Review Detail

El Gran Viejo Anejo NOM 1109 Tasted on 4/30/07 at 11:50pm. I opened this bottle, which cost me $116, at my home and tasted it in a Riedel glass. While this bottle has a unique design, it is the tequilas quality versus price that makes this great. In my opinion, this tequila is worth far more than $116. With a golden color, this tequila has intense aromas of floral, vanilla, and caramel. Other aromas include moderate fruit and a hint of spice. The tequila has a medium mouth feel and on the first sip is very sweet with a hint of bitterness. El Gran Viejo has numerous arrays of flavors due to its 3 years of aging. Intense flavors of caramel and floral are followed by moderate notes of agave, fruit, and vanilla. With a long duration of flavor, tastes of mild spice with a hint of earth and smoke bring this tequila to a numbing finish. El Gran Viejo anejo has received the rating of 94 points out of 100.
