Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Anejo

This is a sipping tequila, smooth and tasty, but I think it's price will stop most people from trying it, but do yourself a favor and sip slowly and enjoy.

I recieved this tequila as a gift in March'06, finally opened it on Christmas'06. I was a little leary seeing the Cuervo name but after one sip all that disappeared. It has a peculiar nose and a very strong vanilla scent. You can taste the agave but also the oak, I know it's strange but they seem to have it balanced perfectly. The only thing I don't care for is the price, but at least I didn't buy this one ;)

Very good tequila. Dark, with very good body, tastes variety of flavours like caramel, oak and a little "toasted sensation". The only bad detail is the price, it's a very good tequila but for sure there are other tequilas "añejos or extra añejos" that can give this one a very tight match at a very lower price (comparing with this one). The over price affects the enjoyability because you expect a divine elixir for the price you're paying and finally you see that it is just a very good tequila but nothing extremely amazing.

Is an excellent tequila that makes you bright in a good dinner, because it is a very good tequila and even more because everyone will know what is the price of the bottle.

It was a pretty good tequila. I was especially impressed with the finish, it was incredibly clean and smooth. The smells that unlocked after stirring for a little while were very pronounced. I was hesitant at first simply because of the Jose name but it was pretty good over all. As far as presentation they could have done better

Carameled and Woody tasting, nice long final, very good aroma but over priced (not excesively over priced but you have the sense that you can have some a little bit better for the price) to me, even in México you can find tequilas "artesanales añejos" that costs a third part or half of this one, of course the knowing that you paid a lot and is not the very best tequila affects the enjoyability.

Acaramelado y amaderado, tiene un buen y largo final, tiene un buen aroma pero esta sobrevaluado (no excesivamente sobrevaluado pues al final es un buen tequila, pero te deja la sensación de que pudiste obtener algo mejor) para mi, incluso en México puedes encontrar tequilas artesanales añejos que cuestan la tercera parte o la mitad que éste. Por supuesto saber que pagaste mucho y no es realmente el mejor tequila que hayas probado afecta el ser disfrutado al máximo.
