I sipped this out of a shot glass after eating pizza (not ideal, I know). Cost me about $45 in MI.
Nice scent, not extraordinary, but nice - some floral, pepper, and very slight vanilla presence.
I loved the initial taste - very sweet, almost buttery, which was evident to me in the body as well. The body was more oily than I expected, not too much, but definitely there. The finish was a little warm and oily, and flavors were slightly peppery, oak, with a little more subtle agave presence than I would hope for, but delicious still.
This is a great value anejo, and I'd recommend it, but not my favorite. In the price range I think Don Julio's anejo has it beat hands down.
