Great varietal nose. Makes me want to sniff it more than I drink it. Flavor very weak at first then a bit of agave and hint of herbs but it never really catches up to, or pays off like the nose alludes to. Low burn. Overall, great for the price and not any more than I expected but I wouldn't kick her our of bed. A good mid-lower rung in a flight for friends who aren't seasoned.
NOSE- Spice, butterscotch, light caramel,oak, raisen fruit presence. TASTE- Sweet, fruit raisen, seems somewhat natural, and some alcohol.
Not much agave in the aroma plenty oak. The taste is good, fun and cinnamony. The finish is good with a small amount of burn.
Nice dark golden color. Get caramel, vanilla, butter, oak, pepper and butterscotch aroma than follows the flavor. No burn, no alcohol, nice peppery finish. Is lacking something but overall is a nice añejo
Dominant smells of mastic or construction adhesive. Some over-ripe banana and buttery Werthers. Very nice flavor. Easily sippable. Toasted oak, vanilla, dark spices.
Oak and caramel with a touch of vanilla. Very smooth with a medium finish. Unfortunately, the agave seems to have been lost in the process.
A solid sippable añejo from Destiladora Gonzales. Caramel and barrel spice make it pleasant to sip and savor.
This is one of most underrated tequilas. Outstanding aroma, flavor and finish. This is my go to product to introduce friends to a quality Anejo tequila. A must have in your collection.
Great on the nose then it loses something. Still not bad.
Very smooth, super oaky, little bit of butter.
Aroma is fine but simple. Flavors of cooked agave, vanilla, and oak. Finishes with notes of cooked agave and vanilla. There's a bit of an alcoholic tingle on the finish. But that's acceptable at this price. This añejo is only exceptional because of it's price. For only about $35 USD you get a very pleasant añejo. If you want a budget añejo, this is a great option. If you don't care for oak flavors, buy this añejo or Familia Camarena. If you love oak flavors, try 1800.

NOM 1603 | On the nose you smell vanilla, spice, caramel, agave. Going down is really smooth with hints of butterscotch and pepper. Price point it great for the value
NOM 1603 | Nose: Agave and hints of vanilla Taste: Very agave-forward, more alcohol than expected Finish: Surprisingly smooth given the heavier alcohol taste. The agave hangs around just long enough to be appreciated. Overall: Was hoping for more barrel notes or varietal flavors given the Añejo aging, but surprisingly smooth and a great bargain for only $40. Very tequila-forward
NOM 1603 | Very sweet taste with more alcohol than expected. Lots of caramel and vanilla with agave flavor profile. Smooth finish.
NOM 1603 | Good sipper and for only $29.99; it’s a steal. Great for the inflation!
Very decent taste and finish.
Nose: butterscotch, caramel, root beer, cinnamon strudel Palate: vanilla, pepper, agave, oak. Not as hot as the blanco.
No hint of additives or bitterness. An anejo at this price and profile makes this an easy one to keep in stock. There is deeper wood and slight caramel on the palate. The repo is good too and I can’t tell which one I like better.
This is by far the best tasting tequila I've tried thus far. The finish is amazing. If you've never tried el mayor, do yourself a favor and get it now. my new favorite.
Mineral, not sweet, no fruit. Slightly bitter. Smooth finish.
NOM 1603 | Definitely sweet taste. Not so much agave. Smells more like alcohol than other añejos I've had. Probably not recommending but good for the price of $40
NOM 1603 | Have to agree a little with the aftertaste being a bit on the chemical side. Strong kick. Decent aroma but mild
Lou is pleasantly surprised with El Mayor Añejo, especially for the price. See his video review.

NOM 1603 | Strong agave smell to me. First sip was hot to me, but got better after second and 3rd.
