From a 500ml bottle purchased several years ago in Puerto Vallarta. Aged in used whiskey and cognac barrels this añejo has a very aromatic nose of orange zest and barrel spice of clove, cardamom, with some caramel and faint agave. In the mouth this has a medium viscosity along with some flavors from the cognac and grape but there is a also slight bitterness from the oak. It also finishes slightly bitter and I score it down for that. Just a cut below being a real solid sipper this is a good bargain from a not well known distillery.

Mexican 40% abv. version, no lot codes, marbete is from 2004, beige color plastic twist cap with a fun stopper, tasted on 8-30-24. Color: dark yellow. Aroma: barrel spice, vanilla, wood note, hint of fruitiness, light acidity, wood note gets more noticeable as time goes by. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, warming wood notes, caramel, wood note is quite impregnating. Finish is medium to medium long, wood note, cinnamon, barrel spice, hint of fruitiness with vanilla note persists.

Review #154 - Penacho Azteca Tequila Anejo

A tequila with an interesting story...whether it is rumor or not. I definitely talked more about this tequila than I have imbibed it. Made by a man named Nacho...it can't be all bad, right?
