the flavor profile of a featured tequila!\u00a0 It is simply too complex and at the same time completely integrated.\u00a0<strong> El Tesoro 70<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversario<\/strong> is an outstanding and singular tequila.\u00a0 It\u2019s difficult to over-praise this masterful juice.\u00a0 Take one sniff and you can only say, \u201cAhhh, El Tesoro\u201d.\u00a0 As singular as <strong>El Tesoro<\/strong> is in all of its \u201cbasic ages\u201d, this extra-extra anejo (new category?) is that singular taste-smell plus a whole lot more.\u00a0 You\u2019ll garner all of the flavor details of <strong>ET\u2019s<\/strong> regular anejo (agave, spice, floral, thick layers of sweet nut) but add a side slather of hazelnut and almond and you only start to begin to describe the rich and full flavor sensations.\u00a0 It\u2019s a bona fide <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">LIFE-CHANGER<\/span> as called by <strong>Th\u2019 Lip<\/strong>, and worth just about any price you will pay

presented too strong an alcohol cloud.\u00a0 And the smaller, focused cordial glasses concentrated the sweetness of the <strong>El Tesoro<\/strong> but left out a whole side wall of agave spice.\u00a0 Time after time the <strong>Ouverture<\/strong> came up the winner with its concentration of sweetness on the nose and its presentation of the widest variety of flavors on the palate.\u00a0 Just when
