A look at Los Azulejos Anejo Tequila and it’s pretty bottle.

The bottle of Los Azulejos that I received was a work of art. Delivered in a porcelain bottle that when placed against other tequilas it stands out by itself. It gave me the impression that it was the little bottle “that could” and that it stood among other bottles exuding pride above all else.

After a bottle looked this stunning, I had even higher hopes for what this tequila would taste like, luckily I wasn’t disappointed.

Los Azulejos ages their Anejo for 14-18 months in oak barrels originating from the Bordeaux region of France which gives it a very interesting and impressive flavor profile.

Upon bringing the glass to my nose, I was presented with heavy notes of agave and spice.

Once tasted, flavors of cinnamon, spice and agave attack your palate, followed by mild notes of spiced chocolate and vanilla intertwined.

Upon further tastes, the spice began to mellow and the sweetness began to take over.

Loz Azulejos Anejo retails for $69.95 per bottle.

Rating 8.5/10
