Tezon Tequila Anejo

Rich and velvety, Tezon Tequila Anejo is amber in color and is aged for 18 to 20 months in seasoned white oak barrels. This Anejo is creamy and smooth, with tastes of rich butterscotch and vanilla, with notes of citrus and mellow oak.

The Difference

Agave - The red, mineral-rich volcanic soil and cool temperatures of Jalisco, Mexico provide the perfect environment for harvesting the blue agave that is unparalleled in size, taste, and value. We hand-harvest and prepare the ripe agave plants to ensure only the best go into Tezon. This care gives Tezon its superior aroma and taste.

Fire - Unlike most other tequila manufacturers, who quickly cook their agave for 24 hours, Tezon slowly roasts its agave in traditional brick ovens for three days, giving it a fuller organic flavor.

Tahona - The cornerstone of Tezon's production process, this traditional grinding wheel made from volcanic "tezontle" is used to crush the agave fibers and separate the pulp from the juice.

Spirit - The pulp and juice of the crushed agave is distilled twice in small copper pot stills to create tequila that is uniquely clean and smooth.

I love this tequila. I loved scotch first and to me this is a scotch drinkers tequila. The nose is peppery-spicy with sweet undertones and a hint of smoke. The initial taste is smooth and sweet with some pepper. It's full-bodied and creamy with many different complex flavors that shift in your mouth with duration from pepper to sweet caramel to vanilla to smoke and oak and back to pepper before leaving your mouth with a smooth, long finish of tongue-tingling eucalyptus and smoked oak. I have yet to find a better tasting, sweet, highland region anejo. Maybe there is one out there but until I find it this is my anejo of choice.

I picked up a bottle of Tezon anejo after reading a favorable review in the Austin Chronicle. My wife and I drank it over a period of couple of months, mostly having an oz or two in a tequila glass before heading out for entertainment or football games. It's been a couple of weeks since I last drank any of this anejo, so I don't quite remember the aroma, but I do remember the taste and I had a very favorable impression. Initial taste is earth and agave with oak overtones, followed by a silky wash of caramel and vanilla. Smooth finish. The taste was great, but equally as important to me was that the buzz was quite clean, like that you would get from a quality vodka, only with the loco thing you get with tequila. Frankly, when drinking tequila, the alcohol high is just as important to me as the taste. Overall, this anejo ranks in the top quarter of tequilas that I have had and I have been a consumer of quality tequilas both in Texas and in Mexico for over twenty years. That makes me curious as to why my experience was so different than that represented by the previous review. Are there differences in the batches perhaps, or maybe just the tastes of the reviewers?

Tezon Anejo NOM 1111 Tasted on 4/19/07 at 9:45pm. I tried this tequila at El Patron Bar and Grill in Sacramento, CA and tasted it in a martini glass. While this bottle has a unique design, the tequilas quality versus price is the lowest out of any tequila I have rated. With a yellow golden color, this tequila has intense aromas of floral and earth. Other aromas include mild fruit and smoke. Due to the use of a martini glass (El Patron?s normal tequila glass) it was extremely hard to get any aroma from the tequila. The tequila has a oily mouth feel and on the first sip is sweet with moderate to mild bitterness. Tezon Anejo has intense aromas of earth followed by moderate to intense notes of chemicals, floral, and wood. With a medium to long duration of flavor, tastes of moderate agave and mild fruit and spice bring this tequila to a numbing finish. Tezon Anejo has received the rating of 84 points out of 100.
