Review Detail

bought 3/2/10 for $70 , had 2 oz from a tall shot glass. Very well presented , glass is first rate, and boxed nicely. Would be a nice gift. Fist off you will be struck by the beautiful color, your eyes will stare and your mouth will begin to beg... first things first. This anejo is medium oily and sticks to the glass, again, another good sign. A very subtle nose that will not betray what lies ahead, only the sweet agave and a slight floral smell comes through. IMO this is a good sign, when agave setts too long in a barrel (more than 12 months) it easily can lose its character to the barrel. When the nose is as subtle as this you almost always are promised a nice experience. Once on your tongue, it settles "heavy" you taste the caramel and vanilla instantly, but no tingling from alcohol until you swallow. A medium body with a semi bold finish, but short legs. As you would expect, very very smooth. Price is the only issue here.
