A tequila arrived today, called Azuñia Tequila aged in a nice Añejo style and I simply couldn’t resist seeing what it was all about. I poured the Azuñia into my glass and did a nice inspection of the color, a very rich mature gold coloring that really looks fancy and clean. Not as dark as [...]
Añejo Tequila is always a fun spirit to explore because of its richness and dynamic complexity. Today, I’m tasting El Gran Jubileo Tequila Añejo Tequila (imported by Central Texas Spirits) to see how it stands up against my palate. I poured the añejo tequila into a glass and held it up to the light, it [...]
We’re finally getting a chance to bust through the final review of Semental Tequila, their añejo style and I can’t wait. It has been sitting on my table breathing for five minutes now and the aroma’s are floating around the room and making me thirsty.

This list is good for the cocktail drinker, the [...]
Aged five to seven years, Don Q Añejo Rum pours a nice gold color, not exactly copper but double the darkness of the Don Q Gold. I’ve not had a lot of chances to try an Añejo aged rum so I’m pretty happy to be putting this liquid to the test. I’ll be drinking one [...]
This will be my first official write-up of a Tequila classified as “Extra Añejo.” The new extra añejo labeling is placed on all Tequila’s that have aged more than three years so we’re working with a really mature product. I’m going to dig right into it because I’m too excited to hold back any longer. [...]
This week I’m working on the Añejo style tequila again because sipping tequila brings me great happiness. Don Pilar Añejo is a stylish looking liquid with a bright gold/copper color with seductive clarity. The scent on the pour was very subtle and hard to note at first, many añejo tequila’s I’ve had the opportunity to [...]
