Corzo Tequila Anejo

A pretty smooth anejo, but with a straw-like initial flavor that I didn't care for, but it smooths out pretty well at the end. Nice deep golden color and a very handsome bottle for your collection.

Unlike others here, I paid a little less--I think 44$. The color is a light straw, reminding me of an oaked white wine color, like a chardonay. The aroma smells to me like a really good cognac, but still some intense alcohol on the nose. Initial taste has a bit of sweetness, smooth mouthfeel, and a pretty good woody and agave finish...even a little buttery if I wait for the bit of numbing to pass.

Personally, I think for the $, Milagro's anejo is a better QPR buy...but it's a bit sweeter too, so I suppose that's my slant. I don't like super sweet, but the Milagro is just so lovely for slow sipping.

i expected more. but an excellent tequila. presentation was state of the art. price was reasonable. i prefer silver tequilas but this anejo was very good. would definitely purchase again. not sure about the blending of science and tradition. but overall an excellent tequila.
