A simply amazing anejo from a great lesser known line.

Aroma: Caramel, Oak and Agave. A great nose.
Initial Taste: Sweet caramel and agave with hints of spice and wood.
Body: A great full body that coats the mouth and allows you to taste all of the flavors of oak, caramel, brown spices, agave and pepper.
Finish: A great complex finish that lingers for a medium length. You taste something new and wonderful every time you drink it.

At $40-50, this is a steal. The reposado is equally so. This is a real gem of an anejo that is aged perfectly. The bottle is decent, but the fact that it houses such a good tequila is the best part of it.

The eldest brother of a good line. The nose in the anejo captures the oak more than the repo for sure. There is less caramel in the nose on this than in the repo, and a bit more spice.

Once it enters the mouth, the wood backs off, and the caramel comes through more. There is balance between the caramel and the oak, though, with a nice presence of the sweet cooked agave. The body is medium weight, with just a bit of oiliness to coat the mouth. There is also a dryness aspect to this, as with the repo. Not a lot of burn in the mouth and tongue, but just a bit of dry heat.

Incredibly smooth finish on this. Even smoother than the blanco and repo, with just a brief bit of heat. I really enjoy the lingering aftertaste here. I could probably sip this all night.

The bottle on the anejo is totally different than the blanco and repo in shape and size, but it is still quality glass. They stick with the plastic stopper, but the one on this bottle seems a little tighter.

At just under $40(for me), this is an exceptional anejo value!
