El Tesoro de Don Felipe Tequila Anejo

El Tesoro is said to be the "finest sipping tequila". I have to agree with that. The Anejo has an excellent agave and oak flavor. The flavors are strong but it's exceptionally smooth. This is truely one of the best.

With a pale yellow golden color, this tequila has intense aromas of floral, fruit, and earth. Other aromas include moderate caramel and spice followed by mild vanilla. The tequila has a medium-to-oily mouth feel and on the first sip is sweet with mild-to-moderate bitterness. El Tesoro Anejo has intense aromas of earth, floral, and agave followed by moderate notes of fruit. With a long duration of flavor, tastes of mild vanilla, caramel, and smoke bring this tequila to a numbing finish. El Tesoro Anejo has received the rating of 92 points out of 100.

A bold, full bodied Anejo with a nice agave flavor and a strong vanilla finish.

This is a very fine Anejo, it has the balance of both excellent agave and aged oak flavors. I don't think anyone can complain that it's too much of either. What a perfect marriage. The nose starts out with heavy vanilla and cinnamon that tricks you at first but after the first sip, the agave hits you hard but not harsh. The body is pleasant and the finish hints of caramel with not too much alcohol burn. The bottle is simple, but elegant. I guarantee that this Anejo will please even the most skeptical critic. Enjoy!!!
