Sin Rival extra anejo is made the traditional way in brick ovens and the agave is cooked for about 50% longer than traditional tequilas; it shows in the flavor profile. Nose: Floral, cooked agave and wood up front. Grass and fruit in the background. Initial taste: Semi-sweet with no bitterness. Body: Medium bodied with good color and richness. Oil is well balanced and allows the flavors to develop on the palate. Finish: Wood and agave fade to dry fruit, floral, grass, and spice notes. This is an extra anejo that truly celebrates the agave flavors. Tasted side-by-side with the Sin Rival blanco, you can see that the tequila remains largely the same, just with increased complexity and flavor -- the agave is never hidden. I think that's something to be commended, especially with a tequila that is this smooth, this old, and this tasty. I found it for $80, and I feel that's a pretty decent considering I prefer it to some extra anejos that are more than twice the price, but it is very difficult to acquire (especially if you just want to taste it). ]]> Thu, 18 Aug 2011 15:32:49 +0000
