I’m so confused, this was amazing blanco, mediocre Reposado and here I am loving the Añejo! I am just a silly gringo who drinks too much but maybe this tequila needs that extra time in oak to get a meaningful contribution. This is a great Añejo for true tequila drinkers, it still tells the story of the agave with just a whisper of the oak.

Nice balance of alcohol, barrel spice and agave. Tasted at MBTF 2024

Nose is musty. Palate is ok and finish is odd. It just tastes weird

Nose: vanilla/ butterscotch/ caramel/ cinnamon/ banana/ anise / tea / spearmint/ orange blossom/ nutmeg/ molasses/ honey/ maple Taste: vanilla/ pepper / agave cooked / peppermint/ caramel/ butterscotch/ banana/ hint of melon / lime / orange peel / anise / baking spice / maple / molasses / cream soda Finish: low viscosity mouthfeel with cool water effect / excellent unified flavor throughout the whole taste / balanced with lingering vanilla, agave, and pepper notes. This anejo is very refreshing and enjoyable. The barrel notes are delicious but aren’t overpowering the sweet agave tastes. And though it’s not absolutely balanced, it still has a more unified flavor structure that is definitely delicious.

Aroma: cooked agave, vanilla, baking spice, cherry, pepper. Flavor: banana, vanilla, cherry, baking spice, plum, pepper, cooked agave, butterscotch, tobacco, nutshell. Buttery mouthfeel. Medium finish. Really nice Anejo. Tasted at Ava's in Kenilworth NJ

I had high hopes for this 1414 offering. To that extent it somewhat lets me down. Not that it is bad but it doesn’t excel the way I was hoping for. Nose is strange to me. It agave but everything else seems to meld together. It is hard to define it. I do pick up cooked agave and black cherry. The taste doesn’t jump out either. I get agave and barrel tastes of oak, vanilla and caramel. Then you are hit with black pepper. Maybe too much. A touch of banana. The finish is a bit harsh with alcohol. I have all Lost Lore expressions. This is my least favorite.

i tried all three expressions at the 2023 LATF industry party and really enjoyed them. I will revisit and add my notes when when I get more

Nose: A gently toasted barrel note, cherry, spice and vanilla bean. Light and airy. Minerals and slightly tart citrus. A dusting of pepper. Understated barrel influence - agave/fruit taking the lead. Flavors: Dry herbs, spice and pepper - leaving trace bitterness on the sides of the tongue. Vanilla creaminess. Creeping pepper intensity somewhat balances the dense sweetness. Finishes with a shake of salt and a palate drying oak note.

Bottle: Lot 3, Bottle 568, LLANE2487 215122, 04/06/24 07:03 Appearance: Olive caramel Nose: Cooked agave, raisin, banana, dried apricot, rainier cherry, cinnamon, black pepper, orange peel, baking spice, oak, molasses, crème brûlée, anise, vanilla, barrel spice, and butter…think baked/torched sweet dessert Palate: Cooked agave, fruity, banana, rainier cherry, cinnamon, vanilla, baking spice, oak, molasses, maple, Finish: Overall:

Barrel flavor but not all barrel which is great. I enjoy the light sweetness on the nose with vanilla, caramel & banana. Taste on the lips is lasting well after initial sip.

Lost Lore Anjeo Lot 613 Summary: A soft, fruit forward offering with a sensational taste and a strong finish. A must try. Aroma: Soft cinnamon and nutmeg with light tart cherries, apricots, and dried orange peel. Light floral notes (geranium??) with a touch of vanilla and cooked agave. Surprising...was not expecting this. Astounding. Taste and Finish: Buttery, spicy, and dry. See Remy Newlands notes (she is spot on). The creaminess and light vanilla, oak, salinity, fruity, and pepper spice notes interplay perfectly. A wonderful anjeo from Vivanco.
