I rated this tequila blind, during the 2013 Spirits of Mexico competition in San Diego.

Strong citrus and floral. Not very smooth.

light aroma. vanilla/cherry/wood on the nose. lighter in color. not bad for cheaper anejo. diffuser process used to extract sugars.

Mexican 38% abv. versión, lote: 17073H0313, bottled on 14-03-2017, tasted on 10-21-23. Color: dark yellow to light brown. Aroma: cooked agave, caramel, light wood note, light earthiness. It has a light barley aroma, why?! Palate: confirms aromas perceived, the sweetness on the palate is quite sweet but not from agave. Finish is medium, light cooked agave with sweet vanilla and hint of maple honey & barley note persists. Ends slightly bitter.

For the price it’s not bad. But let’s be honest, it’s pretty bad. I would not sip this neat again…

Only tequila in the pub. The anejo was the only bottle unopened so gave it a go. It can stay unopened!

Great for margaritas! Again would NOT sip this thing but it’s my go to for mixed drinks in order to get the agave flavor

I'm left wondering if this is actually aged in oak or just artificially flavored and colored.

So smooth and gentle with amazing finish. Since I didnt find another one at store, I tried herradura anjeho, which comes from the same distillery. Pricier, and nice, but with no magic.

I didn't enjoy this one at all. it had a licorice and rubbing alcohol finish.

Meh. Some sweet flavors. Not much happening.

the after-burn is nasty and not what you'd expect from an anejo

Decent aroma on the nose but the taste does not match. Hard to pinpoint but not enough agave or oak. Very underwhelming and generic tasting. Finish is a bit abrasive and bitter.

Wine Cellar seminar

Sad to say, but this once decent quality tequila has been completely ruined by Herradura's adoption of diffuser technology. Unless of course you prefer your tequila with an overpowering aroma and flavor of rubbing alcohol and astringents, with obvious additives to try to make the contents of the bottle more palatable..... What was once a decent tequila is now undrinkable.... I suspect the flavors and aromas of an anejo tequila are all artificially produced using additives. #faketequila

While I prefer other tequilas, I find myself buying this quite often. Perfect for a day of patio drinking with friends. I have had very few that can come close to competing in this price range.

Got a medical note In nose.

Overall not a bad anejo and good for the price $25. Nice aroma but a little harsh after taste. I've used this in a margarita a few times just to try something different and it was a nice change.

This has a really nice deep Amber color. Pepper on the finish. Not bad but in this price range I would still choose Olmeca Altos plata or resposado over this

Very interesting tasting. Aroma is strong in alcohol but behind that is intense sweetness of vanilla and orange. Flavor is similar with a powerful initial burst of flavor of vanilla, agave and orange accompanied by burn. Somewhat harsh finish but good añejo for the price point.

Not bad, but not one of my first choices. A little too sweet for me.

The best tequila for the price. Very surprised how good this was would not of believed it if I didn't try it myself!

Nice tequila. Surprisingly good

Good less expensive drink
