San Matias Gran Reserva Extra Anejo

Outstanding, vanilla kind of smoothness, but not sweet.

My first extra anejo...butterscotch, oak, caramel, and vanilla are the upfront aromas. Cooked agave comes through upon tasting, with caramel, oak, vanilla, honey sweetness, bitter dark chocolate, and a bit of anise. The French oak will open up and change flavors the longer you let it sit in the glass.

Very good value, spicy and smooth finish.

Very strong barrel taste but not in a bad way but that is unexpected depth for a tequila. Sweetness and lightness to it that did not anticipate from an anejo. Good, very good actually but not great. However, it is something you'd give a newby or recent fan in order to expand their understanding and appreciation for tequila capabilities. Something you SHOULD have in your bar but not the best one on the shelf.

I feel the quality of this tequila is equal to tequilas that cost four times as much!

Drinks like a 100$ tequila. Awesome price for an awesome tequila.

At this price point, this is an excellent XA. Complex, easy to drink, and many different wonderful notes highlight this bottle. It's not the first tequila I grab, but definitely a quality bottle for the price.

Really wanted to like this one, i shouldnt have expected much with the twist cap on the bottle, haha, upon initial taste it is a sweet agave, but then decends to a artificial flavor. Good shooter if anything.

Tastes more like Cognac or Brandy with almond like nuttiness
