Tons of barrel notes and wood. Definitely a bourbon / whiskey drinkers friend. Not bad but quite a bit of agave was lost. Easy to drink though with minimal heat

Big fan of their repo and like their xa. Felt for some reason the Anejo fell short of my expectations. A little harsh, over powered by the wood.

At 68 bucks a bottle this is very disappointing tequila. Can't get any positive distinguishing smell out of this and the taste is not much better. There is so much out there below this price point that is tremendously better. The taste I can only describe as a weird off-putting chemical taste. I can pick up no agave flavor only what others describe as oak (which I don't think so being a bourbon lover as well as tequila) it is some kind of chemical taste.

Too much oak feels like there could be something in this tequila to manipulate the flavor.

The wood flavors come across strong. Strong agave flavor. Small bites of caramel and vanilla. Overall a very good anejo.

Mild nose, but aromatic. Butterscotch, sweet agave, cinnamon, vanilla Mouth- Very smooth. Vanilla, caramel, agave, Flavor lingers lightly in the back of the throat. Very smooth going down with mild burn to remind you that this is tequila! Love this tequila.

What a surprise! I discovered this tequila at a little dive bar in the city. It was delightful! Incredibly smooth with a butterscotch profile (much less so than the thick sweetness of Casa Noble but far more than the thin, woody El Tesoro de Don Felipe) with the softest hint of oak. And did I say smooth? It’s one of my favorite tequilas! I’m surprised at the cost though, this bottle is very much like the other bottles in the $50 dollar range but it’s $60, I don’t think it justifies the price. Definitely an experience worth having

Sweet but not overly sweet. For the price I expected a more complex range of flavors and aroma but didn't find that. A solid tequila middle of the road tequila.

This is a 35% version I bought at Costco in Mexico. Nice amber color with oily legs in glass. Aroma of oak, caramel and slight alcohol. Could be because I just opened the bottle. Flavor of cooked agave, oak and vanilla with a hint of sweetness. Pleasant, medium finish.

Good nose.. first taste hints at anise and oak.. much sweeter than I expected almost rum like.. smooth uncomplicated finish with a lingering agave.. good but not above my favorites.
