Don Julio 1942 Tequila Anejo

This is an excellent tequila and is unique for an anejo. It has more agave taste then most anejo tequila's and you really do not taste any oak that is common to anejos. If reposados are your favorite type of tequila this is highly recommended because the it is so much smoother then just about any reposado I have tasted but the flavor is similar. The nose has some vanilla to it and that is nice. There is basically no alcohol burn to it.

Strong character of roasted agave, wood, nutty and smoke. Very smooth. I detect a savory, woody smoke finish. Hints of fruit. Absolutely fantastic drink. Complex, warm, smooth.

I find Don Julio 1942 a totally different experience from many "top-end" anejos. Don Julio is very light, and very sweet, with only moderate agave flavor and an incredibly smooth finish. I would go so far as to recommend this as a "starter tequila" for non-tequila lovers (are there such people?) as a way to introduce them to the joy of aged tequilas.

I could talk about the vanilla, caramel, and cinnamon notes, but it's all been said. This is just a very refreshing tequila.

The bottle is attractive but doesn't really catch the eye like some others. And the price is right around what you would expect for a good anejo. It's also available in just about any bar that boasts an "extensive tequila menu" for about $20.

Very Smooth with very good smell, fruit and marked agave flavour, long final that pass and let in your mouth a smooth sense that tell you that is time for another sipp, personaly i like this one to take it straight in a shot glass, because you don't fell the alcohol in the throat, it pass smooth and simple.

The price is fair for wath you obtain but certainly is not a cheap tequila, the bottle and case are collectors items.

Highly recommended.

Muy suave con muy buen aroma, afrutado y con un sabor a agave marcado, un final largo que pasa y te deja un sabor suave en la boca, el cual te indica que es tiempo de otro sorbo. Personalmente me gusta tomar este tequila derecho en un caballito, ya que no te lastima la garganta para nada, pues el alcohol no se siente demasiado, pasa simple y suave.

El precio me parece justo por lo que obtienes aunque ciertamente no es barato, la botella es de colección al igual que la caja.

Altamente recomendado.

Tasted in a Riedel glass. This was my first "premium" anejo, and as I am such a fan of the reposado I was eager to try it.

The agave comes through nicely, and I got definite hints of caramel and wood. Perhaps a bit more wood than I find ideal in a drink, but I suppose that's a common characteristic of the anejos.

A nice long, smooth finish.
