Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Reposado

“The aroma is odd yet reminds me of wet cardboard sitting on the front porch of your cabin, earthy paper. Taste of agave does not shine through and relies heavily on the barrel it was rested in. Alcohol burn is minimal and the very minute vanilla notes slide off the back of the tongue. The taste of moms homemade caramel provides a sweetness to the tip of the tongue but quickly disappears. The bottle is found for 85$ but should only be worth 55$. Worth it if you want the entire flight of the family reserve. ”

Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Extra Añejo

84 SCORE

“Complex oak and vanilla notes flow smoothly a crossed the tongue starting from the tip and sliding off the sides. The smooth caramel colored liquid has a gentle sophisticated alcohol burn that rest on the back of the tongue, not enough to ruin the experience, just enough to remind you it’s there. The char of the revitalized barrel fills the palette without being overbearing. This expression would be perfect for an aged bourbon drinkers adventure south of the border. Price is a factor compared to many other extra anjeos, this is priced high at over 200$ a bottle in stores. Best served in a small glass with a low melting ice cube. 2018 bottle. ”

“Crisp and refreshing, smooth and delightful, the beauty of this Anejo shines though like a magnificent star. The aroma of the cooked agave pierces the nose and readies your tastebuds for a treat. The taste is pure heaven and has very little to none alcohol bite. The time, effort and tradition put into this bottle is priceless. Not a mixer at all, best enjoyed at room temperature with an open mouth glass, sip and savor. Well done. ”

“The aroma is sweet cooked agave, taste is good but strong pepper through out and finish. Strong alcohol burn travels to the back of the throat and both the pepper and alcohol over power any agave flavor. ”

“An amazingly beautiful hand painted bottle holds a liquid just as amazing. Clean, crisp and cooked agave on the nose. Taste is smooth with vanilla and cinnamon. Blended and aged well with subtle hints of earth and not artificially sweet. Finish completes the experience perfectly with little to no alcohol burn. The cost is a prohibitive factor in purchasing this tequila. The liquid in a bare naked bottle would be work 75-80$. The bottle is an impressive feat and this should be shared with family neat with an ice cube. Display this bottle proudly as the center of your collection. ”

Casa Dragones Barrel Blend Añejo

83 SCORE

“The aroma of vanilla and cooked agave flow seductively from the caramel colored nectar of the gods. Slowly the sweet caramel and vanilla taste slides down from the tip of the tongue and falls off in the rear. The tequila coats the tongue thoroughly before the subtle alcohol burn dissipates in the throat. This sweet mature anejo delights the senses and clears the mind. Price is unnerving at 155$ for 750ml. Place this bottle high on the shelf and save for special occasions. ”
