    TEQUILA TASTING and RATINGS


    Agave

    Welcome to our Featured Tequila page. This page will be revised periodically to feature a different brand of Tequila.

    Our current "featured tequila" is: Kirkland Añejo


    Kirland Anejo

    Kirkland Añejo Tequila is produced at the Fabrica de Tequilas Finos Distillery (NOM 1472) located in the town of Tequila, Jalisco.


    Kirkland Añejo is made of 100 % Blue Agave. The hand-selected piñas weigh 50-70 pounds with an average age of 8 years at harvest. This "extra-aged" spirit is double-distilled in stainless steel pot stills and aged an average of 3 years in American oak barrels. The tequila is then blended by Master Distiller Arturo Fuentes. Dark amber in color, this tequila has a peppery and smoky flavor with a hint of sweet spice.


    Kirkland is a signature brand carried by Costco. In November 2009, a one-liter bottle was selling for under $25 in the San Diego area. As shown, Kirkland Añejo doesn't come is a real fancy bottle and it lacks some complexity found in many extra añjos. It does not have a strong agave flavor, but for the price it is a pretty good value.
