I’ve been drinking Don Julio for years now and it’s hard to believe that I’ve never reviewed the añejo. There are two bottles that are always in my collection, this and the reposado from Don Julio. I think it’s safe to say that that I’ve got very few negative things to say about this bottle.
It’s often more difficult for us Europeans to get our hands on premium tequilas, but sometimes when you think things are working against you, the can also work in your favour. Here in Europe we’re not subject to advertising and we tend to try a bit of this and a bit of that without any prejudice. Unlike the US, we’re not spoilt for choice, and on a recent trip through Amsterdam I picked up a bottle of Los Pilones Añejo.
Okies, I had to dive into town over lunch and decided to pop into my local tequila shop. Regrettably they’re having trouble getting their hands on my favourite bottle of Jose Cuervo Añejo, so I thought I’d roll the dice and pick up a bottle of Tres Generaciones Añejo instead.
Casa Vieja is a premium tequila made from 100% blue agave, in the Arandas, Jalisco region of Mexico. The tequila is twice distilled to achieve a soft, smooth taste, and to perfectly extract the fruit aroma and flavor of the blue agave. It is then aged and matured in white oak barrels, refining the flavor and creating a cognac-like body. The tequila is certified OU Kosher for both Passover and year-round use, when bearing the OU hologram on the bottle.
Porfidio Añejo Single-Barrel has been the winner in four consecutive years of the World Champion Añejo Tequila Award by the Wine Enthusiast with the highest qualification ever given to a tequila brand (98 out of 100). The Cactus bottle has also received numerous awards for it’s beautiful and innovative design.
