Nom 1614, price brought down the score

Absolutely drop dead amazing!! This has such an appealing nose, it screams agave and gives off some alluring notes from the barrel influence. Perfectly balanced sweetness, alcohol and flavour, this is elite. It’s not cheap but spend the money, I promise you’ll be happy.

A03/22 — another winner. Amazing nose! Some apple, agave, pepper, and bitter oak. Short finish but overall tasty treat. 87 NOM 1614 (New Distillery) first taste—yum! This was a single barrel so I’ll have to wait for the regular release. But it’s tasty! A touch of cheesy funk on the nose but just a touch. 88

Malolactic and agave on the nose, more agave and barrel and less Parmesan on the flavor. Mild peppery on the back end but good finish.

Nom 1599 Nom 1614= 87

Gorgeous nose. Chocolate covered cherries all day. Juicy mouthfeel and a delicious, complex flavor of berries, chocolate, almond, caramel. Sweet but not overly. Oak is restrained too. Looong finish that turns a bit raisin at the tail end. Minus a couple points for price point, but a terrific anejo.

Nose: some agave, oak, orange peel, vanilla, caramel and nutmeg Flavor: barrel spices, oak, citrus, cooked agave in the background, sweetness of brown sugar and cinnamon spice Finish: medium and starts peppery and ends a little dry with some bitterness.

Well made Anejo, sweet cooked agave, along with caramel, vanilla and light heat

Lot 1

Nice rustic presentation, sisal twine around the neck, hand written lote number/bottle? Tasted and nosed from a jarrito this has a very neutral aroma with oak spice dominant and some roast agave. In the mouth this is roast agave, caramelized sugar, barrel spice of of oak, burnt sugar from char and some agave spice of roasted pepper. Subsequent sips reveal a nice bold character that maintains throughout to a nice prolonged finish.

Earthy, mineral flavors, and agave forward taste come through…though the nose is more agave/fruit and ‘rain’ water finish. Cazcanes in any expression does not disappoint. One of the few brands to cause Fortaleza fans to reconsider their stance.

Notes Oak and vanilla. Smooth.

Aromas of fresh grass, raw agave, caramel, flowers, orange peel, thyme, oak, and honey. Flavors of honey of the tip of the tongue blend expertly well with cooked agave, herbs, roasted orange peel, oak, cake batter and barrel spice. Extremely smooth finish that lingers nicely. Exceptional tequila! Batch # A72301

Caramel Vanilla Butter scotch Oak light Sweet Agave

very nice anejo, sweet agave, black pepper and charred oak...a little caramel.

Very oaky smell and taste. Finish is very smooth. $120 is a high price point for this tequila

Batch No. L009/18. Color: dark yellow. Aroma: light sweet cooked agave, light stone fruit sweetness, herbaceous, light vanilla & wood notes, aromatic wood. Palate: light cooked agave, vanilla, sweet wood notes, alcohol sensation is medium, anise. Finish is medium to long, light cooked agave and vanilla notes persist. Finishes dry. Wood notes becoming increasingly overpowering.

Amazing tequila. Fantastic sipper with incredible flavor. One of my all-time favs.

Was reading amazing reviews and decided to try. Picked for $129 at Binny’s. I can see how this tequila appeal to some purists. Very clean and pleasant smell, a little sweet, subtle citrus and earthy. Like others have mentioned it has a slight peppery bite upfront and that overpowering other flavors. To me it lacks depth I am used to from other quality pure tequilas. In similar taste profile I would rather pick Fortaleza anejo. But personally, prefer more citrus and vanilla rather than pepper. Good, not great.

What an amazing tequila! Nose is immediate agave, caramel, apple, oak...finish is the best part...starts a bit peppery but immediately mellows to a silky smooth finish. Will buy whenever I can find it.

Cazcanes Añejo Batch A01-LAM/22 Such an unexpected surprise! The nose was super funky and sweet. I'd like to think this Añejo was mixed into the 1st batch Joven because of the malolactic presence. I will say this batch is not for everyone, as for me, the nose is so unique, different from anything I've tried so far... That alone gives high praise. 91/100

Aromas of warm roasted oak and mildly sweet agave.

Very smooth, some spice, subtle sweetness

Though cazcanes is delicious the extra anejo price isn't worth it over the anejo price

Nose: cooked agave with wonderful aroma of American oak. Surprisingly this añejo is a chocolatey berry nose bomb though not too overpowering (clearly not an additive aroma). Subtle hits of caramel with great aroma of cinnamon and a tad bit of pepper. Palate: the taste of oak is stronger than the nose yet it’s pleasant and doesn’t outshine the agave. Slight initial burn with an amazing slightly oily mouthfeel. This is a great añejo from Cazcanes. I am curious to blind taste compared to more affordable options like Tapatio añejo to see how it compares, considering the high price point.
