Tastes

The only reason I’m giving this a 4.5 is because fuentesco has so much more on their extra Anejo fleet that I can’t rate them ALL 5 stars. Yellowed marshmallow, true classic Anejo flavor but covering all the bitter sides of it. It almost taste like you made an “okay” Anejo, AMAZING. but by no means an I shooting this brand down. It’s by far my favorite Anejo I’ve had that’s older than 4 years. You taste the sweet from the bourbon and tequila, the bitter from the wine as well as a very very little sour note from the wine barrel. It’s a trip but a very short one. as most tequilas are. But WORTH THE BUY!!!!

I only gave this a 4.5 because I know their older ones are going to be amazing and I can’t just rate all of them 5... this gives Anejo a whole different take. Yellowed marshmallow in the middle, the classic Anejo flavor. But the alcohol bitterness is taken over by the wine barrel, you can taste the wood and the notes from bourbon and wine. It floats over the middle of the tongue but slams flavor on all 4 corners. Currently my favorite Anejo thus far and at a GREAT price.

This is almost nothing like a mezcal the smoke is very distant from what you will usually expect. It reminds me of an expensive bourbon or a decent light scotch. It is currently my favorite thing to drink neat.
