This is kind of indistinct if I'm being honest. There's nothing wrong with it, but I don't get the smoke or other interesting darker notes I like in an anejo. Instead, this feels quite smooth and almost warm, but with not much that stands out. I do sip on this certainly, but its not sacred enough to warrant never mixing with it either.

Not bad, good for my VERY TRADITIONAL Margaritas (I use freshly squeezed orange juice in the place of Sweet and Sour Mix or sugar). It has a nice agave flavour but the nose is a bit rubbing alcoholish. Not very complex but better than the younger Hornitos.
In the aroma I get fruity, minty, vanilla, vegetal and peppery. It’s quite sweet in the taste with a very slight taste of mint and more up front fruity and vanilla and caramel. Late taste of pepper.
Anejo forward, too much anejo, so sweet that it seems artificial (diffuser made). Very smooth like you'd expect an anejo to be. This would be great in mixed drinks
I thought this was a good, inexpensive Anejo to try. It is very sweet, almost candy sweet.
Not as good as the Black Barrel, but for the price for an añejo it is a good sipper.
