A true libation: The aroma presents a delightful blend of red apples, juicy pineapple, rich honey, smooth caramel, a hint of whiskey/bourbon, bright citrus, light ethyl and a whisper of floral essence. On the palate, it unfolds into a symphony of flavors: prominent honey, warm oak, creamy butterscotch, subtle whiskey undertones, velvety cacao, cherry cordials, barrel spice, plum and a medley of dried fruit. A gentle caress of nearly indiscernible pepper enhances these flavors, harmonizing beautifully and culminating in a pleasing salivation on the tongue. The distinct culmination is found in the finish, where light wood and vanilla with caramel notes persist, accompanied by a gentle fade of prune, minerality, brown sugar, and a hint of cinnamon.

Strong vanilla, pepper cinnamon caramel notes. It's a good extra anjeo but not one of my true favorites.

On the nose, the aromas blend apple pie, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and cooked agave. The flavors are a continuation of that blend from the aroma, with notes of caramel entering the mix. A crisp caramelized apple finish that leaves behind lingering notes of baking spices and apricot.

Aroma of oak, pine, menthol, yeast, and faint burnt sugar. Flavor kind of the same up front bit then gives way to definite agave, spices, and reopens your nose to florals as you take more smells in. A bit of that heavy wood/tannin thickness that remains on the back of the palate like bourbons do but nothing unpleasant. A good example of a heavier XA that still retains tge agave without being bullied by the wood.

Excited to find this in the wild! Aroma is the best part: brown sugar agave with over ripe papaya undertones- sensational! Taste is a little hot but good with agave and vanilla. Finish is ok with some caramel and a medium-short finish.

We love everything from this distillery/producer. This one is special, well structure and no one element over powers the other. For an Extra Anejo not overly sweet. Agave flavors show through and through. Very balanced

Aroma : Agave, oak, caramel, vanilla, citrus, and some light fruity notes. Taste : Light cooked agave with oak, peppercorns, chocolate, caramel, cinnamon, baking spices and nutmeg. The texture is oily and rich. Finish : Fairly long with vanilla, oak and fruity notes similar to the aroma. Very good, but loses points on value. (Found on Old Town Tequila for $249.99 USD)

The nose stills shows some agave. A lot of oak, cherryish with a nice fragrant aroma, with caramel, vanilla, fruit, chocolate and light butterscotch. Smoky with a hint of nutmeg, and cinnamon, along with pepper and spice. A deep rich nose. The taste is cooked agave, oak, fruit and butter, burnt caramel, vanilla, black pepper, cherries and honey. The finish is silky oak, fruit, and a long lengthy smoky finish. This extra anejo is amazing.

I’m not picking up a heap of agave but it pokes its nose out. Great fundamental flavours but a little too stingy for me to rate amongst the elite XA’s.

Mexican 38% version. Nose: Overripe fruit, cherries, barrel spices and rich agave notes. Round pleasing nose. Oakiness approaches it’s acceptable limits, but stays within bounds. Flavor: Spicy, peppery, with cider notes and vanilla. Nutmeg? Finish: Fruits, vanilla, honey and pepper linger. A rich mouth filling experience.

A small knock due to my value rating keeps this XA from being a 92 rated product. A new presentation is now available in the US but at a $100 increase in retail price this is not particularly a good value as there quite a few $100-150 products that will satisfy as well or better than this now $250 bottle that is for me, a now overpriced, at one time holy grail bottle. Such is life.

Smooth rich round warm agave...An after dinner sipper!

Toasted marshmallow, apple and a tiny bit of smoke. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Like drinking tequila through a lit cigar. Love it. Top of the line of what might be my favorite tequila.

For some, this is some of the best extra anejo being made today. I agree that it is a great sipper, it's not one that makes me want to drink all night long. Its heavy wood approach brings a fair amount of spice but agave is still present. It's great as an after-dinner treat.

Fantastic aroma and flavor, my only complaint is price. A MUST for any serious tequila aficionado

This XA retains its full agave flavor and carries a nice rounded mouth feel. Well done!

Simply put, My personal pallet just never expected to rate an extra anajo this high. From the nose to the finish it is consistent and incredible.

Nose: Spice , cooked agave , cherry and oak . Vanilla Taste : Creamy Chocolate , baking spices , cooked agave , vanilla , nutty with dried fruit sweet body . Lingering oak mouthfeel with a cinnamon finish Great sipper , amazing combination of flavors , definitely up there in the XA expressions .

Aroma: balanced blend of Sweet cooked agave, oak, caramel, vanilla. Honey, black pepper. Taste: cooked agave, vanilla & light oak, red apple and honey. Finish. Nice long finish of oak, caramel, vanilla, nutmeg Overall: Siete Leguas is a top distillery! Great XA to enjoy with family & friends. Been on my wishlist for a while, thanks SIP Tequila 50% off. Cost $150 (Sip Tequila Black Friday).

A wonderfully complex xa with siete leguas classic rustic agave present from nose to finish. Vanilla, nutmeg, barrel, fruit, and maple. Solid from start to finish. A worthy xa to sip for a special occasion for a few extra $$.

Very spicy flavor, agave taste, smooth finish.

Tried in Arandas Jalisco at Barmidos restaurant. Very good as you would expect from Siete Leguas. Lots of oak and it is buttery. Fun to try but loses points on the price at $35 a glass.

An absolutely delicious XA. Sweet without additives. Expensive but worth it for a special sipper.
