Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Anejo

Tasted out of a snifter, this anejo doesnt live up to the hype I came to see surrounding it. Yes, its very good, but for the money, there's better anejos out there IMHO. I don't think Ill be seeking this one out there again.

Aroma: A soft caramel nose, with slighter notes of floral.
Initial taste: A semi oily mouth feel, with a sweet entry and initial taste of cooked 'Cuervo' agave.
Body: A bold 'Cuervo' agave body, with slight caramel and slight smoke.
Finish: A slightly heated finish of short duration, with a cooked agave aftertaste.

Like I said, its a very good anejo, but it just doesn't taste like anything so special that id pay $90a bottle for it.

This is a sipping tequila, smooth and tasty, but I think it's price will stop most people from trying it, but do yourself a favor and sip slowly and enjoy.

It was a pretty good tequila. I was especially impressed with the finish, it was incredibly clean and smooth. The smells that unlocked after stirring for a little while were very pronounced. I was hesitant at first simply because of the Jose name but it was pretty good over all. As far as presentation they could have done better

I recieved this tequila as a gift in March'06, finally opened it on Christmas'06. I was a little leary seeing the Cuervo name but after one sip all that disappeared. It has a peculiar nose and a very strong vanilla scent. You can taste the agave but also the oak, I know it's strange but they seem to have it balanced perfectly. The only thing I don't care for is the price, but at least I didn't buy this one ;)
