I can't believe how good this tequila is, gobs and gobs of vanilla, oak, caramel and the finish reminds me of honey. The nose is like butterscotch candy, and smooth as a baby's.... Just a wonderful product... my new favorite :).

Pueblo Viejo Orgullo Anejo: tasted 4/1/08, 8pm at my home in a Riedel. Price was $40 for the bottle and presentation is standard, but elegant.

Orgullo Anejo has a deep, rich amber color. The dominant aromas in this tequila are undeniably vanilla and caramel. There are also floral hints adding to the all-around sweetness of the aroma. Mellow and soft, Orgullo Anejo is lighter in the mouth for an anejo. It maintains a remarkable amount of agave flavor for an aged tequila with no trace of bitterness. Mild fruity and moderate wood notes round out this fine product. Orgullo Anejo finishes with an extremely long duration and just a subtle hint of alcohol.

I have to say that, for the price, it may be hard to beat this anejo. The intense vanilla and caramel aromas/flavors make me question the possible use of "magic" here; but it is not overdone and I would absolutely recommend this product.

Purchased from Ramirez. Was intrigued by the reviews stating that this was a lot of bang for the buck. The Aroma was a subtle fruit and caramel but not that strong. When I tasted this tequila I noticed that it was thin, somewhat dry. Some people like this feel for a tequila, however I like my anejos to taste sweet and almost syrupy (i.e. Don Julio). I agree with the previous reviews calling the taste mellow and soft. I would say that this reminded me a tad of Herradura in this respect. The tequila followed with moderate notes of agave and the same caramel and fruit that was evident in the nose. The finish had a long duration with a medium, spicy burn. Overall, this is a good value for around $40, however for my tastes and a few dollars more, I would much rather have Don Julio Anejo for it's aroma and sweet citrusy taste or the 1921 Especial (though technically a reposado). I would rate this at the B-level.

Pueblo Viejo Orgullo Anejo. Tasted 1/8/08 in Cabo San Lucas. New to me when I found it, purchased and sipped over the past five months. Smokey and complex, smooth but not too much so. Rich flavor and almost sweet going down. My new favorite.

Orgullo Anejo NOM 1103 Tasted on 8/27/07 at 2:00pm. I tried this tequila at my house out of a Riedel. The tequila is a golden amber brown color. Orgullo’s aromas consist of intense vanilla, caramel, and floral aspects followed by moderate smoke. On the lighter side, this Anejo has mild earth, fruit, and spice. On tongue, this tequila is mellow and has a thin to medium mouth feel. While the tequila has heavy agave flavor, it has a low amount of sweetness and no bitterness. The flavor of this tequila has intense agave, vanilla, and caramel followed by moderate notes of floral and wood. Upon finishing this tequila, there is a long duration of flavor and numbing alcohol intensity. I have rated this tequila at 94 out of 100 points.
