This is a vintage Green Label Gran Centenario añejo, from back in the day...Not what you will find on store shelves today. Nose: Ripe red, jammy fruit. A warm vanilla and baking spice blend. Some orange zest. A little “snap” to the nose. Rich and fruity round oak aromas. The oak notes creep up in magnitude as it opens up. Flavors: Oily, spicy, peppery. A Cointreau note. Dark ripe cherries. Vanilla, nutmeg and leather. It’s like an opulent dessert with kick. Finishing impressions: Not crazy complex, but has a pleasing warm, comfortable style.
Average Anejo, whiskey like on the palate. Light in style. Prefer the repo from this producer for the money.
Rated blind. Some nice subtle chocolate notes the the aroma.
Gotta say I like this tequila, great use of oak and blending to achieve a good balance. This product could be an easy stand in for bourbon when recruiting new agave lovers.
Green Label
Sooooo much better and different than the current blue label. Nice crisp aromas of citrus , agave and vanilla/caramel. Those carry over into the flavors with a bit of alcohol and chocolate. Nice lingering finish with little burn compared to current version. This is actually the juice that got us started on this awesome agave journey. Getting harder to find but still some bottles out there for around 60 bucks or so, even from collectors. Great "old school" juice IMHO.
From a 3L green label bottle @ 38% ABV. This is very nice with a spicy finish. Cooked agave and barrel spice (caramel, cinnamon or clove and vanilla) on the nose. Nice mouthfeel but not oily or viscous. Some alcohol numbing even at the lower proof. Good long finish. Proves that Cuervo can make good tequila when they want to.
Awesome. Butter. Smooth. Fruit. Love it.
Nice agave aroma over sweet barrel.
Honey, agave sweetness up front with a spicier pepper finish. Easy drinker neat, some lingering heat. I don’t mind it but wouldn’t seek it out
Available at Costco at the moment and probably the best value tequila on their shelf.
Sweet, caramel flavour with no burn. Very easy to drink
Aroma: Agave, sweetness, caramel, dried fruit Flavour: Agave, oak, spices Finish: Smooth
i drank a majority of this with honey, lime, and grapefruit (or grapefruit soda)...absolutely loved it. anyways by itself, it has a nice carmel sweet flavor to it. definitely good tasting.
Whisky
Smells like bourbon. My sniffer may be off but all I could smell was Four Rose's Yellow Label.
Oak finish with gentle sweet under tones of clove and spice.

This is a budget tequila. $26 Anejo, I don't think you'll be able to find another anejo at this price without it being diffuser made. Yes, it is JC product and I was apprehensive at first but told myself why not. Nose- Butterscotch, acetone, maple syrup and caramel. Taste- Light agave, light wood, chocolate, light caramel, pepper and light alcohol on the back end. I was really empressed, I can tell it has additives, but it isn't a displeasing taste whatsoever or feel like it was over bearing sweetness. I sipped this and wasn't offended. In fact, I kinda liked it. I would buy again and recommend for someone who wants a budget anejo. This gets 10 points because of the value. 78 Real Rating
Budget Anjeos are often a disaster, however, this budget Anejo ($32 @ Virginia ABC) is a decent sipper. Nose: The nose opens up with a bunch of sweetness. Oak, caramel, cooked agave, butter, and cheap whiskey predominate. Taste: A touch of bitter cinammon and cheap whiskey up front. Transitions to chocolate, cooked agave, and citrus fruit. A little flat and not to complicated, but reasonably decent. Finish: Pleasingly warm with chocolate and cinnamon notes for a medium finish.
Carmel and slight vanilla on the tounge upfront. The aroma is cooked agave and oak. Decent but not my first choice.
It’s syrup-y and I don’t like it. Oak-y
Aroma is > Plato and repo. Flavor isn’t exciting but good. Finish is decent too.
Carmel, vanilla, aged longer Than most anejos. whiskey like taste. not as sweet as many anejos.

On the nose, Oak and caramel, masking cooked agave underneath. Some pepper. Whiskey. A touch of vanilla and apple. Fruity. Some citrus. Not bad. On the palate, Sweet agave, and something almost like apple juice. Caramel and vanilla, light whiskey notes. Really not bad, I can’t find any flaws. It’s not mind blowing, but it is pretty solid. I hear there’s diffuser juice mixed in, and that may be the case, but this is just a really easy drinking, clean and perfectly fine tequila. I can see the appeal. It’s got no heat, some tasty flavors, perfect for sipping or shooting, if you’re into that. I may be a little contrarian here, but I think it’s got a place. If you’re gonna drink a super commercial Cuervo product, this would be the one I’d suggest. I think it lacks that distinct diffuser chemical funk.
