Don Fulano Tequila Anejo Imperial

Tasted out of a caballito. I hate to say I wasnt very impressed with this tequila. Maybe it's because it's aged in new french oak barrels. I'm not an extra anejo expert, and as always this is my humble opinion.

Aroma: Bery, caramel, and licorice (black).
Initial Taste: An oily mouth feel with a sweet entry. Initial taste was of black licorice.
Body: A body consisting of caramel, very slight agave, olive, and earth.
Finish: A smooth finish with no heat, but a black licorice aftertaste I didn't enjoy.

Don Fulano Imperial Anejo NOM 1146 Tasted 5/21/07. On this date I tried this tequila by doing a blind tasting at Zocalo using a snifter. This tequila is an amber brown color and has intense aromas of fruit. There are also moderate aromas of vanilla, spice, and caramel followed by mild earth, floral, and smoke. A soft taste on the tip of the tongue leads to a sweet tequila taste with a small amount of bitterness. The Don Fulano Imperial Anejo flavor contains intense caramel flavors with moderate agave and earth. The tequila also has mild fruit, floral, chemical, and smoke with hints of vanilla and spice. Don Fulano Imperial Anejo finishes with a medium to long duration of flavor and a numbing alcohol feeling. This tequila has been awarded the overall rating of 89 points out of 100. I personally think the regular Don Fulano Anejo is better than the Imperial.
