Truly a Solid list! I enjoy all of those mentioned. The only one I have no experience tasting is Suave, but its on my list now. I'd add to this list G4 and 123 Tequila Anejo.
I tried the suerte repersado and the General DIaz blanco, it’s made with additives and sweetener gave me a headache. I thought is was additive and sweetener free.
@@iamdougprice Thanks for ur reply....really enjoy the channel. Are all your podcasts here on UA-cam? Meanwhile I often struggle with Anejos as they are prone (imo) to excess barrel influence and I'll never understand the apparent widespread use of "Jack and Jim" barrels for aging... those products are disgusting. I'm excited to see the agave industry start to innovate with different barrels like the whiskey industry does now. I'd love to see things like cider, rye whiskey or Port casks used for example. Salud and thanks for allowing me to soap box a little.
I have a question, I have never been much of a whisky/scotch drinker with limited experience cant say I enjoy it all that much, I tried a bottle of Hornitos Anejo and absolutely hated it. Do you think it would be wise for me to try an expensive bottle of Anejo tequila or just stick with repasado? I like to think I have a good palette as I only eat very dark chocolate and i stay away from sugary things.
I would definitely stay away from hornitos as it is junky mass produced tequila. I would try a good quality Anejo. Price doesn’t dictate quality. Try to find Suerte, Terralta, Insolito( it will have some whiskey vibes because of the barrels) Gran Dovejo as well. All have excellent Anejos that are well priced.
Love your information to help a poor old man make the right buys in choosing tequilas, Anejos remind me of good bourbons. Wondrring, I seem to find knowing the blanco first make the Reposado snd Anejos more enjoying, maybe just me??
G4 is an amazing brand. Sadly the Anejo from them is my least favorite in the line up. Still solid but a handful of other Anejos I’d pick over it. Thanks for watching.
If the barrel you're using at home was purchased from Amazon, you got ripped off and your final product will be wood tannin and bitter. The barrels they sell are used-up barrels that have been sterilized and refreshed to look like they're new use but they're not, so all the compounds that a barrel would normally impart to a spirit are missing and the only thing you're going to get is bitter wood tannins. Better to age in a glass or stainless steel bottle with properly toasted and charred wood staves inserted in it. Much better result than using one of those depleted barrels though it admittedly doesn't look as cool.
Drink my straight as shot portions anejo I tried are teremana Cabo wabo casamigos tres generacions mi familia( hate that one ) and my favorite tequila ocho
Good list, I would add Don Fulano añejo
New to quality tequilas and really getting into it. Your channel has been great. Thanks!

Excellent List ! I'm a neat sipper
Follow up comment....hard to imagine u didn't include Siete Leguas anejo, so fuqn good.
One añejo I do enjoy is Siete Leguas. Loaded with agave.
Solid pick. I love their Reposado
I remember when Fortaleza did the extra anejo mix on the Lot 42/43 - A. So grateful to have purchased that bottle
Have a bottle of 43a and enjoyed it with some friends over the weekend.
@@iamdougprice That’s the right way to enjoy it, with friends and familia
Great list, i would add Don Pilar, g4 and Ocho Anejo, but love your list
G4 and Ocho fo shoooo
Fortaleza is incredible. I have never had Suave, sounds interesting. I would add G4 to the list.
Appreciate the game!! Graduated to actually drinking quality alcohol recently. Now I have to figure out where to start first on this list
Great info… thanks
Very nice Doug- love it
So far I’m really liking Casa Noble Anejo, Tierra Sagrada Anejo & Patron Extra Anejo.
Great list. I haven't heard of Suave. I'll need to try it.
Solid list! Personally I’m not into theGran Dovejo, too floral oak cherry to me. But I’d add in siembra valles
Siembra Valles is definitely solid.
Don Roberto anejo and extra anejo are excellent
Great video on tequila. I've been drinking suavacito anjeo last few months. Have you ever had it.
I tried the suerte repersado and the General DIaz blanco, it’s made with additives and sweetener gave me a headache. I thought is was additive and sweetener free.
Hi there. Thanks for watching. I’m fairly confident that Suerte is additive free. I’m not familiar with the other one you mentioned.
+1 on the Suerte and Tapatio, my 2 favorite values in the Anejo category.
Both great options

I’d like to see your list now 2 years later
I’m sure there would be some updates for sure.

Does all tequilas burn like a patron. Blanco ? I’m new just turn 21
No
I purchase the suerte repersado today it’s very sweet like it has sweetner and additives I’m not impressed. I thought it was additive free.
Is it? Is suerte additive free??
surprised you didn't mention G4 Anejo
G4 is an amazing brand. Sadly the Anejo from them is my least favorite in the line up. Still solid but a handful of other Anejos I’d pick over it. Thanks for watching.
That Suerte blanco bottle is looking pretty dark. 😁
I know not what you speak of. haha
My favorite = tequila epifania azul anejo
Cool intro

Suavecito is really smooth and on the sweet side. My favorite is Jose Cuervo "La Familia Reserva" Extra Anejo ($150-200)
Drink my straight as shot portions anejo I tried are teremana Cabo wabo casamigos tres generacions mi familia( hate that one ) and my favorite tequila ocho
Adictivo Anejo
Get on with it! Talking too much! WOW! 😮
