El Mayor Tequila Anejo

This tequila cost me $34 so I consider it to be one of the best if not the best deals out there. It is something that I can sip on on for the price that is hard to beat. It is not my favorite tequila by any means but is still excellent in my opinion. It is very smooth from the aging but I did not detect much agave flavor. I also tasted oak but there was something different about it then other anejos I have tasted. It is a tequila I look forward to having again especially at the price.

Tasted out of a double ball glass. Honestly, not the best anejo I've ever tried. But not the worst either. If I saw this one at a bar, I'd have no problem ordering it and enjoying it, but I don't think I'd buy a bottle of it. It seems from their website (which is very well done and informative) that they take alot of pride in their product. I guess based on that, I was expecting a better tasting product.

Aroma: Caramel and alcohol, it's that simple.
Initial Taste: A thin mouth feel. A sweet, yet slightly bitter entry, with an initial taste of caramel.
Body: A cooked agave body, with hints of wood and earth.
Finish: A dry, slightly heated finish of medium duration with a caramel lingering.

At first taste I was very disappointed. It had a lot of alcohol burn, I tried it in a wine glass very similar to a tequila glass, then I put it in a wider shorter glass and it was much better, I guess it needed to breathe more. It has a nice amber color, slight nose of caramel but also harsh burnt smell. The mouth as I said before burns and the finish just isn't very good. I would rate the tequila C-. Don't waste you time. :(
