This tequila was blind tested, early in my tequila life, with 9 other tequilas (luckily this was an early one!!)

The presentation is amber in color. The nose is full of vanilla, caramel and mild fruit.

Initial taste is sharp and 'alcoholy' to me. Further tasting reveals the same alcoholy taste, with muted caramel and flora. A significant amount of woodiness can be tasted in the tequila as well. Unfortunately, I don't find any 'agave' in the pallete.

Gran Centenario Leyenda Extra Anejo NOM 1122 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 earth, floral, and vanilla followed by mild caramel. A soft taste on the tip of the tongue leads to a low amount of sweetness with a moderate to bitter amount of bitterness. The Gran Centenario Leyenda Extra Anejo flavor contains moderate caramel, chemicals, and earth flavors with mild floral, agave, fruit, and spice. The tequila also has hints of vanilla and smoke. Gran Centenario Leyenda Extra Anejo finishes with a medium to long duration of flavor and a numbing alcohol feeling. This tequila has been awarded the overall rating of 87 points out of 100.
