Appearance: Crystal clear pale straw color. Aroma: Mild agave, with hint of oak and light fruit notes, i.e. pear and honey. Initial Taste: Agave, caramel, oak, spice, and mild fruit. Body: Medium-light body with medium tears; very light buttery mouth-feel. Flavors are well balanced. Finish: Short to medium smooth finish with peppery agave that is complimented with hints of caramel, oak, and spice. Presentation: Very distinctive hand-blown red bottle with a colorful “old” Mexico label. This is a smooth and balanced anejo but the flavors besides agave are light and the fruit flavors were difficult to discern. It is not bad for sipping, it’s just that nothing really stands out. The current retail price for Corralejo Anejo in Southern California is in the $37 to $49 range. It is a pretty good value around the $30 price point if you can find it on sale. ]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2014 02:18:11 +0000 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2855 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2855 Corralejo Anejo is one of my favorite anejos! A body and finish that are absolutely spectacular! The flavor is rich and full. An incredible sip across the board. For most this will be priced on the high-side, but it will be quite average for more experienced tequila fans. The presentation is elaborate with bottle that is a striking red that looks handsome in any setting. :) handsome in formal settings. Stand up for a formal salute for this drink! ]]> Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:52:33 +0000 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2700 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2700 This is my last review of the Corralejo line. I've been really impressed with rest of the line. Very good flavor and really good value. I hope the anejo is as good as his younger siblings. Aroma: Sweet cooked agave, vanilla and light citrus. Initial Taste: Agave, vanilla and a bit of earth and citrus. Body: Light anejo body. Not oily at all. Feels more like a reposado. Light vanilla, oak and spice (mostly pepper). Finish: A light finish that lasts a fairly short duration. Agave, light oak, pepper and a hint of mint. Good, but not memorable...but very smooth as well. This tequila is a pretty good value, but I think that I like the reposado better overall. Corralejo anejo is versatile enough to be sipper or a mixer and light enough to please most palates. I like it, but I don't really love it. The red bottle looks great, it's widely available and the price of under $40 is very good. I'd recommend it, but I'd recommend the blanco and repo from Corralejo more. ]]> Mon, 15 Oct 2012 04:07:51 +0000 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2535 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2535 Had it not been for a local bar that had me try a shot of this tequila I probably would have never tried it and that would be a shame as its in my top 5 favorites. You would NEVER think a $35 Anejo could be this good. The nose and the finish go so hand in hand together and thats an awesome thing because the nose is buttery/cream/butterscotch. There is a very minimal bit more alcohol burn than I would like but the finishing flavor is just so buttery. So glad I discovered it. ]]> Sun, 24 Jun 2012 01:56:55 +0000 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1422 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1422 i don't care for any of this brands tequila, just don't like it. ]]> Mon, 15 Mar 2010 03:26:56 +0000 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1245 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1245 The aroma was spice and a touch of vanilla with a hint of floral as well. The most prominent flavor throughout was a spice - almost a Christmas spice that I can't put my finger on. There was a pretty good amount of agave, a touch of pepper, although I was slightly off-put by the spice flavor. The bottle is tall, and a sharp color of red, which is classy, but not incredibly unique. I'd say this is a decent anejo, but nothing great and not worth getting again in my opinion. ]]> Fri, 21 Aug 2009 00:07:07 +0000 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=963 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=963 Tasted on 12/26/08 out of a snifter. This anejo that sipped more like a reposado to me. Go figure. Still, it was a decent anejo, although I found nothing special to report, and a bit overpriced though. Aroma: straight up vanilla for my nose! Initial Taste: A semi oily mouth feel, it was sweet with a slight bitterness. Initial taste of cherry (?). Body: A body of agave, spices, and cinnamon. Finish: A short heated finish with a lingering of vanilla. ]]> Sat, 03 Jan 2009 12:19:54 +0000 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=461 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=461 Tasted in a rocks glass on January 25, 2008 showing long, thin and medium lasting legs down the glass. Tasted in a bar along with food & friends unable to give my full attention for a dedicated review. Though here it goes. Corralejo Anejo Color: light carmel color Aroma: oak and vanilla Taste: light wood, fruit, vanilla, light agave with a less oily body than Corralejo Reposado, long smooth finish with a smooth burn A good anejo for the price and even complimented by guests at the bar that have not experienced an anejo tequila before. The Corralejo Anejo would be a good rookie sipping tequila. ]]> Sun, 27 Jan 2008 04:55:42 +0000 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=200 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=200 Corralejo Anejo NOM 1368 Tasted 4/9/07. The tequila is pale yellow in color. Beginning with intense fruity, earthy, and floral aromas, the deeper aromas include moderate caramel and a hint of spicy scents. On the tip of the tongue there is a mellow and soft sensation that is followed by a sweet, somewhat bitter taste. Upon tasting, the tequila has intense earth with moderate fruity, floral, and agave flavors. Lastly, there is a hint of caramel flavor. Corralejo Anejo tequila finishes with a medium duration of flavor and numbing alcohol intensity. Overall, I rate this tequila at the B level. ]]> Mon, 28 May 2007 04:47:46 +0000 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=154 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=154 Sweet and smooth ]]> Tue, 22 May 2007 23:28:21 +0000 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=133 https://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=133 I've got to tell you, Corralejo Anejo is one of my favorite anejos! A little empty on the nose and the initial taste is very soft, but the body and finish are absolutely spectacular! The flavor is rich and full. An incredible sip across the board. For the average liquor buyer, this will be priced on the high-side, but it will be quite average for more experienced tequila fans. The presentation is not as elaborate or artisan as others, but the bottle is a striking red that looks handsome in any setting. ]]> Sat, 21 Apr 2007 16:09:24 +0000
