UPDATED 12/30/2018: This definitely has the distinctive Fuenteseca aroma - heavy oak with some fruity sweetness. The flavor begins with a nice fruit/caramel sweetness that is soon followed by a spiciness that is more cinnamon/nutmeg/clove than pepper. There is some real complexity here. A nice little bitterness and tannic drying at the finish. I really like this tequila. Some of the older Fuenteseca agings just have too much barrel for me. This one is a great representation of what the barrel can do. Especially when the barrel isn't overdone. 12/30/2016 - 4th Annual Xmas XA tasting. 12/24/2018 - 6th Annual Xmas XA tasting 2010 7 Year [ - Aroma is lighter with much less barrel. Sweet butterscotch and fruit are dominant in the aroma. Flavor is more complex than the 2005 with a great combination of sweetness and spice. Unfortunately, the finish is short and disappears quickly.
Aroma: Very oak heavy on the aroma with hints of caramel and vanilla. There is also a slight bit of mint and cinnamon. Flavor: Much like the aroma, it is very oak heavy. There's a bit of cinnamon and caramel in the flavor but pretty masked by the oak. Finish: Very mellow. Nothing too over the top and in fact I wish it had a bit more. Still solid though.
Oak, cooked agave, vanilla, bell pepper, grapes.
My favorite from their Xtra Anejo's
Strong heavy tequila. With this one I just realize I love French Oak Barrels. Every tequila I had so far that is finish in a french oak barrel is my favorite in the Añejo department. Natural sweetness with a mature finish. Me like!!
Sweet burn agave,whiskey, smooth finish with a more present agave
A bit alcohol forward but overall a solid performer.
Interesting, I tasted through the whole line all the way to the 21yr. I felt the 7yr old over delivered compared to the rest of the line strictly on price to value. Full bodied yet elegant. Good finish
Cooked agave, carmel, vanilla, citrus
Aromas of oak, grapes, olive brine, cooked agave. Flavors of alcohol, grapes, vanilla, under-ripe pineapple, olive brine.
65th birthday bottle opened on 03/24/18. Quite difficult to find now as this released in 2012. This is an interesting blend of ultra aged tequilas and is quite spicy with oak and agave as well as pepper and cardamom.
