After 300+ reviews, sometimes I just assume that when I liked ones expression of a brand that I've written a review for the entire line. I have long enjoyed the Tres Agaves Blanco, but I guess that I had forgotten to review the anejo. I dug it out of the cabinet and poured it in the my glass. The rest...well, here it is...
Price: $30-35/bottle
Aroma: A complex mixture of cooked agave, oak, spice and a hint of anise. Very interesting.
Initial Taste: A nice mix of agave and brown spices. Only a light sweetness, but it works very well.
Body: A light color and a light body for an anejo that has been aged for 18 months. There are some nice upfront flavors and lots of subtle ones that add a nice complexity without overwhelming the agave (cinnamon, nutmeg, oak, vanilla)
Finish: The finish is a bit short for an anejo, but the spice mix along with the agave kick is very nice.
If you do any research about this brand, you know for sure that there is passion and craftsmanship behind the brand. Tres Agaves is aged in Woodford Reserve barrels and crafted at the very good NOM 1109 (Arette) distillery...nice choices. If you are looking for a dessert anejo, this is not the one you want. If you are looking for an anejo that has the essence of a really well crafted repo, this is a good one and is priced right to boot. The agave is still very present and the ancillary flavors are there, but compliment the agave instead of overwhelming it. Tres Agaves is a really nice anejo. Add the fact that it is around $35 and you have yourself a winner.
