Tasted with ice on May 3, 2008 while having pork tacos, plus chips and salsa.
El Mayor Blanco
Color: clear
Aroma: agave
Taste: black pepper and light on the tongue with help from the ice finishing with a strong blanco burn that cut through the ice
This is a blanco that I will purchase to try without the ice and in cocktails to give a more proper review, as I am sure the food was impacting my taste buds. Until the I still favor for blancos either the Chinaco, Corralejo or the Milagro. My current top three blanco picks as of the writing of this review, though this El Mayor may give them a run.

Tasted in a caballito on April 19, 2008 sticking to the side of the glass eventually showing lasting legs.
Milagro Reposado
Color: light golden hue
Aroma: agave, clay, smoke
Taste: chocolate chip mint ice cream with a medium mouthfeel and smooth burn in the finish
For the price I do not think you can find a better Reposado. Good for cocktails and great straight. My three favorite reposado at the time of this writing have to be Sol Azul, Casa Noble & Corralejo still. Though this Milagro is the Tequila to use for the party drinks.

Tasted in rocks glass on April 18, 2008 showing long lasting legs down the glass.
Patron Anejo
Color: light golden
Aroma: slight wood
Taste: ground black pepper, agave and a tinge of wood with medium to heavy on the tongue finishing with a numbing 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. If in a pinch as I was with the bar only have Patron as the "top shelf" Tequila brand then Patron is what you are stuck ordering.

Sol Azul Anejo
Color: light golden hue
Aroma: vanilla
Taste: carmel apple sprinkled with cayenne pepper. medium to heavy body with a very long lasting smooth burn numbing the entire mouth. a bite that I would expect from a Reposado more than an Anejo
The Sol Azul Anejo bottle with it's cork and glass stopper is a nice touch. For the price and quality (even with the bite) Sol Azul Anejo is one of my three favorite anejo at the time of this writing along with Casa Noble & Don Julio 1942.
