T1 AÑEJO Estellar NOM 1146 Los Altos German Gonzalez Confirmed additive-free by TMM Lote: 132t1A15 Tasting Date: July 18, 2022 My Rating: 85 Nose: agave whiskey oak vanilla orange peel chocolate Taste: agave oak whiskey chocolate pepper Finish: sweet agave and oak, medium finish Other: based on lote, I believe this is from 2015, and we've had this bottle for several yrs so flavors could be diminished.

Probably enjoyed more than Artenom 1146, I could drink more of these whereas I can only handle 1-2 of the Artenom per night. Good not awesome though.

Hate to say it but it would be more appropriate to rate this against fine cognacs, it just doesn’t have any agave left. With that out of the way....this is completely amazing for an Añejo, just needs a cigar and fireplace.

Best tequila in the range. Scotchy presence but it compliments the tequila. Very nice and savory.

This is a great "whiskey tequila" for Ben

Oak, sherry on the nose. Well balanced, excellent mouthfeel. Pleasant peppery finish.

Lote: 77t1A14 Dense butterscotch wood aromas and taste. Caramelized wood finish.

LOTE 77t1A14, acquired in 2015. Color: light brown. Aroma: cooked agave, light oak & vanilla notes, alcohol sensation is medium, light toffee, light black pepper. Orange peel. Fresh. Palate: cooked agave, light oak, alcohol is very well integrated, balanced, light toffee, orange peel. Finish is medium to long, light cooked agave, light wood and orange notes persist.

This is pretty bueno, but not muy bueno. Honestly, I’m slightly underwhelmed since I love the Blanco. It’s just not that nuanced. It’s pretty good. That’s about all I can say.

Great tequila with notes of caramel, cinnamon, Mexican hot chocolate, cooked agave, vanilla, bananas, coconuts, coffee, Cherries, anise, flowers, and oak. Interestingly found this oakier than tears of Llorona.

light

Vanilla, Carmel, it has almost a bourbon quality.

Wood notes on the nose and flavor has nice mix of agave, earth and wood. Lasting finish. Overall an enjoyable Anejo, but not the best value in my opinion.

Smooth and sweet. Easy on the eyes and palate.

Whiskey!! Loads of barrel with a little dry/bitterness on the finish but not as much as you would expect from the nose.

a very good anejo for sipping. trying to detect all the flavors and deconstruct the complexity is part of the fun as you enjoy sip after sip, German knows what he's doing alright! The wood doesn't overpower the agave, on the contrary it only compliments it; there's a hint of concentrated fruit spice and a slight petrol after finish

I like the aroma and flavor this tequila has. I would recommend it for sipping with friends.

Not a fan. Expected it to be more smooth for an anejo.

Aromas found in this exquisite Tequila are Dark Chocolate, Spice, Agave, Ripe Fruit & Coffee. Has a Richness, Complexity & full Agave Flavor yet Very easy to DRINK. Make sure to open & let it air for a Bit. Value is AMAZING! Definitely get a Bang for the Buck. This Tequila out beats many of the ones in the high end prices. Salud to the Master Distiller German Gonzalez for creating this GEM!

Awesome ????????

Perfection ??

$64 Very scotch-like taste making this quite refined. Bold finish will encourage chest hair growth.

so tired of full-on sweet tequilas, this was a completely different animal. A welcome change and so interesting
