1599 nose for sure. Cooked agave, slight funkiness. Earthy. Minerality. Nice on the palate. Again, very Atanasio like profile. Low ABV is obvious and other than that this is an easy drinker
Tried this at a high-proof tasting. Aroma of cooked agave, vegetal, minerals, citrus and mint. Flavor of cooked agave, a blast of black pepper, citrus and vegetal. Medium-long finish and no extra kick from the 46% abv.
Tasted at Sip Tequila Fest Tasted both the regular release, and a single barrel Reposado. I preferred the single barrel a hair more, but not enough to justify the substantial price hike. Both repo’s had a significant amount of barrel influence, yet the agave base was still this repo’s predominant note.
Tasted at Sip Tequila Fest A very oak driven anejo with a substantial amount of caramel, butterscotch, vanilla, and fruit. Curiously, I picked up a tremendous amount of cherry in this anejo comparable to something one may expect in a Buffalo Trace bourbon. Not too sweet, unlike Viva Mexico’s anejo which I tasted along with this, but still a complex profile with much to unpack.
Tasted at Sip Tequila Fest This high proof out of Atanasio brought the funk. I was all about it! Cooked agave, malolactic notes, cheese, dirt, herbal notes, and citrus. I tasted this alongside the base blanco, and although they shared similar notes, the Fuerte was far more intense & well defined.
Tasted at Sip Tequila Fest Although it paled in comparison to Atanasio’s Orígenes high proof release, I still enjoyed their base blanco. Subtle vegetal notes, along with cooked agave black pepper and Atanasio’s trademark funk. That being said, the asking price is a bit high.

A nice sipping anejo that is agave forward with tons of barrel notes that follow. Nose: cooked agave, oak, caramel, vanilla, butterscotch, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple. Palate: a lot of the nose follows through to the palate with cooked agave, oak, vanilla, caramel, butterscotch, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and some whiskey. This anejo has good sweetness that is not overly sweet with a great mouth feel on the finish. Very enjoyable.
