I bought it because it was a couple of dollars cheaper than the 1800 AƱejo, and it's not awful. However, the oak flavor in it seems more like fresh oak lumber rather than something older and more mellow. I get the impression the oak wasn't even charred at all; it's more like I'm in a Home Depot buying some really nice wood. It's great for lumber; not so much for sipping. I will not be buying this again. ]]> Tue, 15 Sep 2015 02:31:29 +0000 <![CDATA[Cazadores Tequila Anejo: ]]> https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=3341 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=3341 Used Glencarin Glass for Tasting Nose - Agave, Citrus, Pine, Algae Initial Taste - Sweet, Citrus, Body - Silky Texture, Agave, Butterscotch, Vanilla, Almond, Marzipan, Bourbon Finish - Vanilla, Light Oak, very weak finish, not much there Smoothness - Extremely Smooth, to the point of being too smooth Price - $40.00, too high for the lack of complexity or punch Presentation - Bottle is a nice shape, raised glass deer head, paper description label, Wood and cork stopper, would be a great looking bottle if it weren't for the decal above the deer head. (on the website it appears the bottle will change, new bottle doesn't look good at all) This is an easy to drink tequila. Tastes a lot like bourbon with a little agave mixed in. Which is ultimately why my scores aren't all that high. There just isn't a whole lot of excitement or complexity. I will update review when I get brandy snifters and see if that brings out more flavor. ]]> Sat, 29 Nov 2014 15:32:16 +0000 <![CDATA[Cazadores Tequila Anejo: ]]> https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2642 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2642 This may not be a perfect anejo, but I think it's highly enjoyable; particularly at the price point. In Ontario, this tequila can be had for between $40 and $43. By comparison, other anejos available at the LCBO: Don Julio 1942 - $139, Gran Patron Burdeos - $699, Avion Anejo - $95, Patron Anejo - $100, Sierra Milenario Extra Anejo - $68. Now, while this anejo is not as enjoyable as the 1942, it is certainly much nicer than the Patron. It is not terribly complex, but there are enough hints of wood, vanilla and spice to make it enjoyable. Considering the price point and the other available options, I would say that the Cazadores is a no brainer to buy if looking for an anejo in Ontario. ]]> Tue, 11 Sep 2012 18:12:17 +0000 <![CDATA[Cazadores Tequila Anejo: ]]> https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2569 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2569 Cazadores is a strange brand. I'm luke warm on some of them and head over heels in love with the Extra Anejo. This one is in between in terms of age...so I should like it, right? Aroma: Not much agave, but plenty of vanilla and oak. Initial Taste: Mildly sweet. Kind of bland. Vanilla and oak are the predominant flavors. Body: Medium body. Nothing special. The wood flavor is more forward than any here. It's a fairly bland anejo. Maybe a hint of fruity sweetness. Finish: No character at all. It almost just disappears. The oak flavor lingers a bit and it's easy to drink, but there's no umph at the end of this one to speak of. This bottle runs in the $35-40 range most place. For that price, I could name 50 tequilas off the top of my head that I would rather drink for $40 or less. It's not bad...it's just not good either. And for the price, I hope for something better. ]]> Sat, 14 Jul 2012 03:42:18 +0000 <![CDATA[Cazadores Tequila Anejo: ]]> https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2467 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2467 Bought it duty free in Mexico and was already late. Bottom line, it was a hit and run... In any case, I am not a pro but what I do look for is an "oh nice" when you smell it, first sip needs to be "oh nice" as well and finally sit down and try to figure what you are tasting. Yes, sweet, buttery, nutty and tons of other tasts come to mind. With this one I had an "oh nice" feeling (chocolaty comes to mind), first sip was surprisingly mild (I did check the proof to make sure this was Tequila, as I said, hit and run at the aurport). The aftertaste was nice. Makes you wonder what the next sip brings and if it would enhance it or maybe switch over to something else. And I sampled every single bar/Tequila in Mexico DF (it did feel like that next morning) from expensive to medium to 'insider tips'. This one is good. ]]> Tue, 08 May 2012 22:24:55 +0000 <![CDATA[Cazadores Tequila Anejo: ]]> https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1398 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1398 bought 2/15/10, Paid $40, it looks good, bottle is nice but once in the glass its all down hill from there. Not much of a nose, i smell to figure out what is ahead. If I knew I would not have drank it. This is the worst $ I have spent on tequila, dare I say worse than Patro$#@! agh. Maybe I,m a bit of a snob, with over 20 quality anejos at my disposal my taste buds went on strike here. Im not gona get it to it here. Its not that cheap and has no saving grace. Avoid this agave. ]]> Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:20:35 +0000 <![CDATA[Cazadores Tequila Anejo: ]]> https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1368 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1368 Beautiful bottle presentation. Nice aroma with smoke and vanilla. It moves from a sweet, smooth start to a strong, peppery burn. Not unpleasant while sipping on a cold winter day. ]]> Sat, 13 Feb 2010 22:35:28 +0000 <![CDATA[Cazadores Tequila Anejo: ]]> https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1185 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1185 Bright gold in the Reidel glass, wood and smoke are the predominant aromas - earth and vanilla soon appear. Somewhat heavy in the mouth, its sweet opening fails to lead to much. There is little agave presence to distinguish this product from other aged spirits. It fades away slowly, but without much fanfare and no memorable notes, other than its pervasive woodiness and a lingering alcohol burn. Price is modest - but you get what you pay for. I will not be buying this anejo again. ]]> Sun, 21 Jun 2009 23:17:54 +0000 <![CDATA[Cazadores Tequila Anejo: ]]> https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1174 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1174 This tequila is very smooth and flavorful but a bit too woody for my taste. I am a fan of the reposado Cazadores but not so much with this anejo. Cazadores tequilas are a great value, I think you get a great tequila for the money ]]> Sat, 13 Jun 2009 14:46:13 +0000 <![CDATA[Cazadores Tequila Anejo: ]]> https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1003 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1003 I sipped this out of a shot glass after eating pizza (not ideal, I know). Cost me about $45 in MI. Nice scent, not extraordinary, but nice - some floral, pepper, and very slight vanilla presence. I loved the initial taste - very sweet, almost buttery, which was evident to me in the body as well. The body was more oily than I expected, not too much, but definitely there. The finish was a little warm and oily, and flavors were slightly peppery, oak, with a little more subtle agave presence than I would hope for, but delicious still. This is a great value anejo, and I'd recommend it, but not my favorite. In the price range I think Don Julio's anejo has it beat hands down. ]]> Thu, 22 Jan 2009 19:19:12 +0000 <![CDATA[Cazadores Tequila Anejo: ]]> https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=925 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=925 Tasted on 12/22/08 out of a snifter at home. Purchased bottle for $38 bux. This line is unique in that I like the blanco the least, and their anejo the most. This is a very good anejo, and for the price I'd say Ill definitely put this anejo is one of my more liked anejos. Also, for some reason, the presentation on their anjeo is alot more appealing than the rest of the line. Very nice cork stopper. Good job, Cazadores! Aroma:A strong presence of fruit and floral, with a lighter presence of vanilla. Initial Taste: A semi oily mouth feel with a very nice entry, its sweet with no bitterness and the first taste being of fruit. Body: A somewhat mild body ( in the agave regard), with hints of wood and smoke. Finish: A semi heated and sweet finish of long duration with a woody/fruity lingering. ]]> Mon, 22 Dec 2008 22:22:44 +0000 <![CDATA[Cazadores Tequila Anejo: ]]> https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=877 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=877 I really like this tequila. It is very smooth and flavorful, with a great smoky taste and nice spicy agave flavor. It is light and clean on the tongue, really enjoyed it as a sipper. Great flavor balance between wood and agave! ]]> Wed, 22 Oct 2008 17:43:08 +0000 <![CDATA[Cazadores Tequila Anejo: ]]> https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=285 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=285 Good well balanced anejo. A sweet vanilla nose, followed by a good agave taste, the finish is a little strong but that's what I like in a good anejo. I can get this at a great price of $47 a liter, if you can get it for this or cheaper, you won't be disappointed. I'll be keeping this in stock at my bar. :) ]]> Wed, 01 Aug 2007 23:22:17 +0000 <![CDATA[Cazadores Tequila Anejo: ]]> https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=198 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=198 Cazadores Anejo NOM 1487 Tasted 4/2/07. This tequila is golden brown in color and has a intense aromas of floral and earth. There are also moderate aromas of fruit, vanilla, and caramel followed by mild spice and smoke. A mellow taste on the tip of the tongue leads to a sweet and low bitter tequila taste. The Cazadores Anejo flavor contains intense flavors of floral and earth followed by moderate agave, fruit, and spice accents. Mild notes of vanilla, caramel, and smoke also accompany this tequila. Cazadores Anejo finishes with a medium-to-long duration of flavor and a numbing alcohol feeling. This tequila has been awarded the overall rating of an A-. ]]> Mon, 28 May 2007 04:42:13 +0000 <![CDATA[Cazadores Tequila Anejo: ]]> https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=90 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=90 A good Anejo, but seems to lack the subtle flavors of the better anejos. ]]> Sat, 31 Mar 2007 02:20:47 +0000
