I greatly dislike Laphroaig and, as a result, I don't like this product.

Not as harmonious as other aged expressions from La Altena, using Paradiso as a reference, but enjoyed the experimental aspect of using other barrels to produce it Still a good profile, blending/barrel harmony could be perfected

Has a Malort wormwood thing going on. I’m a fan of Laphroaig and ET, but the marriage didn’t quite work out like I’d hoped. This is a pass for me

Agave, wood, barrel spice, and a light smoldering peaty twang. Moreno’s Liquors edition.

This is different but nice. Agave and loads of peattines, and caramel. Not bad.

This is very unique Anejo, single barrel / scotch Interesting notes of agave and wood, light spice. Enjoyable

Points deducted for price. ($130)

Appearance: Warm golden amber, crystal clear. Aroma: Rich agave, vanilla, caramel, with hints of oak and spices. Taste: Smooth blend of cooked agave, vanilla, toasted oak, and butterscotch, with notes of ripe fruits and almonds. Finish: Long, warm, with a sweet and spicy balance. Overall: El Tesoro Añejo is a luxurious, smooth tequila, offering a harmonious mix of traditional agave and complex flavors from oak aging. Perfect for savoring

More of a Mezcal taste and aroma to my Texas barrel.

Good amount of spice, some smoke, strong finish.

Nose. Getting musty oak. Salty ocean breeze. And olive. Taste. Taste Cooked agave. Light oak. Citrus salt and pepper. Finish nice light pepper. Peat comes threw and it’s a nice marriage with scotch casks. Sample from my Tequila God fairy.

Made for Virginia ABC Store. Very different Anejo - smokey Laphroaig taste. $100 bottle - not bad at all.

I’m usually not a fan of a heavy smokey peat flavor of certain scotches. However, this is light enough where it gives a nice subtle hint of peat to this tequila.

Wow. Tons of smoke was not expecting

A very very light colored añejo with an excellent aroma of cooked agave, earthiness, salinity and smoke. Smooth all the way through. The flavors of mild black pepper, earthiness and cooked agave are persistent. The finish has a long lingering smoky quality that is just right. Exceptional from start to finish.

What a let down. Scotch barrels and tequila must not mix well. I love mezcal but the barrel influence on this one is a big let down. Super smokey, but in the wrong direction. Points also deducted for price. I was expecting so much more. The regular anejo is a much superior drink.

Very different than the regular añejo. The Laphroaig barreling gives it a mezcal profile from start to finish, well done!

Nose- smoke, peat, anise, agave. Taste- peaty, agave with charcoal/smokiness. Hints of anise, cooked agave and Britney earthy tone. Finish- clean with outstanding cooked agave up front anise on sides of the tongue and a light pepper finish. The Smokey is a bit much and resembles a mezcal.

Unique blend of agave and scotch flavors.

Best I think I've tasted so far. Rich agave with wood, pepper, and just the right amount of smoke and mahogany.

Fantastic aroma and letting it rest for a minute after pouring makes a difference (IMHO). Great balanced flavor with a bit of spice as it goes down and a slight sweetness aftertaste. I paired a second serving with a mild cigar and it was heavenly.

simalar to the regular anajo. sweet cooked agave vanilla caramel stone fruit oak baking spices. only difference is a light smokey peaty finish. points deducted for value. old town barrel

Lightly peated, Carmel, sherry, bright citrus aromas, light/young slightly sweet cooked agave?, Casky finish. It’s certainly a tequila/scotch hybrid! With an amazing light pale honey color! Amazing how when u smell this sometimes I smell tequila, sometimes lightly peated scotch and often both together! It’s distinct. And maybe not for everyone? I rather enjoy it for how well made and unique it is.

after letting it breathe for a min, I really started to notice a smoky brininess on the nose with just little hints of agave that start to come out more as it sits. I can almost feel the heat in my nose. Definitely spicy, peppery throughout that leaves a bit of tingle for the finish. Almost a little bit of a saltiness. But it still has a light agave sweetness throughout. Very enjoyable, definitely a nice twist to the typically great El Tesoro.

Similar to the regular anejo with a lingering - and pleasant - peaty aftertaste. This is the perfect bottle to introduce a scotch lover to tequila.
