I saw the reviews and wanted to try it. For me, it does not have the smoky notes and complexities required to be a sipping tequila. It says aged 9 years, but I have no idea what it was aged in. I could not taste any aging. There are other tequilas I like better in this price range.

Don Valente Perfeccion 9 year is the best tequila I've ever had. Flavorful, woody, with strong vanilla notes, not too sweet and incredibly smooth and drinkable. In addition to the bottle I purchased for myself, I got one for some coworkers and the consensus was unanimous; Even the non-tequila drinkers remarked that it was among the best liquors they've ever had. Don Valente Perfeccion will be my new standard tequila whenever I can get it.

Has all the elements that you want in an extra anejo. Not too suite but still has alot of taste

great sipping tequila, very plesent on the pallet, good value

My favorites are smooth Extra Anejos where the alcohol is not prominent. This often happens with aging but not with Don Valente. Very good flavor beneath the alcohol but more of a challenge to sip than Adictivo.

I will recommend it to my tequila friends

Excellent!

I have had many many of the best, this is a standout. If you love fine tequila this is the one

This extra anejo tastes like a mouthful of oak and agave. It does not have the back-sweetened sweetness of some pricey dark extra anejos, but it does retain the agave essence despite having been thoroughly darkened by nine years in oak. If you get it, pour a glass and let it breathe for a few hours before you sip it; it opens up quite nicely.
