Thick body. Aroma: Almost like a cross between bourbon and tequila. Citrus and wood are prominent. Initial Taste: Sweet agave with nice wood tastes as well. A hint of bourbon with a bit more sweetness from the agave and citrus. Finish / Aftertaste: Very pleasant, long finish. Smooth with a pleasant alcohol heat. Don Pilar Anejo is a great value at under $40. Great character and flavor. I'd recommend it to anyone...especially those that love whiskey as well. ]]> Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:36:43 -0500 1149-1864 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/don-pilar-tequila-anejo.html Sweet agave scent with a light cherry undertone. Silky initial feel with the sweet agave leading to a solid body where the cherry comes out. The finish has a nice light spice to it that pleasantly warms the tongue. Bottle is nice and simple, cork stopper. Cant beat the price @ $36 at Hi Time ]]> Tue, 01 Mar 2011 03:23:20 -0500 1149-1530 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/don-pilar-tequila-anejo.html I drank this Añejo out of Snifter... The nose is a Cognac smack down. Overwhelming nose control is commandeered by this spirits Cognac overload. The note regarding this Tequila State that is fermented with Champaign yeast. C'est la vie! The body is thin and slightly a cheap thrill that that you may be OK with, in a completely dark room. The Taste is mild and has hidden hints of Agave. Its finish yields France, flame and fortune. Over all, this Añejo reminds me of a smooth Cognac, but not really of Tequila. This is the most important aspect of this spirit. Choose to purchase this accordingly. ]]> Wed, 12 May 2010 07:09:12 -0400 1149-1408 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/don-pilar-tequila-anejo.html bought 3/1/10, paid $40. had 2 oz from big 6 oz shot glass neat. Medium amber color, medium oil, leaves thick tears and will clump together after a time. Nice sweet agave nose, hints of caramel and wood that remained the same over the duration of the sampling. An alcohol tinge on the tongue at first, then a small bite at the end that takes a bit of time to develop, minimal heat. Has a nice wood/nut agave finish that clings for awhile. A very nice tequila to be sure, not as complex as some, but better than most. Presentation is very good but not great, when you factor in cost, this is a steal. ]]> Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:34:29 -0500 1149-1175 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/don-pilar-tequila-anejo.html This is one of the best new tequilas out there. This tequila that it's price point is unbeatable. It has a great finish with notes of maple syrup and toasted nuts. I won't buy another anejo again, I can't wait for them to come out with a blanco and reposado. ]]> Mon, 15 Jun 2009 15:17:05 -0400 1149-1127 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/don-pilar-tequila-anejo.html Don Pilar Anejo * Tasted Blind May 2009 * Riedel Tequila Glass Appearance: copper, golden hues - thick body and slow tears Aroma: woody agave, notes of citrus and butter Initial Taste: light sweet agave and mild wood Spirit Body: buttery agave and hint of roasted nuts Finish / Aftertaste: warm mouthfeel, medium length finish with butter / nut aftertaste Don Pilar Anejo is full of excellent flavors, well balanced, and enjoyable all the way through.
