Not much to say, other than I love everything about it. The nose, the taste, the sweetness, the smoke,leather,fruit,citrus,cherry, caramel,roasted nuts,vanilla, cognac and wood... just absolutely phenomenal!!. One of my favorites ever

Amazing agave nose!

One of my top tequilas I've ever tasted and smelled. Probably my favorite as far as aroma. Love this stuff!!!!

Aroma: Has a strong note of caramel and hints of almond and oak. Flavor: Very strong oak flavor with a lot of heat upfront. Finishes with a nice caramel note. Finish: It hangs around for a while in your mouth and slowly works it's way into your throat.

Aroma is intensely sweet and fruity. Aroma carries over directly into a sweet, fruity flavor with very subtle spice/heat. The flavor coats the tongue and lingers with a nice heat that diminishes the sweetness of the flavor. A definite end of the evening sipper. While XA is not my preference in tequila, this one is absolutely one of the best. 2017 UPDATE Nice complexity in the aroma that is not just sweetness - agave, citrus and menthol(?). Very nice. Flavor is again a fantastic blend - opens sweet and quickly moves to some fiery spice. All the complexity of the barrel is there too. Long, lingering finish. Definitely one of my favorite XAs. 12-24-2017 (Annual XA tasting) 70-75-80 side-by-side

A well crafted and well aged tequila. Not really a great value at $100+ but if you have the means this is a worthwhile bottle.

Not smooth enough for the price. Fruity strong back

One of the best extra anejo tequilas ever to come out of the El Tesoro distillery.

Intense aroma of grapefruit and wood. Great for some, but not for me. However, this is a very well-done unique tequila, and I know plenty of people who think it's among the best they've ever tasted.

One of my top three tequilas. Too bad is no longer in production.

El Tesoro's 70th Aniversario is a great tequila that is very well balanced, with a ton of agave for a product that has been aged for 7 years. Notes of green olive, orange, and leather sit on top of a thick, earthy, agave core. The finish is long and complex, yet not overwhelming. But it is still slightly noticeable an hour after my last sip. There were not many of these bottles when it was released in 2007. From what I remember, there were 2007 cases released, which would be 12,042 bottles. Unlike many other "anniversary" releases, this really was a one time offering. So, I would highly recommend having a bottle or two in your collection - as well as any other tequilas made by NOM 1139!

Tasted watered down? Neighbor said it was 10 years in the bottle and special. Wasn’t terrible, just didn’t taste like anything. Wondering if someone did add water to it without him knowing. Barely any aroma.

it really doesn't get much better than this. I really get a lot of cherry aroma on this. great mouthful. excellent finish. top 5 xa in my book

Thank you Lou Agave (Long Island Lou Tequila) for the opportunity to taste the 70th anniversary addition from 2007 and for sharing this amazing XA, great aromas and finish. Only 12,000 plus bottle made.

Wow, this was worth the wait. A little over 12k bottles made back in 2007 for the 70th anniversary, I’m finally getting my hands on a bottle 12 years later. This XA has some wonderful flavor with agave, orange, oak, and pepper. Really nice.

Right up there with the very best of the XAs, just wish they where easier to get

aged too much,no real agave flavor. weak nose, flavor is the best part and even then it is not very good. finish is burnt oak.

Very sweet aroma Flavor begins with a smooth buttery taste immediately followed by spicy and smokey with a slight bitterness. Lingering aftertaste focuses on spicy but smoothes out quickly.

excellent extra anejo from LA Alteña

Tasted in Riedel glass on New Years Eve 2015. Fairly thick tears. Aroma is nice, inviting, cognac like with hints or dried fruit and burnt oranges. Nice medium golden color. Somewhat bourbon like in the first few sips with nuances of the aroma. Excellent taste, but expecting to be more complex. Not stellar, but a stand up limited production from El Tesoro. B++

Strong agave aroma flavor and finish

There was a little funk to the finish. I can't place it. Otherwise it was smooth.

Very good to the nose and great finish

Tasted at Agave

Incredible XA! One of the finest tequilas ever produced! There are not many remaining so if you ever see a bottle...BUY IT!
