Sniff: Light & Smooth Sip: Very smooth, maybe too smooth? Good intro to tequila sipping. After: Long & pleasant, with a touch of charcoal at the very end. Overall: A fine tequila to have on hand for those who have never sipped a tequila. ]]> Wed, 12 Jan 2011 03:07:21 -0500 911-1161 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/1800-tequila-reserva-anejo.html Kind of an odd wood flavor. Smell is spicy and a little smokey. Just not a great anejo overall. Not terrible, but really not good either. Tastes similar to a lot of reposado's to me in that I don't really enjoy the wood flavor as it's more like a "wood flavored liquer" to me than a softened agave liquor. Not sure if that makes sense or not, but that's the best way I know how to explain it. Bottom line: even for the money this isn't a great anejo. It's a step above Jose Cuervo gold, but that's about the biggest compliment I can give it. ]]> Tue, 09 Jun 2009 01:25:23 -0400 911-806 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/1800-tequila-reserva-anejo.html Colour is an unusual dark copper. Nose suggests nuts & spice, sweet but faint agave -medium body offers a flash of sweetness, but gives way immediately to a persistent bitterness. There is a hint of smoke and agave, but the bitterness overwhelms all. Fade is long with a sharp alcohol bite. It fails to invite a second taste. Package is attractive and certainly promises better, but overall, this offering from Cuervo lacks character and definition. I would never, never offer it to a guest. The bottle was a gift - I'm not sure what to do with it now. ]]> Mon, 29 Sep 2008 21:15:09 -0400
