What an interesting tequila this is. I'm composing these tasting notes along side my tasting notes on Mi Familia Flores' standard Anejo. And it is almost like they are two different tequilas completely.
The nose on this Anejo Cristalino is pretty devoid of that familiar agave scent but instead you get a super interesting vanilla pound cake thing going on with maybe some lemon buttercream? But its so faint and so delicate, you can hardly even smell anything at all.
The taste is just as interesting as the nose. Luckily, the subtle nature of the nose doesn't carry into the taste and this tequila is full of character. Vanilla and butterscotch kick off the sweetness but some agave is thrown in with spicy cinnamon red hots and some interesting herbal eucalyptus. There's definitely some tongue tingle from the cinnamon as you move toward the finish.
The finish keeps the sweetness. There's a vanilla coke thing going here - vanilla with some tongue fizz from the cinnamon that's long gone but has left a signature tongue tingle.
Boy this one is very enjoyable too although I'd say the Reposado Cristalino is, so far; my favorite of the bunch. Makes me want to collect them all and try em out.
