This Añejo STILL Tastes Like Agave… Tapatío Añejo Review
About this episode
Tapatío Añejo review, additive-free tequila, añejo tequila review, La Alteña NOM 1139, Camarena tequila, agave forward tequila, traditional tequila Most añejo tequilas lean heavy into oak… but this one doesn’t. In this review, I break down why Tapatío Añejo is considered a cult favorite and why it STILL tastes like agave after 18 months in bourbon barrels. Produced at La Alteña Distillery (NOM 1139) by the Camarena family, this additive-free tequila is made using traditional methods—brick ovens, tahona + roller mill extraction, open-air fermentation, and copper pot distillation. We’ll cover: * The NEW bottle & label update * Nose, palate, and finish * Why this stands out from other añejos * Who this tequila is perfect for (including whiskey drinkers) If you’re looking for a true agave-forward aged tequila, this might be one of the best values out there. Drop a comment: Do you prefer agave-forward or oak-forward añejos? #tapatio #tequila #anejo #additivefreetequila #tequilareview ©Tasting Tequila with Brad
