AsomBroso Vintage 11 yr Anejo

[bn087]

Just wondering if anyone has been lucky enough to try this product. I've never found any of the AsomBroso products locally but seen them out of town in stores. I did not know they made a vinatage 11yr anejo. Has anyone tasted this product at all? Can you taste any agave....

I hear they have a bottle at the Bellagio. I'll be in vegas this weekend, so I'll see how much they want for a shot.

Sorry about the dead link....try this.

None seem to working after I post them so here is what the site says....

AsomBroso Classic 11-Year Vintage Anejo Tequila, the oldest rested Tequila in North America is now available to the discriminating Tequila aficionado.

Ricardo, from AsomBroso:
"The history of this outstanding tequila is that years ago, Enrique Fonseca Sr., a renown agave grower and tequila maker, sealed a cache of his freshly distilled tequila into a few small French Oak casks as an experiment in making a longer-aged Anejo, mainly for his own enjoyment. Now, eleven years later, I have convinced his son and my partner, Enrique Fonseca Jr., to let me bottle and distribute some of this unique family legacy."

While there is no vintage nomenclature for tequila as regulated by the Mexican CRT, for all intents and purposes, this Classic Vintage tequila would be worthy of an "outstanding" or "great" rating if this were a wine. This eleven-year-old tequila is certified by the CRT and its offering will be the first of its kind outside of a select "inner circle" in Mexico.

$1000 a bottle = $200 a shot at a normal bar... so maybe $300 at Bellagio. We'll see what kind of mood I am in.

For what its worth, Hi-Time has an open bottle of this from wich Trey said is available for taste upon the purchase of a bottle. I still need to get down there to get mine.

So if you purchase, you can taste the one they have? That sounds good so you wouldnt have to open your own bottle but it would be a shame if you gagged in the store because of the taste after shelling out a grand on the bottle
