If you ever get the chance, New Mexico has a quietly excellent Tequila and Mezcal scene. Santa Fe has its own little collection of Mezcal bars and there are several really great middle-of-nowhere spots all over the state.
I'm currently in Colorado but you got me thinking of some great times out in NM!
My G4 Tequila came today. I have not had any of this since July. Looking forward to opening it this weekend.
Ordered it from Sip Tequila. This was my first time using them. Came with a personalized card and excellent packaging and fast shipping. I will definitely be using them again.
Rey Sol Extra Anejo. I have been wanting to try this for over a year. It on the expensive side ($250) which is why I have stayed away. Last week Sip Tequila had free shipping so I decided to give myself a early B-Day present to myself.
The box folds open to display a unique bottle. It comes with a cool glass stopper. Can’t wait to open it tonight!! Hoping it will not disappoint!
In addition to the Rey Sol I also got the G4 5 year Extra Anejo. Another one I have stayed away from because of the price ($189). The the first time I have tried the 5 year. The regular Extra Anejo is 80 proof and is aged 3 years. This is 90 proof and is aged 5 years.
On a side note; this is what happens when you drink tequila and order tequila with free shipping.
I thought it would be cool to do a review. The best way to do this is to have a shot glass like the one pictured below. After pouring the tequila smell the aromas. The shot glass being tall and thin enhances the aromas. For me closing my eyes and smelling works best. After you drink it pay attention to the flavors you taste. Some are instant and then gone while others hang around. Lastly, smell the empty glass. In a lot of ways the aromas are much stronger in a empty glass. It will give you a greater appreciation of the tequila itself.
Aromas: Caramel mixed with vanilla and oak and agave. The Caramel is the dominant smell. Mixed with the other aromas it creates a distinct smell which is instantly recognizable.
Taste: this is a really smooth tequila. Easy going down with a slight burn. The flavors of caramel and vanilla hang around in your pallet long after you drink it. It leaves you fulfilled yet wanting more.
Pros: Smooth, easy going down with lots of different flavors. This could be a con for some people, but the flavor hangs around long after you drink it. For me its very satisfying.
Cons: the price! At $250 a bottle it will put a dent in your wallet.
Verdict: this is a excellent tequila! This has moved into my top 3.
