Meloza Añejo Tequila review

I bought a bottle of Meloza Añejo Tequila the other week on a lark. I had never heard of it, but the price was ok and the bottle looked interesting.  Well, I was fairly impressed; Meloza has a nice smooth finish, and pleasant taste.   

The tequila itself is a light gold amber. It does not have the smell of raw alcohol, which is common of less pure tequilas.  Meloza has scents of earth and aloe, with slight hints of the barrel.  The taste is light and sweet building to a spicy burn that really feels good.  Down the throat, it reminds me of a good smooth bourbon in the even, light burn it gives.   

 

This tequila would go well with some lamb, or wild game stew.  Overall, an excellent addition to the fine tequilas at the middle of the price range.

Enjoyed some Hornitos Añejo at a wedding this weekend

Hornitos Añejo: this is not your average Tequila; this is a smooth shooting tequila. A lot of people think Patrón is tops but I find it to be WAY over priced. This tequila is easily as good as Patrón, and one third the price. Hornitos Añejo has a fiery start with a pleasant tang that lets you know you have just knocked back a great tequila, but the real joy comes in the fact that there is no chemical feeling of hellfire in your mouth and throat -- just a smooth baritone tequila. This is 100% pure agave tequila that was done right, a hint of some smoke from the barrel and a lot of agave flavor.  Stick around tequila lovers; I have lots of weddings this month and I love my Tequila, so we shall be reviewing a couple more bottles this weekend. Then off to another wedding where we will be drinking Scotch!
