February 12, 2008 I love this tequila. I loved scotch first and to me this is a scotch drinkers tequila. The nose is peppery-spicy with sweet undertones and a hint of smoke. The initial taste is smooth and sweet with some pepper. It's full-bodied and creamy with many different complex flavors that shift in your mouth with duration from pepper to sweet caramel to vanilla to smoke and oak and back to pepper before leaving your mouth with a smooth, long finish of tongue-tingling eucalyptus and smoked oak. I have yet to find a better tasting, sweet, highland region anejo. Maybe there is one out there but until I find it this is my anejo of choice.

 February 12, 2008 I was not impressed at all with this tequila. As far as I'm concerned tequila is supposed to have flavor and this had none. It wasn't the slightest bit aggressive at any stage of the tasting process and the initial taste and body were almost exactly the same which was a totally watered down spirit with the slightest hints of flavor that might have been there before the third distillation. yes it was super smooth but mainly because there is nothing there. It's like drinking water or vodka for that matter. They distilled the flavor right out of it. I'm actually shocked it has such a high rating here.

 February 12, 2008 I found this Blanco to be surprising in the fact that Cuervo is usually associated with cheap tequila and killer hangovers. This super-premium has elevated my view of the brand. Having said that I still found it to be a "middle of the road" super-premium. The nose is not aggressive with a slight alcohol burn but distinct agave notes. The initial taste is fairly smooth but the flavors don't arrive until you reach the body which draws vanilla, citrus, and pepper out. The finish is smooth and pepper with a slight bitterness. I actually wasn't all that impressed with the bottle presentation though. It's a decent tequila but not one that I am completely fired up over.

 January 24, 2008 I find Tequila Tezon to be one of the most enjoyable tequilas on the market. The Reposado is non-agressive on the nose with hints of citrus, mint, and wet earth. At first taste their is a very slight alcohol burn before giving way to a flury of flavors including slight caramel, vanilla, and citrus. The flavor continues to change through the long finish and leaves your mouth feeling fresh and minty with just the slightly smoke and oak taste. I highly recommend this reposado to all. It is my new favorite sipping tequila and I have no problem drinking it on the rocks like a fine scotch glass after glass.
