Aroma of white chocolate, melon, peach, and fruit. Flavor is white chocolate, nuts, vanilla, fruit, and melon, all working elegantly together. This isn’t a heavily-aged añejo, but it’s aged just right so that agave is still present. Extremely balanced and easy to drink.

Nose:Cooked agave with an earthy vibe, plus caramel, vanilla, and butterscotch. Palate: Cooked agave and vanilla flavors that are super tasty! Not the most complex, but pretty good. Good balance of bourbon but not too much age influence for me to where it feels like a bourbon like an Arte 1146 or Tears. Finish: Decent, but it’s pretty short. Not the best bang for your buck, but still a quality pour. I like Mijenta, but for around 160 that I have seen it, I wouldn’t pay that. Value brought down my score quite a bit.

Taste: cherry, vanilla, floral, oak Finish: oak, black pepper, faint cherry

Aroma: 21/25 Tasted in a rocks glass so please take this with a grain of salt. Cooked agave with an earthy undertone. Some orange peel and herbal characteristics. Good but ethanol does emerge, which I attribute to glass. Palate: 28/30 Holy cooked agave vanilla decadence! This is really dang good. While it’s not the most complex, it is fantastic. Finish: 20/25 Good but very short finish Value: 6/10 Not great, but a quality pour

Agave Swappers Blind. Round 3: Anejo Vessel: Glencairn Nose: Cherry, Almond, Vanilla, Oak Palate: Carmel, Pepper, Dried Fruit (Date/Raisin), Butterscotch Finish: Caramel, Honey, Oak, Toffee, Banana

Plenty of heat and pepper. I kinda like a bold Añejo!

Nose is cooked agave, vanilla, oak and caramel. Taste is cooked agave, oak, pepper and chocolate. Glass was a Glencairn.

A great complex anejo with a depth of aromas and flavors. A very easy sipping anejo with no burn at all. Nose: cooked agave, vanilla, oak, caramel, butter, and cherry. Palate: cooked agave, vanilla, oak, black pepper, caramel, cinnamon, chocolate, butter, and cherry. While there is an abundance of complexity here, the finish is very short and leaves me wanting more. Still a great anejo that is easy to sip but loses some points mainly for value. Also my bottle lists NOM 1499.

I must admit I have not been the biggest Mijenta fan. This is a great tequila. The nose is unique with this champagne yeast. So sweet on the nose with agave and floral notes. I am getting vanilla and caramel at a luscious level. The taste is just as exciting. There is a bit of alcohol presence but the sweetness shines through. Plenty of caramel and vanilla.

Nose: fine champagne or wine / fruity / vanilla: plum-grape/ green apple / pear / mint / cream soda Taste: agave sweet and apple - huge sweetness with fruitiness overflowing/ apple / grape / plum / vanilla/ black pepper/ mint/ maple and chocolate Finish: So many different flavors creating an orchestra of flavor that has sweet champagne and chocolate as the melody. Beautiful mouthfeel that lingers with that chocolate and mint harmony. Encore!!!! Summary: Wow. The sweetness and champagne chocolate notes won’t work for everyone’s palate, but if there was ever a dessert tequila, this is it.

A lot of sweet that falls in a hit of alcohol and then flat nothing.

Very complex with barrel and strong fruit notes. Very good.

Really pleasant heavy oak derived sweetness, picking up on the cherry wood used in the aging process. Very clean.

Tried a sample. Nice barrel nose with pepper on finish. Easy palate but not a lot going on. Price needs to be less for this one.

Notes on the nose were overwhelming dominated by ethanol. The profile was ok with hints of oak, pepper, but very little cooked agave present. The issue was the finish was defined by an ethanol burn. Even after airing it out a while not much changed. It was not terrible however at $170 I can’t justify recommending this. The majority of the influencers promoting this spend more time talking about it being women owned etc etc than the actual juice. But I’m the end I always suggest people make up their own minds. I may revisit and give it another try in a few weeks.

Oak forward with soft caramel and vanilla and faint agave. Easy sipper. Lost points on value at $150 in chicago area.

MJ/ANE/HV/001/23 Initial nasal impact is warming. Aroma: Cooked agave, caramel, cherry, prune, oak Buttery mouthfeel with sufficient alcohol. Flavor: Cherry and prune, cooked agave, caramel, baking spice, wood notes. Finish: Medium (wish it was longer because I really like this). A couple points off for finish and price

march 25, 2023 tried at pnw agave club event at mission cantina in seattle. nom 1412. only a few of us got to try about 1/2 oz each. I liked it but it was difficult to do it justice with such a small pour, and I didn't write down my notes. would have rated higher but points off for price

Loved the taste of this at a local event. I was one of half a dozen that were treated to about half ounce each. Enough to get the taste and not enough to really savor. Price of around $200 US holds this back but the melange of barrels has a well done and not overbearing influence on the aging of this spirit. This was the only NOM 1412 product available, the Reposado and Blanco were from 1499.

Overall solid. Aroma is nice. Too much oak, lacking agave flavor. Finish is good. Points deducted for the price point.

Liked everything about this Anejo except the price. Give it a point more for being limited

Great expression… deducted points because of high price

Lost some points for price. But wow, mijenta does it again. Nose- agave, vanilla, pitted fruit, little floral, pepper Taste- agave up front lots of vanilla, butter scotch, little oak, floralness, small hint of smokiness pepper. Very nice anjeo

Lots of sweet aromas of cooked agave, dark cherry, vanilla, caramel w/ slight floral, citrus, fruity & hint of oak. Flavor to me was heavy on the cherry, vanilla, caramel & oak w/ slight cooked agave. Seems like a desert tequila to me. First time I’ve identified cherry aromas and flavor in a tequila.

Aromas of agave, oak, and pepper...very clean with a hint of vanilla. Definitely get cinnamon on the middle with taste, but agave and light pepper on the start with stronger peppery finish. Almost no burn to this Anejo...very smooth.
