The nose on this has caramel, spice, and slight earth - simple, but nice. A taste of dry oakiness, earth, and raw vegetal flavor. There is some sweetness if you let it sit on your tongue long enough, but still oaky for the most part. A medium weight and mouth feel, with a decent coating and slight numbing. A quick, unremarkable finish of lingering oak, earth, and vegetables.
This is a good bargain brand anejo. I don't normally think of mixing with anejos, but this might be good for an Old Fashion, Sazerac, or Manhattan as a 'well' brand. I think I paid low 20s for my bottle, which is actually a good price for what you get. The bottle is simple and easy to pour bottle, with a wooden screw top. It has a sort of a cartoonish clear sticker, though.
