I'm sitting here drinking a glass of this Conde Azul Anejo and I honestly can't decide whether I like it or not. There is something about it that intrigues me though and I keep going back for more.

The nose is not wholly pleasant. There are notes of grassiness (which I'm more accustomed to in a blanco), and then there are notes of spice - a gingerbread smell - which I enjoy and find fascinating.

Agave is present in the initial taste and intensifies in the medium-duration finish, which I love. There are also notes of coffee and caramel in this medium bodied tequila. And since I don't drink coffee, it could be that flavor that is putting me off (just slightly). The finish is smooth with a balance of alcohol, maybe tipping the scales slightly toward sharp.

The bottle is gorgeous - a piece of artwork in any tequila collection. I think I paid $67 for the bottle. Well worth it in my opinion. It's really an interesting tequila, but I must recommend that you try this one before you buy it. It may not be for everyone.
