TequilaGringo 93pts Reserva de La familia is said to be aged a minimum of three years and represents Cuervo’s ultra-premium contender. This tequila has a long, proud tradition and as the name implies it was originally created to be shared with only family and close friends. Each attractive bottle is hand numbered, dated and packaged…

El Tesoro Anejo
TequilaGringo: 89pts El Tesoro de Don Felipe is the last of its kind. This work of art is the only tequila still produced entirely in the old traditional method: by hand. Don Felipe personally walks his fields and selects agave plants for their maturity and quality. Remarkably full and balanced flavor, described by many connoisseurs…
El Mayor Anejo
From Tequila Gringo: 89 pts Another great one from the good folks at El Mayor. We served this to some friends of ours and they all were shocked that tequila could be so good. In fact, two emailed me the next day to get the name again because they wanted to buy some. We picked…
Don Julio 1942
TequilaGringo Review: 93 pts Light yellow color and a vanilla smell. We like vanilla. Cause it smells good. Tastes pretty good too, and in the 1942 the vanilla carries into the taste. 2.5 yrs in the barrel will do that for you. This tequila is expensive, but it’s frankly quite remarkable and in our opinion,…
Tequila Ocho Anejo 2008
TequilaGringo 91 pts This tequila is a pale yellow. Smells of light citrus, honey, and generally sweet. On tasting it, we picked up a trace of caramel and a generally tequila taste that we really like. It’s definitely a complex tequila with a long finish. Not for the faint of heart though, as it has…
Frida Kahlo Anejo
TequilaGringo 88pts We found this to be a silky tequila. It didn’t have any bite, and light heat. A faint wisp of caramel along with honey notes. More barrel tasting than agave tasting. We thought it was a great sipping tequila but came up a little short compared to some of our other favorites because…
Stallion Tequila Anejo
Tequila Gringo 90pts We bought a small bottle of this just because of the bottle design frankly. Maybe we liked that one scene in the Godfather or something, who knows. At any rate, turns out – this is a hell of a tequila! And the full size bottle is also a candle holder! Now seriously,…
Siete Leguas Anejo
Tequila Gringo 89pts We came in with high hopes after seeing this tequila win the SF Spirit award for Top Anejo, and we didn’t find that this quite lived up to those hopes. We picked up a lot of agave in the taste, perhaps a little honey and some earthiness. It had a longish finish…
Partida Anejo
Tequila Gringo 89pts Partida is one of the old names in premium tequila in the US so we were excited to give it a try. Unfortunately for it though, we had it in a tasting with Casa Noble Anejo and Chinaco’s Anejo, and it just didn’t hold up in our opinion. It was very pleasant…
El Diamonte Del Cielo
From Tequila Gringo: 88 pts We loved this tequila. A relative brought it by on the recommendation from a store owner so we gave it a go. It sure passed the smell test, and we dove in. The first thing we noticed was the caramel and chocolately goodness. Vanilla was in there too. Smooth finish….
4 Copas Anejo
TequilaGringo 90 pts: Picked up agave on the nose. The first taste brought smoke, and then a surprising after taste of citrus. We felt it didn’t have much random barrel flavor (like vanilla or caramel) for an anejo (depending on your preferences, that can be a good or a bad thing), but if you read…
Gran Centenario Anejo
TequilaGringo 89 pts: A great tequila, and under 50 bucks. A very nice gift item too since it comes in a sweet, professional looking tube that makes it look like you spent more than you did! We particularly liked the caramel and spice that came through. Good distribution, pretty easy to find out there, you…
