BEST BUY, Wine Enthusiast, DOUBLE GOLD - 2021, Sip Awards, This is a blend of whiskies made with barley and rye, aged on average two to three years. The result is a honey hue and slightly nutty aroma. The palate opens with hints of coconut and sandalwood, winding into a drying, lively finish with toasted almond, cigar wrapper and a faint waft of cigar smoke.e of smoke and in the aftertaste is appreciated the fruity, soft spicy and agave cooked notes (cinnamon, peppermint, vanilla, caramel) with a long final bouquet, characteristic of a balanced and complex tequila. When turning the glass, we can see that the tequila has a medium body.ANEJOIt presents transparency and very intense sparkles, with golden amber tones characteristic of a long stay in barrels. In the upper part of the glass there is a slightly note of banana and cherry, in a very subtle way we find a note of peanuts and walnuts, in the lower part of the glass we find floral notes of orange blossom and anis, in the middle we have the presence of rosemary, the sweet note of anise, dill and olive. On the banks we find notes of vanilla, cinnamon, licorice and pepper. The note of cloves is more intense and the notes of chocolate, cooked agave and pumpkin candy are diminished. We can perceive sweet notes of vanilla and caramel from its time spent in oak barrels, slightly spicy notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves and a gentle agave presence, offering a balance between the agave and barrel-derived flavors. We also can find nutty and chocolate undertones with a smooth finish that leaves a lingering, warm finish on the palate. Full-bodied, unctuous, with high adherence in the glass (slow descent of tears or legs).
