Compoveda Extra Añejo Tequila

Tequila Extra Añejo — Jalisco, Mexico

Reviewed November 27, 2021 (edited May 29, 2023)
4.5
4.5 out of 5 stars
It’s rare, actually, only once before, that I’ve tasted a pour of tequila, and then right away buy a bottle. This is my 2nd time ever. I don’t know much about tequila, and hardly anything about this brand. But I had a pour over a relative’s place last night, and was mesmerized by it. This is not a summer light floral drink…it’s meant for cold dark winters. It’s heavy, sweet, and full of winter spices (cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves). I believe it’s matured in red wine casks, or finished…not sure. About 5 years of age, making it extra anejo. So—-you get the winter spices immediately…like having German mulled wine. Think High West Midwinter, but with a grassy finish. It’s a whiskey drinker’s tequila. The color struck me as well…deep reddish hue. Aroma is spicy , grassy. The taste is all Christmas. Winter spices and herbal. If you like High West Midwinter, this might be right up your alley. It’s slightly different with the grassy element, to be expected I guess with tequila. But the mid-palette is all winter spices.

    @PBMichiganWolverine I have one and it's good, but the red wine definitely overpowers the tequila (probably like the Apollo Auchroisk). Happy to send a sample of you're interested :)

    @ContemplativeFox I’ve never even heard of red wine finish with tequila. I guess that’s what is imparting the winter spices.

    Very interesting. I've always figured red wine casks were to strong for tequila, especially at this kind of age.
