Tasted in a rocks glass on May 24, 2008 sticking to the side of the glass with with very to slow lasting legs.
El Conquistador Reposado
Color: light golden brown
Aroma: baked honey ham
Taste: sweet agave syrup with a hint of wood, medium mouthfeel that had a short burn numbing the entire mouth
The El Conquistador is the sweetest reposado I have tasted up to this point. I use agave syrup in my cocktails and it tasted as though I poured some into a blanco and mixed it with an oak stick from my BBQ. If you use El Conquistador in a cocktail I would recommend cutting back on the sweetner or drinking it neat alike a desert wine (Tequila). My three favorite reposado at the time of this writing have to be still Sol Azul, Casa Noble & Corralejo.

Tasted with ice on May 13, 2008.
Jose Cuervo Platino Reserva de la Familia
Color: clear
Aroma: agave & the smell of the ice
Taste: light on the tongue with the taste of wet cement thoughout finishing with very little burn
This is a blanco that I felt is all name and over priced. I will not try again without the ice to see if the taste changes as other blanco have cut thru the ice with great flavors. I favor the blancos of Chinaco, Corralejo and Milagro. My current top three blanco picks as of the writing of this review.

Tasted in a rocks glass on May 8, 2008 sticking to the side of the glass with fat lasting legs.
Milagro Reposado Select
Color: light golden hue
Aroma: spice, smoke
Taste: wood & honey with a light/medium mouthfeel and hot finish
I did not feel this is as smooth as advertised. For a reposado I would of like to have a little heavier body and a smoother less hot finish. Even with the amazing bottle, my three favorite reposado at the time of this writing have to be Sol Azul, Casa Noble & Corralejo.

Tasted in a large caballito on May 3, 2008 showing long lasting legs down the glass. Enjoyed after a large meal & desert.
Don Camilo Anejo
Color: golden
Aroma: vanilla
Taste: wood, smoke, vanilla & agave with medium to heavy on the tongue finishing smooth
For anejos I rate either the Sol Azul, Casa Noble or Don Julio 1942 higher as of right now. Though I will try Don Camilo again as I don't believe this to be the fairest review since I had food and several cocktails prior to tasting. I did enjoy and will try again.

Milagro Anejo
Color: light golden
Aroma: slight wood & vanilla
Taste: wood on fire with a medium mouthfeel having a lightness around it. Finished with a fiery burn
For anejos I would much rather drink either the Sol Azul, Casa Noble or Don Julio 1942. My current top three anejo picks as of the writing of this review. The Milagro Anejo is good but very hot for an anejo and I had to keep taking breaks to cool the fire in my mouth as I sipped.
