Tequila, like many hard liquors, has gotten a bad reputation
from ignorant young people who don’t know how to drink, or appreciate a good
spirit. Good tequila, and especially an Anejo, is not to be taken in a shot
glass, and certainly doesn’t need a chaser. It deserves to be sipped, savored,
and caressed, to be appreciated and enjoyed. Comisario Tequila’s oak aged Anejo
is one of the finest of such tequilas that I have had.
With a deep gold color, and an immediate nose of pepper and
agave, the Comisario Anejo lets you know right of the bat what you’re getting into.
The nose is fierce and stinging, which gives way to the familiar bite that we
all know comes with tequila. Where this anejo differs though, is how it smooths
out in your mouth. What begins as a sharp tingling gives way to a soft, smooth,
warming as it slides down, leaving behind notes of pepper, caramel, and oak.
