Soft, extremely pleasant sweet agave on the nose, slight dark sugars and vanilla, actually the Distiller notes from Stephanie are spot on.
That agave sugar sweetness is strong on the palate, it's definitely a sweeter anejo as such your mileage will vary with your preference for the sugars. The vanilla seems to have a naturally creamy middle and it stays warm and sweet all the way down. The barrel aging shows up in a slight bitterness but not really overpowering. It's not particularly complex as aged tequila goes, it brings some small oak notes and for agave distillate it works well.
I tend to avoid these celebrity signature brands simply because they don't typically deserve the money they receive for putting a name on a label and doing nothing else for what's in the bottle. If you like a smokey and rich tequila you'll get more from a Herradura or other well made tequila for less moola, but I certainly wouldn't turn this down as overall it's a good, aged, drinker.
Cheers!

@BeppeCovfefe I agree. It ranks pretty low on my list of favorite blancos. Too many good ones out there to spend money on that one, unless you’re really going for a sweet profile.
@ctbeck11 the blanco doesn't do it for me at all, it's just boring overpriced tequila.
@BeppeCovfefe Yes, I think the Reposado and Blanco are better than this one as well. I remember it tasting a bit chemically in a way that was more apparent on the Anejo.
@PBMichiganWolverine nope, have not tried it yet, just dug this out of my sample box and it looked like the most promising thing in it. I've had the Casamigos blanco, which is another not special except for the price juice. I'll give the Repo a shot since you mentioned it though. thanks and cheers!
Have you tried the respado ? It’s even better than this
