Sept 19, 2023 San Matias Gran Reserva NOM 1103 Bottled 09/06/2017 NOSE: let it open up - tropical fruit, floral, caramel, vanilla, orange peel, some agave, a little oak. I like it because it's not too oaky PALATE: a little more muted than the nose. Im getting barrel notes, some fruit, cherry, agave, vanilla, carmel, oak. This bottle is from 2017, and there was less than 1/4 in the bottle. LEGS: nice and long COLOR: golden, not too dark. FINISH:  short to medium

Nose- Brown sugar, Caramel, Butterscotch, Alcohol Palate- Caramel, Vanilla, Oak Finish- Woody, hot, dies off quickly Overall: Clean — Good flavor, very oaky, however a bit hot. Wonderful extra añejo expression for the price.

Amazing value XA. If you like oak and butterscotch this is for you! That’s not really my thing so the rating suffers. I did have a 5-year single barrel from Moreno’s Liquors that for me is much better than the standard blend. I’d give that one a score in the 80s and the regular one in the 70s.

On the nose, Initially cooked agave but then caramel swarms the nose. Butterscotch and maple. Hazelnut and chocolate, like Nutella but not nearly so sickly sweet. A cognac like note for sure. Definitely fruity, I swear I’m getting a hint of pear. On the palate, Spicy, sweet, and oaky. There’s cooked agave, but it’s definitely mixed in with the the flavors and not the star by any means. Definitely a cognac type of note and caramel. A little bit of heat, but not too much. Very interesting. A tasty tequila, agave is definitely not the star of the show but it is very tasty and a tremendous value.

Don't love this one. Sweet aroma but burn on the finish and okay flavor. Not my pick for a sipper but may pair nicely with food or in a drink. Update: after sitting for a week, it's much better and not as sweet

Strong cherry aroma at outset. Over time alcohol becomes more present and other barrel aromas - vanilla, pine, fresh cut lumber. Flavor opens with a spicy heat then moves to fruit notes with strong cherry again appearing. Overly sweet for my taste. Spicy finish lingers for a relatively short time. 12/24/2020 - 8th Annual Xmas XA tasting

Aromas of agave, cinnamon, and oak upon first impression. After a little while I get some fruity notes along with a bit more barrel influence. The taste is all caramel, vanilla, oak, and leather. Not much agave to speak of, so this is definitely a tequila for whiskey drinkers. The finish is a little more spicy with black pepper and oak. I wasn't expecting much for a $40 XA, but this actually pretty good, especially if it's your first experience with an extra añejo.

Price / value is very reasonable for an xa. Found it to be a little too oily and some bitter heat. A good sipper for comparisons.

Caramelized agave, chocolate, maple, vanilla, a touch of heat. This is a bargain XA. Good after dinner sipper.

It’s really rare to find an extra Añejo with agave still present but they have achieved in this case. This is a tequila drinkers tequila, I am a big fan.

The 100% agave version is the one to seek out. Bottles from several years ago were mixtos along with other San Matias products.

San Matias Gran Reserva is a great tequila and at aroound $50, a bangin' deal! Lots of spice and fruit tones, along with some cooked agave, caramel, earth, coffee and leather notes in this very complex and deep añejo. For me, it has too many heavy wood notes, but for people that have a bourbon background, I would highly recommend this tequila to them!

Nose: cooked agave, vanilla and caramel with a slight mineral note Palate: cooked agave, oak and black pepper with a sweet cherry flavor Finish: smooth, long and mild The Casa San Matias Gran Reserva Extra Anejo is a great value in a lovely sipping tequila. Drinks like anejos that cost much more.

Sweet caramel, butterscotch, vanilla, cherry. A hint of agave does come through. Otherwise, not very complex and finish is on the short side. Probably the best budget XA. Price is less than most blancos which drives the score up. | Possibly has added sugar - gave me slight headache next day.

San Matias has been making this ground breaking xa for years now. Can’t go wrong with San Matias family owned producer

My first x anejo. Very reasonable price but just too sweet for my palate. I know why I like blancos!

We did a blind tasting. This was by far the least prestigious brand we had. We had other extra anejos from NOM 1579 among others. This one won the blind tasting. High score because of the value.

Extra Añejo so as expected there are strong barrel flavors. It drinks like an aged rum but still agave based. I would look for this again.

This is an incredible Tequila at a very reasonable price. My go-to to convince a newbie how smooth and solid a tequila can be at a reasonable price. Score adjustment for $40 which is a bargain!

For $45 it’s really hard to beat. Would drink any day over JCRF for a fraction
