Aroma: Baking spices, with some hints of honey and dried apricot. Taste: A mix of spices like nutmeg with some cinnamon, coupled with oak. Finish: Starts smooth, with all the same flavors from the taste accentuated with more spiciness, but then it has a bit of a bitter funk in the aftertaste, one that lingers longer than any of the other flavors. Overall: For an XA, it’s a great value. Has a unique taste that is worth a try, but the somewhat strange bitter aftertaste can be off-putting.

This XA flies under the radar. It doesn’t have the tequila prestige that a Don Julio 1942 or a JC Reserva de la Familia has BUT for the price it is comparable. The nose has sweet cooked agave notes. There is also notes of caramel, vanilla and slight oak. I taste oak, cooked agave and a mineral sweet and smooth finish. Add this tequila to your sipping collection.

Spicy, funky and oaky. Some bitterness on the finish.

Sweet caramel flavor

A flavorful añejo with a strong finish. One of the best.

I like this tequila, I like the smell, caramel with a hint of agave. It has a smooth finish. I would drink this tequila again.

Forgettable. Not terrible though.

I expect more from an extra Anjeo. Most of the heavy alcohol that dissipates during aging is still present here. It’s not bad as far as most tequilas go but for the price there are much better bargains to be had.

Found this bottle at total wine. Was going to get a bottle on Don Julio 1942 and was recommended this instead. Not bad, but not quite 1942... don't know what to think about it... I have drank 1942, but don't have a bottle on hand to do a double blind taste test. I guess until then.
