Costco's first crack at their own brand of tequila. From a well respected NOM 1472, I knew for sure that it would be worth the price, but an anejo for $22 for 1L seemed to good to be true. In some ways it was...in other ways, not so much.
Aroma: More wood than agave. The agave scent is still there, but not as much as I'd like.
Initial taste: Wood and agave with some light earth and spice.
Body: Medium heavy body. The oak flavors take over a bit more than they should in a good tequila.
Finish: The aging makes it nice and smooth, but there isn't really a great linger of any kind on the end of this drink.
The one note that seems odd is that while I usually use a blanco or repo in margaritas, this anejo makes a great and extra smooth margarita. It serves well as a good value all purpose tequila. For $22, it's a steal and I'll always have a bottle on hand.
Saw this at Costco for $22 and, at that price, I had to try it.
The initial aroma was somewhat overpowering, and not in a good way. It was heavily medicinal in nature, with strong notes of alcohol. In my experience, most good sipping tequilas avoid this type of aroma/nose. It wasn't a good first impression. I poured a finger's worth over ice, swirled it around for a few seconds to chill it, then drained the tequila into a sipping glass. A few minutes of breathing didn't improve the nose at all. Ah well, on to the tasting.
Based on the nose, I wasn't expecting much. But I was pleasantly surprised. The tequila was easy on the tongue and smooth on the finish. The taste was pleasant and thoroughly enjoyable. It's not the best sipping tequila available, but it's more than passable for my tastes--much better than some of the pricier selections I've had in the past.
Based on the combination of taste, finish and price, I rated the enjoyability of this tequila a solid 93. I can see making this tequila a staple in my liquor cabinet. It will be great on those evenings when a good, basic sipping tequila is needed.
Got it from Costco, good tequila for the price. Great in margaritas or to sip in a snifter.
Best Tequila for the price. It was pretty good.
