Tastes

Warm. Smooth. Hints of sweetness, slight vanilla, hints of caramel. Really great agave without the bite. Love this one.

Have to mix this. It’s not a sipper. Trying to drink through my inventory. Not awful in a Paloma.

Damn. This is good. Complex. I taste wood, slight rock-candy sweetness, a nice non-harsh warming finish with just the right agave hit.

While the process of “hey let’s make an Anejo then filter it so it’s clear like a blanco” confuses me I did enjoy this one. It’s definitely thinner than a traditional Anejo but that’s probably to be expected with the style. A solid sipper but I wouldn’t rush to have another one.

This comes full circle for me since Cuervo is the sinister brand that has caused so many mutilated memories of what people think tequila is. Don’t get it twisted, this is crafted using old world methods and is additive free (I believe) - lots of great sweetness here in the form of vanilla and caramel. More of that vegetal agave hit than most extra Anejos but for me that’s not a bad thing at all. A nice sipper.

I call this “Costcomigos” - do a side by side comparison and the only difference you’ll notice is slightly more burn on this. The bad news is that there’s probably heavy additive use to achieve the flavor profile. If I’m sipping more than one drink I’ll start off with something better and switch to this.

My absolute favorite mixing tequila. This is the base of all of my margaritas and palomas. Tough to find in PA unfortunately but I always have two in house.

My absolute favorite reposado. Smooth, slight toffee, beautifully balanced peppery finish.
