Don Eduardo Tequila Anejo

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.

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.

A nice bold Anejo with strong finish.
