Aroma: Butterscotch, cooked agave, and cinnamon spice, hints of orange zest. Taste: Sweet across the tongue with a stronger taste of the agave and cinnamon. A nice viscous consistency. Finish: Slightly vegetal agave finish, with an accentuation of the cinnamon spice, with some Mexican chocolate flavor on the end. Overall: An amazingly good tequila that reminds me of the Código 1530 añejo in both aroma and taste, but with a different finish. Lots of flavor throughout, a new one to add to my favorites.

Aroma : Agave and baking spices alongside light oak and caramel. Taste : Sweet agave, butter, and vanilla meld with oak and some light black pepper spice with a well bodied texture. Finish : Long, and showcases the barrel flavors as the agave sweetness fades.

Good spice, and pepper with sweet notes. Overall pleasing

Deep color for an anejo. Terrific caramel and vanilla nose with a tiny hint of alcohol. Finish is sweet and slow with black pepper and anise

Definitely on the sweeter side, great sipper though

Deep amber color. Thick, oily body clinging to the glass. Initially I get sweet on the nose, caramel notes, which quickly moves to agave and and sweet candied fruit. Really enjoyable. Upon entry, it’s velvety with a round mouthfeel. I get tannins, vanilla and light butterscotch. Transitions to notes of agave and spices before ending with pepper and a knife enjoyable heat on the roof of the mouth. Finish is complex and enjoyable.

Great cinnamon and agave aromas. Flavor is nice cooked agave sweetness. This is a very nice aged product.

Butterscotch aroma. Earthiness. Nice barrel/baking spices. Round oak and anise flavors. Rich dried fruit notes. Subtle touch on the French oak, letting the other barrel influences share the stage. Lengthy delightful finish with subtle pepper undertones and butterscotch reemerges. Did I say long finish?!?

Aroma: Slightly oaky with hints of pepper and honey. Flavor: Oak flavor upfront and then a hint of vanilla and caramel. Finish: Long lingering finish that stats with a nice kick upfront.

at Sergio's seminar

Sweet aromas of caramel, vanilla and maple syrup. Flavor of sweet fruit and syrup. This one is so sweet it nearly makes your teeth hurt but is tempered (only slightly) by a trace of spicy heat. While it is enjoyable, this one is just too sweet for my taste. For those who say it can never be too sweet (you know who you are...) this may be just their cup of t - equila.

Great aroma, solid flavor, caramel maybe. Good finish, very happy w/ this one.

Neat: like the nose - lots of oak, vanilla, bit of cinnamon Taste oak, cooked agave, pepper Finish: fairly smooth - After taste seems a bit bitter

Very oaky Piloncillo Honey Cooked agave Definitely tastes like an aged spirit A little bit of cinnamon

Nose- sweet, cooked agave, light brine and dried fruits. Taste- caramel, cooked agave, butterscotch & cinnamon. Finish- agave with a light black pepper. Oak lingers with a faint butter tone.

Overly briny. Overwhelms the vanilla and oak notes. Wondering if I got a bad bottle.

Sweet nose

Question for both the panel and community, do you guys and gals rate after the first sip, second sip, or after the completed glass? This one was not going to get as high of a ranking on the first swallow, then sipped again, bumped up the score, the flavor jived with my sensibilities much more. I appreciate the nose, it’s subtle but has a depth. Love the body burn on this. I don’t think it’s worth the money I paid for it, but what do I know. Solid tequila! And prime time for the chilly months!

A bit smoky on the finish - almost scotch flavors. Still plenty of cooked agave.

Don Fulano tasting flight at Alma in Scottsdale. Añejo has agave aroma with slight cinnamon & oak. I don’t get any orange that I did in the blanco & repo. Very nice agave, spice & slight pepper flavors. Very nice mouth feel. I think I’m a fan.

Not imperial level but still very good. Has notes of cooked agave, honey, caramel, raisins, almonds, and brown sugar.

Nice grassy nose with lots of agave. Smooth oaky palate, again with lots of agave notes. Very long and pleasant finish. Rich amber color with long oily legs. I’ve found a new friend.

It tasted a little watered-down. I liked the blanco and repo much more

Aroma-butterscotch, caramel, oak Taste- sweet cooked agave Finish- all spice, cooked agave, anise that lingers in a bitter way

Really enjoyed this expression from DF. Complex spices with agave in the background & anise/chocolate up front. Can taste the influence from the wine barrels. Very pleasant medium finish. Did I mention it was complex? I envision sipping this on a cold winter eve!
