Tres Generaciones Añejo Tequila Review

Let’s cut to the chase, I’m going to sit down with some Tres Generaciones Añejo and see how it tastes. Before we taste it, we’ve got to respect the lightly gold color, reminding me of a light beer without the carbonation. The scents rise up quickly into the air, with a “briney” vanilla flavoring and touches of sweet agave notes all wrapped in a light oak.

I found some subtle caramel in the bouquet when swirling around the Tres Generaciones Añejo Tequila. It was most apparent when swirling and bringing my nose further away from the glass. Without further contemplation, we move on to the taste and true flavor profile of the Añejo.

Initially, the great thick viscosity really hit home, almost a light oil consistency with subtle attack of dried agave and green fruit skins, very sensual and seductive. The mid-palate transition was a sweet agave nectar flavoring transitioning into an oak finish with great cracked pepper flavors. There was indeed a slight tingling sensation on the finish but very little “heat” in the way of alcohol making this Añejo a very nice experience from start to finish.

Although it wasn’t the most complex Añejo I’ve tasted, finding this tequila under $50.00 is quite possible. The spicy white pepper finish was intriguing and fun while serving itself as a well matured aged tequila which makes me yearn for a spicy beef burrito (odd isn’t it?) Many flavors were a bit more muted than I may have liked but they hinted at more of a dried fruit rather than an over-ripe or under-ripe tropical fruit which I’ve seen in other Añejos.

This is no doubt one of my top five more favored Añejo tequila brands which would go perfect after a nice Mexican dinner as an after-dinner sipping tequila. Tres Generaciones Añejo brings a lot of experience to the table while keeping the product affordable for a sipping spirit. I’d choose Tres Generaciones over an equivalent priced brandy or whiskey.
