Finally the trio is completed, and according to a minor argument we had with a friend of the site – it’s about damn time. They’d made it abundantly clear to us that for Espolón – the Reposado was okay, and the Anejo wasn’t worth the time or additional funds (agreed) – the Blanco was where the real action is at. Well call us crow eaters because they were entirely correct.
Wow, time really does fly by. Three years ago we reviewed the Reposado of this and mused about trying the Anejo in bourbon barrels. While we didn’t build up any expectations, sadly we were still let down kind of. The main issue seems to be that by ageing it in bourbon it’s oddly picked up harshness and isn’t the smooth sipping tequila it should be.
Tequila lovers rejoice because Honest Booze Reviews is committed to trying and not just review scotches (he says knowing last weeks post). Anyway this week we come to something I bought just because of the art on the bottle intrigued me – a clear motif for Mexico’s Day of the Dead.
