Appearance: Dark amber Aroma: Agave, oak, caramel, fruit, and a hint of alcohol. Initial Taste: Bold agave, oak, caramel, baking spices, and sweet fruit (perhaps peach) flavors were present. The agave dominates but the other flavors compliment it very nicely. Body: Medium body with tears on the glass and a buttery mouth feel that distributes the flavors evenly. Finish: A very pleasant and smooth medium length finish peppery agave finish with caramel and a sweet nutty flavor lingering. Price: RRP of $29.99 Presentation: Hand-made bottle but still only a basic design with a paper label. The synthetic cork stopper separated from the top when I first opened the bottle. This is really on outstanding robust anejo for the price. The flavors from 12 months of aging in oak are not subtle, which is what you usually get with a value priced anejo. I haven’t tried the blanco or reposado from this line yet, but after drinking this anejo, they are now on my shopping list. ]]> Sat, 18 Apr 2015 22:12:37 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2636 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2636 Everyone can find a really good tequila for $50+. It's finding the hidden gems out there for well under $30 that spirit drinkers love to do. In the $20-25 range, there's not a better deal than JLP Tequila out there. Price: $20-30/bottle Aroma: Nice aged nose full of agave, caramel and oak. Initial Taste: Sweet vanilla and agave with a bit of spice. Body: Nice thick body full of caramel, ripe fruit and wood. Finish: Medium finish with a nice sweetness and agave pepper linger. This has everything you'd want from an anejo, but at less than half the price of a lot of them. It's definitely on the sweet side, but it does it well. If you can find it, do yourself a favor and buy this brand. It may just become your new value sipper...and something inexpensive that you can share with friends and amaze them with the price. ]]> Tue, 04 Sep 2012 01:32:15 +0000
