This añejo style tequila was originally released in 2010 by Tres Agaves, a craft tequila producer founded in 2008. It is made with organic blue weber agave grown in the Tequila Valley region of Jalisco. After being distilled twice in a pot still, the tequila is then aged for 18 months in American oak barrels previously used to mature bourbon and Tennessee whiskey. It is bottled at 40% ABV. Additive free.

Strong smell and first taste of butter (think buttery popcorn). Second and third sips revel the fruit tastes, light but they are there. Nice sweet butterscotch after taste that lingers on the lips, again very light. If you like the taste of butter this is for you. Pretty smooth, slight burn at the end and lingers a bit but not bad. I like it but not one I am likely to buy again. Ok not great.
I bought this because I read they use Woodford Reserve barrels. I agree with Siebert about the “buttery popcorn” on the nose. The flavour is typical agave with an added sweetness of pineapple. I read from the company they set out to make the perfect mixing tequila. I think they did. It’s also a good introductory tequila for those new to the spirit.
69 Earthy funk, smoke barrel spice Peppery, rustic bottled up musk tang I feel this tequila needs time to breathe. I didn’t like how the agave was incorporated into this tequila. It’s almost as if the agave was second in line which I was not happy with. It seemed smooth but did not make me want to come back for more.
Overall, I was a but underwhelmed. I wanted it to be oakier and agave-er than it was. Honestly, though, it works well for mixing, and that is mostly what I use it for.
Good, little light on the mouth feel. Tequila needs more investigation.
NOM 1614. The best bang for the buck anejo I've found.
