I have tasted this tequila on 3 occasions. Once from a new bottle which I purchased and twice from open bottles in a bar. One of the bar tastings was completely different to the point I'm suspicious that it was actually Uno so I am discarding that experience. Frankly though, the previous 2 ratings seem like the 1 odd tasting I had. Based on the 2 common tastings I find myself disagreeing somewhat with the previous 2 ratings.
I found the aroma a bit sweet with vanilla and caramel and only a mild toasted oak scent. Not overbearing at all. I was a little surprised at the lightness of its color for its age but am seeing more and more color variation in anejos as of late. Initial taste confirmed the caramel aroma with a sweet with mild fruit that transitioned into a a slightly slightly smokey flavor and finishing with hints of White pepper. The price is a bit high and hurts this rating but overall I found the flavors distinct but mild and quite enjoyable.

An unexpected find in Jefferson County, Missouri.
If you are a tequila aficionado and live in the area, you have got to seek this little gem out. The manager "Vic" is a tequila nut himself and has gone out of his way to bring in an extensive selection of tequilas to include some of the ultra premiums like "Rey Sol","Cabo Uno", Cuervo "De La Familia" and Don Julio's "1942" and "Real". The tequila prices are very reasonable and the food is as authentic as you can find in the St. Louis area. The "Caldo Cammaron" is a personal favorite of mine which is a shrimp soup. On Fridays and Saturdays as well as certain other nights they have live music to add to the ambiance.

I have visited this place twice in the last year and a half. The first visit I was lucky enough to get Hector behind the bar. He was very friendly and very knowledgeable and introduced me to Don Julio 1942 at 15.00 a shot (I now drink that regularly at my local favorite bar for considerably less). I don't recall the name of the bartender at my latest visit in June and he was friendly but less memorable. They have a decent mix of tequilas and a not so extensive food menu. The ambiance was nothing to attract you and if you aren't seeking out tequila you will probably pass right by. All said, it's the best selection I've found in Vegas but I've seen better elsewhere. The same can be said for the prices. The saving grace was Hector.
