Reserve Añejo Flight Recipe

Set up a tasting space with three labeled glasses (1, 2, 3), a carafe of room-temperature water, and neutral palate cleansers (plain bread or crackers). Ensure all bottles are ready to pour just before service.

Pour 45 ml of Jose Cuervo 1942 Reserva de la Familia Tequila Añejo into Glass 1. Swirl gently for 5 seconds, evaluate aroma, then take a small sip to initiate the tasting.

Pour 45 ml of Azunia Tequila Añejo 2 Year into Glass 2. Swirl, smell, and compare its aroma and sweetness with Glass 1.

Pour 45 ml of San Matias Gran Reserva Tequila Añejo into Glass 3. Swirl, smell, and compare its oak, spice, and vanilla notes with the previous samples.

Taste order: Start with Glass 1, then Glass 2, then Glass 3. For each, take a small sip, hold for 2-3 seconds to coat the palate, then exhale slowly to perceive aroma while noting sweetness, oak, and finish. Rinse with a small amount of water between samples if needed.

Conclude with a brief note on balance and finish of each tequila, provide any pairing suggestions or personal preferences, and offer a short palate-cleanser between samples.
