Agave is all lost on this one. Vanilla and barrel notes. Easy to drink

The nose and taste were very faint. Caramel and vanilla were present as well as light cooked agave. Finish was clean with very faint agave and nice pepper that lingered. The cost point on this offering is out of range for the product. Like 1942, your paying for the hype.

Nice flavors, little agave, overpriced for what it is.

very light on the nose and flavor for an Xtra aged! $36 shot was the only reason I tried it, still not worth it! overvalued!

A little bland and watered down but somewhat sold, with a lot of caramel. vanilla, sweet, oak, fruit and citrus...but considering the price.... forget it.

Pretty decent overall. Smooth with butterscotch, caramel and vanilla. Maybe a little hint of agave. You expect plenty of barrel from an XA but the tequila is lost for me in this expression.

A nicely made XA, felt the price was in the packaging/bottle than the value of what we were drinking

I’m surprised that I like this, I’m not generally and extra anejo guy but this has some great balance going on. Gagging for a cigar now.

Nose: Ripe berries, black cherry, minerals, thyme and a dash of pine needles. Flavor: Silky almonds and caramel with brown spices, oak and pepper. Barreling barely allows the baked agave to peak through .

This is too sweet and overly oaked for me.

Spice and slight jalapeno on the nose. Incredibly smooth, with some minerality associated with the palette.

Tasted with friends at Rumbo 52 in Colorado. Quite tasty.

Everything about this tequila is noteworthy. This was the first expensive tequila I bought when I started drinking tequila. Wonderfully floral aroma with hints of honey. A complex and smooth flavor dominated by a muted agave, butterscotch with a wisp of tangerine. Finish is smooth with no burn. Oh, and I love the bottle.

Subtle complex aromas Lightly sweet taste Very smooth, no "burn" Finish was absent, nothing left in the palette to crave for more.

I'd be better off giving you $300 and then you kicking me in tbe nuts once or twice

A good and rare tequila but not worth the price. Plenty of cooked agave, vanilla and earthy flavors. However, there are better options at a lower price point.

Aroma is a sting of alcohol and oak. It smells rich and thick. After sitting I smell hints of vanilla. Flavor is woodsy and a little caramel. Finish is slightly bitter and then sweet agave taste. There is no burn. I think the bottle is overpriced. I got a neat pour in a snifter tasting glass for $150 on cino de mayo. VMC!

I was able to try this at half price at a local bar's generous happy hour pricing. Extremely smooth with prominent oak and vanilla, almost reminding me of bourbon. There is agave present, but it's muted. It's very good and worth trying, but very expensive.

L60793106W, marbete is from aprox. 2005. Color: yellow to dark yellow. Aroma: light sweet cooked agave, light citrus, hint of maracuyá, light white pepper, earthy. Slight acidity. Good sweet sour and acidic balance. Light orange, light vanilla note. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, at the end vanilla notes are quite intense and creamy, quite impregnating. Finish is medium to long, light sweet cooked agave, earthy and vanilla notes persist.
