I kept seeing this bottle everywhere and never saw it. The reviews seemed mixed and the price seemed a bit high until I found it for $26 at Total Beverage (instead of around $45 like it is most places).

Aroma: A great agave/caramel/vanilla nose.
Initial taste: Pleasant agave and caramel. Not as sweet as the nose might suggest.
Body: A great, dark color and thick body. Some spice notes and plenty of wood and pepper come through in the body as well.
Finish: A nice heated and spicy finish to compliment the anejo sweetness. Maybe a bit more alcohol burn than I want from an anejo.

I can see why the reviews are mixed. Had I paid $45 for this bottle, I would have felt mixed about it as well. However, for $26 (or even the $30-35 range), this is a good value anejo that should please a wide variety of people. The bottle looks nice and is a really nice heavy quality.

The Bottle shape on this tequila is quite unique yet classy (almost womanly) drawing you in for that inital draw. hints of orange mix in with the light smoke and caramel on the nose. The initial taste carries on with the orange and caramel but adds notes of something sage like. The body is robust and extremely pleasant and the finish is long and mellow. All in all this is a very good product and has moved up my list. I am holding onto the last couple of glasses not wanting it to leave the cupboard.

On a recommendation I tried this bottle. I found it for about $30. To my surprise it was very good. I've tried tequila at twice the price and found El Mayor more enjoyable. Give it a shot or a sip.

Based on a recommendation (Thanks Eddie), I bought this tequila. It was inexpensive and very surprisingly good. My friends and I enjoyed it a lot. Have tried more expensive tequilas and always come back to El Mayor anejo. I drink it chilled from the freezer. If there was a category for best buy, I would give this tequila 100.

tequila shows good color and nice aroma. It has a nice body with hints of carmel and some butter. However, judging from color I had expected more, as from a tequila such as El Gran Jubileo Extra Anejo, my favorite. Still for the price El Mayor will always be on my self for friends. There is some initial heat at first and at the end, but nothing that would be considered out of the ordinary. A good tequila to try whether on a budget or out for a sip of a good tequila.
