Just reviewed this as my #tequilaoftheweek number 45 on @the_tequila_wanderer IG page. Can’t say enough good things about this. I obviously enjoy everything coming out of el Pandillo and this Anejo is no exception. Light oak and caramel on the profile, plenty of cooked blue agave notes and light pepper on the back end of the profile. Highly recommend

Aroma : Cooked agave, grass, apricot/peach fruity notes, and cinnamon. Taste : Light in character but full bodied with oils and cooked agave, light oak, vanilla and black pepper. Some earth notes as well. Finish : Long lasting with previous taste notes with some stronger agave here, and some almond and toffee notes. This is a really nice Añejo. However, this would probably score in the 90+ range if there had been more of the fruit notes on the taste and finish.

Easily one of the best Anejo’s on the market, it still has tons of agave present. The oak is very complimentary, in most tequilas it bulldozes away a lot of other flavours but the Camarena’s seem to have perfected this balance. Get a bottle for home.

Beautiful straw color for añejo, baked agave and citrus on the nose. Very nuanced oak flavor, refreshing to have an añejo be this agave forward. Clean, long finish and the right amount of punch.

Bright grassy agave nose. Tropical fruits, citrus, clean. Like the style. Silky on the tongue with vanilla and pepper. Bold agave and toffee after tones with warming heat. A favorite.

Lightly aged añejo, with warm, buttery, cinnamon and peach aromas. Great flavor that isn't overly oaked. Thumbs up!

Light straw color. Floral, and slightly sweet aroma with a nice sweet cooked agave in there too. Medium viscosity and mouth feel. Very nice touch of sweet and mineral taste with a bit of pepper . Clean , crisp and mellow .....

This is a very good Añejo. Easy to drink, agave upfront, alot of vanilla flavor. very buttery on the pallet. there is a hint of a burn but just for a second. the after taste is very buttery. I feel fortaleza añejo Is still a step above overall but that is my opinion. still a very good Añejo, has a different taste but still feel it's competing with Fortaleza Añejo and it falls a bit short.

An excellent Tequila! Now I understand the approach of wanting to keep the presence of sweet agave above all, the flavors added by the wood from the barrels align with the cooked agave in perfect harmony. The barrels used deliberately have been reused in order to avoid oak dominance killing the agave flavors. It very much reminded me of the old Tapatio bottlings but with a little extra. The use of rain water makes it so pleasant to drink.

what I love about this tequila is that it keeps the originality, that identity of the Blanco with the rich trace in taste from the barrel.

Light cook agave,caramel,sweet agave,light spices

Great balanced tequila with long lasting finish. Worth the price.

Very quickly becoming one of my favorites. Very pure, clean agave flavor and extremely smooth finish. When it first came out, price point was a little lower. Unfortunately, in the last month or two, price has jumped by about $15-$20 per bottle. I will still pay the extra because it’s worth it.

Seriously the best tequila I have ever smelled. Floral, fruity, oak, and barrel species on the nose. There was a surprising amount of agave aroma there for an añejo. The taste was oak, vanilla, cinnamon, agave, and pepper. The finish lingered just long enough to make me want more. I cannot wait to try this again.

It’s G4! It’s an Anejo, but it’s still tequila and it’s a clear progression from the lighter G4’s which really stands out in the market of over sweetened and oaked Anejos. The finish is fantastic, though I refuse to say ‘smooth’ on principle. I feel like this is a Value even though it’s $90, because it’s better than so many of the popular $150-300 Extra Anejos.

a close second to fortaleza Añejo

Aroma - pla ty but weak. Fairly smooth. Kind of thst chunky lost plant flavor of G4

Every time I open a G4 these bottles take me back to “ El Pandillo” Distillery. The aromas and taste on a G4 is highly Cooked Agave. You will also capture aromas of oak, flowers & Cinnamon. The flavors are very much matching the aromas w/ also flavors of Black Pepper, fruity & vanilla.

It is late July and I found this at Costco for $25!! Aroma is the best part with good agave and not too sweet. Taste is strong and hot in the mouth. Not as refined as many Añejos but still good. The finish is very long with good heat and great flavor.

An enjoyable añejo! Not too oaky, but you can still taste that this is an añejo. Agave is prevalent in the aroma and flavor of this tequila. I’ll keep a bottle of this around for sure.

bold agave light oak spice. long clean finish

Not surprising this is an amazing representation of an Anejo given everything else in their portfolio!!! The agave stays strong and the oak qualities take slightly more of a back seat whilst also adding so much... amazing!!

Very easy to drink Anejo, with more agave flavor than typical for an aged tequila.

Less agave aroma than I was expecting, and more alcohol. Body is fantastic, coats my pallet. Oak is strong, but the agave shines through.

By far the best anejo I’ve experienced. Full of flavors and smooth as hot caramel. This is a must have in any collection
