https://tequila.net/ https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2528 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2528 I absolutely love the blanco from this line. So much that when I saw the anejo on sale that I had to try it. Can it live up to it's lesser aged brother? Aroma: Agave and oak, but a fairly light aroma for an anejo without the normal sweet influences from the wood. Initial Taste: More like a reposado than an anejo. Nice agave flavors and light wood and vanilla flavors, but not a ton of aging influnce. Body: Light body for an anejo and semi-oily. A very nice flavor with oak, spice and light caramel flavors, but not heavy at all. Finish: A very smooth and tasty finish. No burn at all and a fairly short finish. A bit of light spice as well. Again, more like a reposado than an anejo, but a good overall flavor. It's not quite as good as the blanco, but is a pretty good tequila. However, the fact that this is most often in the $45-50 range, it is probably slightly overpriced. If you can find it on sale, go ahead and get a bottle, but there's plenty more out there in the price range that has more complex and better overall flavors. ]]> Mon, 18 Jun 2012 02:54:26 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1517 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1517 Bought 4/28/10, paid $50 at a big "bev" store. First off the bottle, its unremarkable, the cork top is a shooter (read stupid) thing ala 1800... it works fine as a stopper. Color is light straw, very pale, leaves fast legs and gathers quickly on the sides. Nose is subtle agave, semi sweet, nothing reaches out and crawls up your nostrils. Medium thin in the mouth, no need to hold it. On the way down you get a little heat pop on the roof of the mouth that quickly fades and leaves a dull alcohol numbing that lingers. A good tequila, smooth, but no risks, no surprises. Not bad, but not a favorite. For the $ there are better out there. ]]> Wed, 05 May 2010 16:27:07 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1147 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1147 This anejo is hard for me to rate - It's definitely a high quality anejo, and I could see how some people might love it, but I just am not a fan of the specific wood flavor. The positives are the presentation, smoothness, and a much nicer buzz than many. Presentation is very nice; simple and elegant, with a functional but mostly novelty shot-glass top which is filled by tipping the bottle upside-down. The other reviewers here do a nice job summarizing the subtleties of this so I won't go into detail. I'd say this is a great anejo, but just for my tastes I wouldn't buy it again. If someone loves a strong wood, bourbon barrel flavor they would love it. ]]> Mon, 01 Jun 2009 23:39:00 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=881 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=881 Tequila Don Eduardo Anejo, NOM 1119, tasted 10/25/08 out of a snifter. While this will not be one of my usual tequila reviews I just wanted to report about my experiences during dinner recently at Abuelo's Restaurant. While waiting to be seated I went to the bar to look over the tequila selection. The bartender showed me the "sipping menu". It included several from the Herradura line only. I was surprised to see Seleccion Suprema as the top offering at $29.00 for a neat shot. I also noticed on a bar shelf the Don Eduardo Anejo which was not on the list. I ordered the Platinum Margarita made by special request with the Don Eduardo. Since it made such a good margarita I decided to order a snifter/shot neat which was $10.00. The tequila was presented with sangrita, which I had never had before. It was a very interesting taste combination that I thought brought out more of the anejos flavor. I was surprised by the Don Eduardo as a solid and balanced anejo, not too sweet, with a mature cooked agave presence and a nice heat throughout. Mellow notes of wood, vanilla, and spice made this and enjoyable tequila that went great with my meal. I would not hesitate to buy this anejo and give it a high B. ]]> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 21:09:45 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=775 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=775 tasted on 09/01/08 out of a snifter. This anejo was just ok for me. The best part about it was the aroma. I preferred the blanco of this line alot more. Still, all in all, an above average anejo. yet in the same breath, its not the smoothest anejo I've had. Aroma: Floral and carmel Initial Taste: a little bitter on entry. Body: Nice woody agave and caramel. A short heated finish with slight alcohol burn. ]]> Mon, 01 Sep 2008 18:05:00 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=222 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=222 Don Eduardo Anejo NOM 1110 Tasted on 5/21/07 at 5:20pm. I tried this tequila in a blind tasting at Zocalo out of a snifter. The tequila is a pale yellow golden color and is aged for 2 years. Don Eduardo Anejo aromas consist of intense caramel and fruit aspects followed by mild vanilla and floral. On the lighter side, this anejo has a hint of spice. On the tip of tongue, this tequila is mellow and has a thin and oily mouth feel. While the tequila has moderate agave flavor, it has a low level of sweetness and a hint of bitterness. The flavor of this tequila was mild flavors of earth, fruit, spice, and floral followed by hints of caramel and vanilla. Upon finishing this tequila, there is a long duration of flavor and numbing alcohol intensity. I have rated this tequila at 88 out of 100 points. ]]> Fri, 01 Jun 2007 04:54:25 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=113 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=113 Don Eduardo is one of my favorites, with a very bold taste, and an awesome nose, this anejo is a must in a casual drinkers cabinet, this is the epitome of a all around drinking tequila,awesome for the avid sipper, and also good to use in food recipes the clarity was clearwith medium depth,and a nice golden brown color,Don Eduardo did a really good job in bringing out the aromas in the anejo,well rested,not too complex,yet the subtle taste of smoke,and butter were very pleasing,this anejo is a definite plus in every aficionados collection, with it's fullness and well balanced alcohol and finish,with a very memorable aftertaste,the Orendain family did well with this one. ]]> Tue, 10 Apr 2007 16:31:18 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=94 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=94 A nice bold Anejo with strong finish. ]]> Sun, 01 Apr 2007 01:24:20 +0000
