1 1/2 oz at room temperature in a mini snifter.
My indifference to Milagro's regular anejo kept me from paying the significantly higher price to try this one, but after reading some good reviews, I decided to give it a try.
Im glad I did, it was significantly better.

A good agave scent and smooth beginning taste was very pleasant, smooth with a oaky taste,which I tend to like in some anejos.
I didnt notice much of finish to it, but it was not unpleasant. A little bit of a numbness on the tongue crept in, but it wasnt a full fledged burns, which usually turns me off.

It has one the best looking bottles out there. But you pay for it. $84 in the Western Massachusetts area. You are definitely paying a sizeable surcharge for the bottle, but it would make a fantastic display.

A sweet, fruity scent is followed by the same taste. I like the fruity taste, it sets it apart from the other tequilas, while still tasting like tequila. It is smooth and goes down easy with no burn and a light finish.
If only it was sold in stores in my area.

Since this seemed to be one of the universal "must have" tequilas, I decided to give it a try.
1 1/2 oz in a mini snifter at room temperature.

It has a good initial agave scent. The first sip has a nice light flavor, agave with a good amount of woody/oak flavor. Very little burn too it, though by the end of the 1.5 oz it added up a little. But it wasnt distracting.

I feel it's a good overall/everyday tequila. I wouldnt put it into my all time favorite list, but since it is reasonably priced, it will someday make it into my collection. $45 in W. Mass.

I tried this in a mini snifter at room temperature at my local tequila bar.
The initial scent was fairly typical for an anejo, a good agave scent with a bit of an alcohol tinge.
The first sip has a fair agave flavor with a bit of a burn, but not too much. The burn does add up so at the end of the 1 1/2 oz, there was a slight numbing sensation.
Overall not a bad tequila, I was a bit disappointed since the bottle claims it has been aged for at least 3 years, yet it tasted about the same as most 12-18 month anejos.
This could be a good tequila to pick up, depending on the price. My local store doesnt carry it, but online prices vary from $35-$55. I would pay $40 tops, there's better for $45.

Initially the first scent had me worried, all I could smell was an alcohol burn.
Fortunately, there was none of that in the actual taste. It was very light and went down easy, with virtually no burn at the end.

A good all around tequila, fairly affordable in the Western MA area approx $47
