The production of this begins with selecting Agaves with higher Brix Levels. 32 Brix being the average. Prior to slow cooking in traditional Stone/Brick Ovens, the Agave are completely shaved of any remaining Pencas. After cooking the Agaves are macerated with Roller Mills where Deep Well Water is added. The collected Aqualmiel is fermented in Stainless Steel Tanks with Natural Yeasts. Once fermented, the Mosto is twice distilled in Copper Pot Stills. The Añejo begins it's aging process in New French Oak Barrels for 1 year and 3 months. From there, the Tequila is transferred into Used French Oak Port Barrels that were charred and scraped. The Tequila is then aged for another 1 year and 3 months. This gives a total of 2 years and 6 months and only 6 months from being an Extra Añejo. It's bottled in the Representative Green Bottle at 40% ABV. Aroma: This is an amazing dessert in a glass! Immediately a very fragrant ripe Banana mixes with Vanilla and Caramel. Butterscotch and Honey also offer some sweeter touches just before you can still tell this is still Tequila with the Cooked Agave coming through. As this evolves in the glass more French Oak notes come through with Molasses, Cocoa, and Candied Citrus. A softer Cinnamon note is present. At the top of the glass Florals and bits of Mint show themselves. And as a backbone a little Leather and Tobacco push through. Taste: Cooked Rich Agave and Oak offer their strong tasting notes right up front. Butterscotch, Vanilla, and ripe Banana are the first sweeter tastes before a touch of Black Pepper and Cinnamon jump in. A rich Honey and Candied Citrus add more delectable flavors. There is also a continuation of Molasses and Chocolate notes. Among all these Sweeter and Spicy tastes, a little Herbalness and cured Tobacco notes give more depth and complexity. Finish: With all these sweeter flavors, a complete balance of Rich Notes blend with Spicy Notes with a Herbalness all the way through for a good long run. AMM-89 Salud!!!

FYI Again this rating is for the 2010 Skinny Neck bottling not the current version

Very good anejo not super sweet which I like a lot. Very good finish light pepper on the backend. Very good.

Strong caramel aroma. Ok in the mouth. The finish is fun with lots of flavor.

2 year 6 month Anejo from Old Town Tequila

Banana aroma from reposado shows up again. No heavy barrel that sometimes shows up in an anejo. Simple sipper with a great long finish.

Nose: Oak Caramel Banana Flavor: Oak Banana Butterscotch Caramel Vanilla Perfect amount of heat on the back end. Great anejo! Great price-$55. Love this.

Wonderful aroma of cooked agave cinnamon and chocolate like. This tequila taste wonderful, the cooked agave lingers in the mouth leaving an oily mouth feel with notes of cinnamon, chocolate and sweet vanilla . There is very little burn perhaps because is 3x destilled.

Aroma - agave, oak, leather Flavor - sweet agave, oak, vanilla, honey Finish - easy finish, honey and oak lingers

I would rate the taste of this anejo approaching extra anejo. very good value as a result. as per the tag line. " striking smooth just the right bite" it burns the mouth a bit, but tge finish smooths it out.

I do like this distillery- the price point for this great tequila and their others are a great combo. Cost $44.99 + $5.70 shipping

Smooth....smooth...and tasty!

Strong banana on the nose with a great spicy finish with hints of vanilla and butterscotch. Currently my favourite high end tequila to share with my friends!
