Tequila Añejo — Mexico

Tequila night! I picked up this bottle from K&L a few months ago. For whatever reason, Chamucos blanco and reposado seem to be readily available, but the anejo is much less common. Since we're headind into a warm Labor Day weekend (with the New England winter potentially right around the corner), I was in the mood for something from the wonderful land of Mexico.
This is a prototypical tequila. Plenty of agave on the nose and palate, with some pineapple and pepper thrown in. There's a bit of spice on the finish that I'd say most closely resembles nutmeg. I didn't find any strong barrel notes from the oak, which is typical for me with anejo tequilas (I have yet to do a meaningful exploration of extra anejos). Overall, it's an easy and pleasant sipper. A very nice if unsurprising and unspectacular offering.
I bought this for $46, which I think is a reasonable price. Not only do I like the dram; I love the bottle and the label as well. Perfect for a tequila! "Bottleoir", is you will.
This would be a great introductory anejo tequila, as well as a great tequila for anyone looking for an easy, familiar dram.
