Tasted 07/28/08 out of shot glass. A shot glass isnt my favorite to taste a tequila, so I treated it as a high ball double glass. I liked this lines anejo much more than their blanco. Not my favorite anjeo, but it aint the worst either.

Aroma: A nice cooked agave and caramel presence.
Initial Taste: Very sweet on the tongue, a little too much for my taste.
Bosy: Very sweet caramel, agave, and earth.
Finish: Of short duration, but no burn!

Tasted 07/30/08 out of a snifter. El Tesoro anjeo was amazing. Now that Ive delved into the world of anejos, I thought it be a good idea to try the anejo of one of my favorite blancos. And I was pleased as punch! I liked that it wasn't too 'syrupy' as I've experienced with some anejos I've tried.

Aroma: Pleasant agave and light caramel tones.
Initial Taste: It's sweet on tip of tongue, but not bitter.
Body: A nice cooked agave, followed by hints of wood, smoke, caramel, and earth.
Finish: A medium heated finish of long duration

Initial Taste: Upon entry, there's an oily mouth feel. It's sweet with no bitterness.
Body: Mild agave, fruit, caramel, wood and earth. Very complex.
Finish: Of medium duration with no alcohol burn.

Tasted 07/25/08 out of high ball glass. This reposado was smooth, yet just a little to sweet for my taste buds. I think the sweetness takes away from the taste, if that makes any sense. In my opinion, their blanco is much better. Still, this is not a bad reposado by any means.

Aroma: Very caramel, fruity and floral.
Initial Taste: An oily mouth feel for me. Upon entry, it's very very sweet, with no bitterness.
Body: Nice cooked agave, with bold caramel and floral notes.
Finish: A heated finish of medium duration with no alcohol burn.

Tasted 07/25/08 out of double ball glass. Chaya Silver is a good blanco. A little bitter, but nothing I can't take. I think this one would be great straight or mixed.

Aroma: Very distinct fruit and floral.
Initial Taste: A think mouth feel, upon entry it's sweet with low bitterness.
Body: A balanced agave body, with very fruity hints and slight earthy tones.
Finish: Of medium duration, with a slight alcohol burn.
