It goes without saying that I am very much looking forward to diving in and tasting what they do with it in the barrel. This tequila is produced in the Quiote distillery (NOM 1433) that produces a good number of value-type brands including Puerto Vallarta and of course, Quiote. Price: $45-50/bottle Aroma: Nice vegetal agave balanced with light vanilla and spice. Initial Taste: Cooked agave, vanilla and a hint of vegetal notes. Body: Medium bodied, semi-oily. Agave and vanilla in a nice balance balance. Finish: A fairly short finish with a bit of oak, agave and vanilla. I felt like the finish was lacking a little "oomph" and spice notes that are found in most aged tequilas. Cava Don Anastacio was a solid tequila, but didn't live up to my expectations from the blanco. The price point is getting up there in the $50 range and that's a tough spot to be if you don't have a specific flavor that separates you from the very crowded marketplace. The bottle looks great and it's a very smooth tequila, but it just left me wanting a little more out of it. ]]> Wed, 17 Apr 2013 19:04:46 +0000
