Don Julio Añejo Tequila

Tequila Añejo — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico

Reviewed June 16, 2021 (edited February 21, 2023)
3.5
3.5 out of 5 stars
So I'm thinking a bottle of 1942 would be a good way to go, but finding one and then shelling out 200$ for it is chore enough, but WAIT maybe Don Julio Anejo might be a close second to the pricey and somewhat rarer top top shelf Don Julio. The nose on this is dark, only moderately sweet, candy cinnamon, nearly a burnt quality of cinnamon bark, this is by far the forward and overwhelming note. Perhaps some vegetal even some savory mezcal and fruit sugar notes underneath trying to peak through all that hot cinnamon. The front keeps true to that cinnamon motif, there is some slight hints of vanilla and sugars, it's amazingly light and low in ethyl tones, not much else develops it's just more mild warm cinnamon sweetness as it fades to finish. The cleaness is impressive as it's completely free of any real chemical or artificial type tastes, smoothness comes to mind as a descriptor. What you get out of Don Julio Anejo is largely dependent on your penchant for that big cinnamon note that is prevalent from start to finish. Again it isn't overly sweet, and not cloying, in fact more of a dark, baking cinnamon note is what really lies beneath. All and all this isn't a bad Anejo at all, but you find more complex Anejo's in Casamigo's, Expresiones del Corazón, and Adictivo. Don Julio Anejo winds up being a tequila I would drink, just not one I would go out of my way for. Cheers!
