Corralejo Tequila Anejo

The aroma was spice and a touch of vanilla with a hint of floral as well.

The most prominent flavor throughout was a spice - almost a Christmas spice that I can't put my finger on. There was a pretty good amount of agave, a touch of pepper, although I was slightly off-put by the spice flavor.

The bottle is tall, and a sharp color of red, which is classy, but not incredibly unique.

I'd say this is a decent anejo, but nothing great and not worth getting again in my opinion.

Tasted on 12/26/08 out of a snifter. This anejo that sipped more like a reposado to me. Go figure. Still, it was a decent anejo, although I found nothing special to report, and a bit overpriced though.

Aroma: straight up vanilla for my nose!
Initial Taste: A semi oily mouth feel, it was sweet with a slight bitterness. Initial taste of cherry (?).
Body: A body of agave, spices, and cinnamon.
Finish: A short heated finish with a lingering of vanilla.

Tasted in a rocks glass on January 25, 2008 showing long, thin and medium lasting legs down the glass. Tasted in a bar along with food & friends unable to give my full attention for a dedicated review. Though here it goes.

Corralejo Anejo

Color: light carmel color
Aroma: oak and vanilla
Taste: light wood, fruit, vanilla, light agave with a less oily body than Corralejo Reposado, long smooth finish with a smooth burn

A good anejo for the price and even complimented by guests at the bar that have not experienced an anejo tequila before. The Corralejo Anejo would be a good rookie sipping tequila.

Corralejo Anejo NOM 1368 Tasted 4/9/07. The tequila is pale yellow in color. Beginning with intense fruity, earthy, and floral aromas, the deeper aromas include moderate caramel and a hint of spicy scents. On the tip of the tongue there is a mellow and soft sensation that is followed by a sweet, somewhat bitter taste. Upon tasting, the tequila has intense earth with moderate fruity, floral, and agave flavors. Lastly, there is a hint of caramel flavor. Corralejo Anejo tequila finishes with a medium duration of flavor and numbing alcohol intensity. Overall, I rate this tequila at the B level.

Sweet and smooth
