Vessel: CT Jarrito Nose: Cooked Agave, Peach, Oak, Butter, Carmel, Grass, Minerality Palate: Barrelspice, Peach, Floral, Pear Finish: Peach, Chamomile, Anise, Thyme This was lovely, and although I got this from a sample swap, I do appreciate the value in this bottle and will be rating it accordingly. I found this to be slighly lighter than than the pasote anejo and much lighter than the G4 Anejo. I feel like this is an Añejo that a blanco/repo lover can enjoy pretty easily as the barrel aging feels feather light. *This got a higher score in part because of the extreme value.

LOTE 0003A40. I could smell this tequila for days. Lots of fruit and oak on the nose. The taste is still agave forward in this light anjeo. The fruit notes are still present with some light cinnamon, vanilla and pepper on the finish.

Typical Felipe masterpiece. Nice barrel influence while not overpowering the agave. A nice sipper.

Nose: agave / vanilla/ chocolate/ banana/ melon/ hint of grapefruit/ tea/ nutmeg/ hazelnut/ molasses/ cream soda Taste: cooked agave sweetness bomb / vanilla/ caramel / pepper / earth / butter / banana/ pear / orange peel / anise / tea / spearmint Finish: clean rainwater finish with lingering vanilla and chocolate notes, some pepper spiciness, followed by a fresh chocolate mint sensation This anejo brings a lot of nose and flavor to the table. The chocolate notes are so nice. The flavors are all delicious, but being in the barrel may have muted some of them. It’s a very smooth enjoyable anejo.

Nose - cooked agave, oak, peach Pallet - cooked agave, brine, white pepper

Apricots sizzling in butter on the aroma! Sensational flavor and a good finish. Wow. What took me so long to find this one! If you like fruity and savory, this one is for you! I’m picking up a bottle soon.

Light and balanced, slight pepper on the front rounded out with floral and herbal notes. Nothing dominates. It’s an even drink and a wonderful sipper

Very sippable strong barrel notes with a hint of peach thrown in. Not my favorite anejo but definitely with a try.

The light straw color is lighter than many reposados which we know is Felipe’s goal to minimize barrel influence and retain an agave presence which I like in aged tequilas.

Aroma, light but definite agave, burnt brown sugar, and vanilla tones. Flavor, kind of faint at first followed by burnt brown sugar, agave, wood, and anise. Finish a touch hot for its aging but overall a good sipper and sharer (meaning it's one I won't be hoarding)

Terralta Añejo lot 1 Lote: LT0001A40 (Oct 13, 2016) Date tasted: June 17, 2022 Nose: agave, fruit, peach, a little oak, pepper Taste: sweet agave, vanilla, oak, slight pepper Finish: sweet agave slight oak and pepper, warmth. very nice finish Other: This is an old bottle with about 1/4 left in the bottle. it was still very good and well balanced. Nice legs, viscosity is not too thick not watery. Just right. Another easy sipper. smell the glass when it's empty. Caramel on the nose!

Awesome Anejo out of 1579! Chocolate, hint of natural vanilla, a little fruit (strawberry maybe?!), some banana and nut. Nice mix of cooked agave sweetness with a subtle oaky finish.

On the nose, Light oak, agave, and fruit. A little bit of berries. Canteloupe, or maybe honeydew, some type of melon for sure. Beautiful aroma, one of my favorite notes and I rarely get it. On the palate, Intense flavor. Spices, minerals, agave. Definitely get the oak, definitely get the earthiness. It’s got a nice balanced sweetness, and a bit of vanilla. I swear I’m tasting almond and maybe butter, but sweet. A tiny bit of mint in the finish for me. Many people consider this the weak spot of the Terralta line but I would have to completely disagree. This is fantastic, full of flavor. I almost feel like the reposado is more subdued in comparison. The first sip was an exposition of flavor and at $51 at my local spot, I’ll keep this in stock forever.

pine, spice, apricot on nose. flavor is obviously cooked agave, oak (not overpowering), vanilla. then the cinnamon, pepper, spice. olive and slight lactic develops in finish

What a fantastic light and clean Anejo by Felipe Camarena.

Well balanced with sweet cooked agave, alcohol and light wood

Oak, honeydew, agave, vanilla, pepper, cinnamon, a touch of smoke. Medium finish with a rich coat. Excellent!

Slight oak, dry wood and spicy aroma. Ripe plum, a bit of milk candy, and some melon. Wood taste slighty overcomes the agave taste in this one, although wood taste is really balanced and not overwhelming due to the exhausted bourbon casks used to age the tequila. In the aftertaste, rich agave taste richly appears in an underlying layer: first I get cooked agave and then raw agave comes to scene. Not the average woody, vanilla and caramel taste on this one, and that is just great!

Aroma : Cooked agave and apricot predominate here. There is also some brine and light oak. Light earth as well. Taste : Light agave here with some oak. A small degree of brine here as well. Peppery with some almond and caramel. Full bodied. Finish : Long with stronger notes of an oak and caramel barrel influence.

Nose: Full on agave. Ripe peach, apricot and berries. Undercurrent of barrel spice - very light oak! Flavor: Coats your mouth with silky vanilla, almond and jerk-like spices. A nice pepper sensation. A hint of brine and cured cheese. A slight tongue numbing, satisfying finish.

Solid

This has some really nice flavor with caramel and oak along with agave spice of white pepper and moderate alcohol. Nice

Terralta Añejo – Score: 90/100 Flight: Añejo Flight Contestants: * Terralta Añejo * Tapatío Añejo * El Tesoro Añejo * Mijenta Añejo Leading off tonight’s añejo flight was Terralta Añejo. As the first pour of the evening, it established a traditional profile that remained true to the distillery’s philosophy. Rather than relying on heavy barrel influence, it balances oak with the mineral-driven, agave-forward character that has become a hallmark of Felipe Camarena’s tequilas. Nose The nose offers classic minerality and wet stone aromas layered with cooked agave, light oak, and a touch of natural fermentation. The barrel is noticeable but restrained, allowing the agave to remain at the forefront while adding depth through gentle baking spice. Taste The palate delivers cinnamon, baking spices, and black pepper supported by subtle bourbon barrel notes. The oak contributes warmth and complexity without completely overshadowing the tequila’s core character. The balance between spice, agave, and barrel remains enjoyable throughout the sip. Finish The finish introduces drying tannins that gradually coat the palate while lingering fermentation provides additional complexity. A pleasant warming sensation develops with a gentle tingling on the tongue. The oak remains present through the finish but never becomes overwhelming. Overall Terralta Añejo is a well-crafted, traditionally produced añejo that successfully balances agave character with thoughtful barrel aging. The minerality, fermentation, pepper, and baking spices remain recognizable, while the oak adds structure rather than dominating the experience. For my palate, it strikes a much more comfortable balance than heavily barrel-driven añejos, making it an enjoyable expression that stays true to its agave roots. Score: 90/100

The extra time in the barrel help balance the earthy, vegetal, metallic profile of the repo. Both are good - especially for the price - but I prefer the anejo.

Aroma: Agave, cherry, oak, fruity, caramel, butterscotch  Flavor: Agave, oak, mineral Metallic Finish: strong bite of alcohol and metallic
