Review Detail

Purchased from Ramirez. Was intrigued by the reviews stating that this was a lot of bang for the buck. The Aroma was a subtle fruit and caramel but not that strong. When I tasted this tequila I noticed that it was thin, somewhat dry. Some people like this feel for a tequila, however I like my anejos to taste sweet and almost syrupy (i.e. Don Julio). I agree with the previous reviews calling the taste mellow and soft. I would say that this reminded me a tad of Herradura in this respect. The tequila followed with moderate notes of agave and the same caramel and fruit that was evident in the nose. The finish had a long duration with a medium, spicy burn. Overall, this is a good value for around $40, however for my tastes and a few dollars more, I would much rather have Don Julio Anejo for it's aroma and sweet citrusy taste or the 1921 Especial (though technically a reposado). I would rate this at the B-level.
