A very light coloured, light tasting añejo. Nose is a pleasant, softened agave. Taste is smooth and easy, with a slight oaky taste. Inoffensive, but doesn't leave a lot to think about, which is fine, because I'm pairing it with downloading FFXIV from the client at about 4 KB/s. I suppose it evens out my masochistic streak. Great introduction for those who are new or unsure about sipping tequila. As an aside, it comes in a handsome, old school, thick glass bottle with a wax seal. Unf unf unf.
Tequila 1921 Añejo
About this bottle
Tequila 1921 was previously produced under traditional methods (tahona, copper pot stills, hand blown glass bottles and wax seals) and is now more automated at a different distillery (Destilaria Morales) under NOM 1535. The agave is still grown in the Jalisco highlands, but is now distilled (twice) in stainless steel with copper coils, with automated shredding and factory bottling. The añejo is aged 12 months in American oak.

Tried at a local restaurant at the recommendation of the bar keep. Citrus-floral on the nose with maybe a touch of pineapple. The palate goes full on pineapple and then a crisp finish.
This is an excellent neat sipping tequila. Great roasty agave flavors, then brown sugar and raisins, actually, butter tarts! This should be a winter / Christmas tequila.
It taste more like a reposado. Good, but not great.
Very smooth
