an upgrade from some of the harshness of Patron. there are definitely notes of vanilla and caramel that you taste from the aging. there is no bite and is particularly smooth and lingers on the pallet. it is not a significant downgrade from the 1942 IMO.

burns

I used to like it and drink it a lot. Not anymore.

smell: sweet, vanilla taste: sweet, brown sugar, agave, really smooth...maybe too smooth finish: smooth, a little syrupy, slight burn at the very end

Tequila choices in the Philippines is few and far between. I am just happy to find this añejo always available. Great go to bottle.

I love the oak flavor in this tequila!

Pleasant vanilla aroma Crisp start with a slight rasp finish Little depth to taste. As the taste begins to expand it drops off and ends with the rasp finish.

Aroma : Oak, some vanilla and caramel, trace amounts of agave and pepper. Taste : Lots of oak with a bit of underlying agave, cinnamon, and a little bit of the fruity, citrus notes I get with other expressions from Don Julio. Also some amount of honey on the palette, as well as caramel/vanilla and hazelnut. Finish : Fairly short with some predominating oak and black pepper, and some agave. This is a good Añejo, but it doesn't have enough character to speak of. The oak did too much to mask the agave and there were no new flavors that replaced it, so something seemed missing.

better than the Blanco and Patron Anejo, but not as good as Patron Silver

Very smooth. not unique but standard taste and flavour. this is sweet so you can drink whisky like.

It was a nice digestif. I didn’t pick up many notes of the aging process. Some subtle aroma of oak on the nose, but nothing on the palate. Its an easy drinker.

Butter, vanilla, and agave are front and center. Smooth at first right through the finish. Surprisingly light for an Anejo. A bit overpriced but still wonderful!

Easy drinking, smooth, sweet with a touch of oak. Not much of a finish.

Smells like vanilla and tobacco but the taste was a little flat

Sweet, oaky, caramel and vanilla. Seems to be served just about everywhere. Served neat it’ll do the job.

My first non-blanco tequila I’ve rated. To be fair I know I like blanco’s more. Never liked whiskey to I think the oak aging is what turns me off aged tequila. I can smell the oak or whiskey like right off the bat. Ok, just tasted it. Very surprised I liked it as much. Had a hint of that oak/whiskey flavor but quickly turned back to agave and was very smooth. I like smooth. The finish was very pleasant with no burn or crazy picker face. Uh oh, I don’t want to like Anejo’s because of the $$. But it is what it is!

Beautiful nose. Oak, vanilla, caramel and and a faint aroma of agave. The taste is warm with vanilla, caramel, spice, and cinnamon. The finish os warm and smooth. It lingers a little on the tongue. Nice Añejo.

Nose - vanilla, stone fruit and caramel Easy to sip, mild pepper flavor and then fresh agave finish.

Vanilla caramel / aged in a bourbon barrel / $14

A classic, you can’t go wrong with Don Julio. The nose picks up oak, agave and toasted vanilla that are present in the body and finish.

A little light for an anejo as far as esthetics go. But the flavor of this anejo is out of this world. It’s very distinct compared to other brands and stands out. This is a very easy tequila to sip while having a cigar and relaxing. The flavors are smooth and crisp. Worth the buy.

Aromas of butterscotch, vanilla, cooked agave, olive brine, lemongrass. Flavors of caramel, vanilla, olive brine.

So far the best tequila that I’ve tried!

Is it the best tequila? No, it's very good just not great. I can point you to about 10 other tequilas that are probably better for less $.

Don Julio has officially skipped Don Draper and Pteranodon to become by favorite Don in the whole world, and it’s all thanks to the diabolical beauty of Don Julio Anejo. I get a lot of coffee on this one, which is interesting. Carob on the finish, and plenty of caramel and toffee.
