G4 Extra Anejo This nose is full of cooked agave and buttery vanilla. The agave punches through nicely, you only get some slight oak but a sweet clean finish. I appreciate that Felipe utilizes older used barrels for aging. This allows the tequila tastes to still dominate without the oak taking over. Well done. ¡Salud!
Vibrant nose of pineapples, citrus, agave and nuts. Clean feel to this one. First comes caramel and nuts, followed by baking spices, anise and pepper. Kissed with a lactic note. Nice agave presence - no overpowering oak at all. Lingering finish that invites another sip and another sip...
Tasted some of JW's G4 XA . Such a delight from Felipe's private barrel. Great to have friends with connections.
The aroma is interesting for an XA...it is not understated or discreet but does not have much if any barrel in the mix. Floral notes and agave predominate with a bit of an almost honeysuckle sweetness. Everything is nice and light. The flavor has a nice initial sweetness followed by baking spice and peppery heat. The finish has a nice lingering heat and is medium long. At the price ($63), this is an incredible value. 12/30/2016 - 4th Annual Xmas XA tasting.
Aroma: Interesting notes for an extra anejo. I get pine, mint, and it's also slightly floral. These are notes more traditionally seen with Blancos (at least for me). But, there is also hints of oak and caramel. Flavor: Slightly spicy but heavy in winter type notes. Caramel, clove, oak, and definitely one I could see myself sipping on a cold winter night. Finish: Very nicely balanced and hangs around for a while. Not overly strong and tons of flavor hangs around.
Gets better every time I try it. Gracias Felipe Camarena!
Added: BAT 2016 bottling of this juice is absolutely the highest proof XA I have tasted. Truly a one of a kind bottling of tequila made by Felipe Camarena. A well rounded extension of prior expressions, this 3 year aged extra añejo is very easy to drink. Never sweet or syrupy it has a nice feel in the mouth and reminds me very much of Ocho XA, which was also developed by Felipe C. in the early days of the brand. Get some. Might see some importation soon as G4 grows it's distribution in MX.
Smoothest finish I’ve ever had.
Wow. This is an amazing crafted expression from Felipe. Well rounded and just perfect. So easy to sip
agave, warm pineapple, caramel, citrus. flavor holds true to aroma. some baking spice. incredibly subtle oak (in a good way). good mouthfeel, warming on tongue but heat disappears before it hits the throat.
Sweet agave on the front end, you can really taste the bourbon because of the long storage in the bourbon barrels. A little caramel, some wood with a touch of cinnamon. To be honest, I thought it would be more caramel buttery kind of thing but, it was intense flavors with a little more burn than I expected. Not what I expected but I really liked it.
Nice aroma of cooked agave with a caramel/ vanilla. Also get a little floral on the back end. Taste has a low to medium heat which is good. Let’s me know I’m drinking without it being to harsh. Taste is like the smell agave, vanilla, , oak in the middle with a medium finish of the vanilla ,floral and a little citrus. Very good extra anejo
Even flavor notes with a pleasant finish.
Nice cooked agave and baking spices. Good oily mouth feel. A little hotness on the finish which dies quickly and leaves you with a nice taste.
Very smooth
Wonderful smooth from start to finish.
cooked sweet agave caramel citrus spice. just the right amount of oak. long smooth finish. love this extra anajo. purchased at el buho
It was delicious, but I prefer the anejo over the XA. Finish was a little medicinal for me.
An outstanding XA from an outstanding distillery, great balance of agave, oak, and citrus with a smooth finish
Agave still very present, black pepper and hints of banana with a long finish.
one of my favorites, when i want an XA with very little oak in it i reach out for the G4 .. clean, smooth and complex ..
Smells like a clean ingredient, aged tequila should smell. Great mouth feel. A little hot, alcohol. Clean, agave, no artificial sweet. Lovely, smooth, clean, finish. The hot melts away. Much better than the sweetened, soft, over oaked, stuff that people often pay a lot more for.
very, very smooth
not a great after taste
Aroma : Cooked agave and floral notes with mint and citrus. For an extra añejo that was definitely a surprise. Not much oak or aged notes to speak of. Taste : Crisp underlying agave and light oak. Caramel and almond/hazelnut predominate with some degree of baking spice. This is lightly sweet and somewhat spicy. Oily and complex too. Finish : Long and prolongs all the taste notes with some stronger baking spice. Top tier extra añejo. I hope I'll be able to find the "55" version soon because this was a hard one to put down.
