Mi Familia Flores Extra Anejo Tequila

After trying Mi Familia Flores' Anejo, I decided it was worth the extra coin to give their Extra Anejo a try. Yeah, this line might be viciously, almost cloyingly sweet, but there's a time and place for all things. I could see these tequilas being great after dinner sippers. The aging process of their Extra Anejo significantly softens the agave hit on the nose. You do get some still but overwhelmingly the nose smells of sweet desserts. Citrus, cinnamon, caramel and brown sugar all dance in your nose and hints at the taste to come. The taste starts super mellow and almost undetectable. Caramel, butterscotch and brown sugar all burst onto the scene. Again, some may find this cloying but like I mentioned - there is a time and place for all tastes. Vanilla mingles in a bit mid taste but then, cinnamon and black pepper bring a familiar tongue tingle. Significantly less so than their standard Anejo. The finish is sweet with a whisper of tart. Overwhelmingly, butterscotch and toffee play out on the finish with a tiny bit of the citrus that was present on the nose. The finish is long and oily, incredibly reminiscent of a good scotch. A solid sipping tequila for sure. Maybe a little TOO sweet - this one hits even sweeter than their Anejo. Perhaps their Reposado might be the perfect mix.

A mild, Agave Spirit by Nom1459 in Amatitan, Jalisco, Mexico made with Tequilana Weber & local deep well water; cooked in an autoclave, fermented in stainless steel tanks; 2x distilled in a stainless-steel pots; aged in American oak for 36 months before being bottled at 80 proof. It has an aromatic birth with notes of cooked agave, wood, earth, fruits, herbs & spices; while a slightly creamy life adds notes of banana, butterscotch & toasted bread; that led to a balanced death of medium length with a hints of oak, black pepper, caramel, chocolate & cinnamon.

Butterscotch, cinnamon, toffee and light citrus predominantly, with a fairly viscous finish 🥃 great dessert sipper

Pretty nice and smooth, a little bite, but not much

Decently smooth, not too harsh. Nice flavor.

Has a flavor of cardboard. No thanks.
