A wonderful tequila pepper oak honey agave tabbaco vanilla citrus and earthy notes. this was my go to tequila unfortunately now it has become overpriced but it's a wonderful Anejo. I my have to splurge and revisit this tequila again. Definitely a smooth sipping tequila and I need to try their reposado yet.
Same NOM as Artaño Reposado, which I also like. Los Rios Añejo has a little bit of a medicine flavor, and a soft bouquet on the nose. Hints of melon and butterscotch. Smooth finish, but with a gentle bite.
Mysteriously, the añejo is about half the price of the reposado at Bevmo, which leads me to believe that maybe it's not the same juice aged longer, but perhaps a different distillate altogether. Who knows, really. For $25 this is a good deal. Not sure I would feel the same way if it were $40.
Lots of potential in the aroma. Cinnamon, oak and honey. The taste has butter and citrus but fades to a bitter spiciness. The finish is watered down honey.
The first sip is a bit firm with a spicy taste on the tongue but finishes nicely without too much burn. Hints of cinnamon(?) This is mybw cond experience with this particular Añejo and i quite enjoy it.
NOM 1437 | Nose: Vanilla, Citrus, Taste: Crème Brûlée, Twinkies, Sponge Cake, Vanilla
