks used to age the tequila. In the aftertaste, rich agave taste richly appears in an underlying layer: first I get cooked agave and then raw agave comes to scene. Not the average woody, vanilla and caramel taste on this one, and that is just great!

Aroma : Cooked agave and apricot predominate here. There is also some brine and light oak. Light earth as well. Taste : Light agave here with some oak. A small degree of brine here as well. Peppery with some almond and caramel. Full bodied. Finish : Long with stronger notes of an oak and caramel barrel influence.

Nose: Full on agave. Ripe peach, apricot and berries. Undercurrent of barrel spice - very light oak! Flavor: Coats your mouth with silky vanilla, almond and jerk-like spices. A nice pepper sensation. A hint of brine and cured cheese. A slight tongue numbing, satisfying finish.

Solid

This has some really nice flavor with caramel and oak along with agave spice of white pepper and moderate alcohol. Nice

I trued extremely hard to find something okay about this bottle but I simply could not. The aroma wreaks of alcohol and the aftertaste of the tequila is reminiscent of a menthol cough drop.

Very light body for an Anejo Aroma great agave, oak, fruit, & vanilla Taste: matches the aroma with pepper Finish: well balanced but not as long as I expected. Excellent value at $60 for light body Anejo

Sweet dough from the yeast.

Nose - cooked agave, oak, peach Pallet - cooked agave, brine, white pepper

Aromas: cooked agave, caramel, spices, vanilla, fruits Taste: cooked agave, pepper, toasted oak Finish: is so smooth no burn and long

Extremely light in color, very little barrel, drinks more like a reposado.

I was excited to try this tequila. It was one that I didn't have.I love this distillary. I have seen plenty of good reviews raving about it. I was looking forward to tasting it. To be honest, I was rather disappointed. It did not live up to that hype. On the nose..minerals, lots of agave, ethanol, some citrus and very weak barrel presence. The barrel did not tame it down at all. Still get a lot of ethanol on the nose and pallet. The barrels they used did not infuse this tequila with that beautiful caramel and vanilla that you would expect from a good Anejo. You can barely nose or taste it. It's there, but very weak. To my pallet, it tasted more like a Reposado. Is it good? Yes. Is it worth the money? Yes. I would rather spend $20-30 more for a proper barrel infused Anejo that doesn't take away the agave nose and flavor. Smelled my glass the next day and NOTHING there. No beautiful barrel and agave residue. This tells me that barrel influence iis very weak. I don't like a heavy whiskey barrel that overpowers the Agave, but I do love those nice sweet barrel notes of caramel, butterscotch and vanilla. The finish on this Anejo was mediocre. A good Anejo takes the agave to the edge where you get a good balance of barrel and the agave Anejo expression. I have not tried their XA, but I assume it must be like an Anejo due to the weak barrels they used for the Anejo.
