Great tequila, but in the shadow of it's blanco brother

From TequilaGringo:  We were a little fired up about this one because we simply love their blanco.  A great blanco doesn't necessarily come out of the barrel great (and vice versa) though.  The time with the wood alters things a lot and sometimes that's for the better, sometimes it's not.  So we knew not to get too nutso about it.  Arette's anejo arrives with a yellow/gold color and has a slight chocolate/caramel to the nose, maybe a little earth.  Smooth, soft, cool mouthfeel. Taste was pretty unique, with a bit of spice, some orange peel and med-high heat. Long, flavorful finish. Oh well, once again a great blanco does not a great anejo make. Read more »

Best Thing About it is the Bottle!

From Tequila Gringo:

Light Spice and agave flavors with a medium-high heat are what you get on the taste.  The finish has a heavy alchohol to it, which means a lot of heat.  All in all, not bad, but not on the best list either.

Very unique, and very good - we loved it!

From Tequila Gringo:

When we took a whiff of this, we were taken aback a little.  You don't smell many tequilas like this.  We picked up a lot of spice in the nose.  The taste had a lot of spice as well plus some nut - very unique!  Nice long finish too.  Most importantly, it just tasted great.
