Loved the approach this brand did.
The only thing I disliked was the finish…
I appreciate the tannic-end, but it also came with a defect sensation (also had that in the blanco)
Would love to understand/breakdown it’s profile to understand if it’s a chemical component I’m not familiar with and I’m classifying it as defect.

Definitely one of the better aged tequilas i have tasted. And given it is made by 1139, La Altena, it is done right. It an añejo that could pass as an XA and not in a bad way. You will certainly get barrel on the nose and palate. But steamed agave is present. Honey, peppery, bark, earthy, mineraly goodness here. Another winner by Carlos.

Another well-aged tequila that takes the reposado a little bit further. All of the nice warm vanilla tones found in the Excellia reposado are here, plus a hint of citrus. This is an example of aging done right.

Very apparent barrel influence with an oaky aroma and taste.

Lovely red apples straight from the bat.
Lots of incredible aromas come out flying from my glass - oak, chamomile, honey, tobacco and a bit of cinnamon. It's warm and inviting. I can't wait to taste it
Oh my God!!! It's delicious; its natural sweetness is an incredibly balanced tequila with all the flavours coming and growing in your mouth.
Its finish is terrific, with a little delicious bitterness. And there is agave flavour still!

Aroma: Toasted Barrel, Agave, cinnamon, nutmeg, ethanol
Flavor: cooked agave, oak, barrel spice, vanilla
This was a very good anejo, I didn’t find it as agave forward as I was expecting. I did a side by side with an El Tesoro anejo and I preferred the ET anejo.

NOM 1139, I can’t understand the low rating of many people here, this tequila is exquisite, little dry taste due to the grapes from the sauternees casks, agave still comes through, well balanced, perfect for deserts, great price at 44 €

oak and agave smell. Peppery taste and agave. Dry finish for me- maybe cause of the casks? In any case, not my style.

Very good stuff with notes of cooked agave, apricots, citrus, baking spices, and a little chocolate. Not on level of other Carlos Camarena stuff as I don’t get much of a difference in these cognac and Sauternes casks as I do in his other añejos and extra añejos.

A bit of a letdown for a Camarena

Herbal and fruit aromas overpowered by alcohol. Strong pepper flavor with an average finish. For the price, a weak añejo overall.

Very peppery. Not impressed. I did not pick up on the grand cru or cognac barrels. Good but not great at that price
