Until recently, we hadn’t cared much for reposado — tequila that has been aged in oak barrels from 2 to 12 months. It seems too middle-of-the-road: like blanco (no barrel aging) without the bite, añejo (aged for longer than a year) without the flavor. But
I can't believe that it's taken me this long to try this tequila. I like the blanco...and the anejo and 1942 are two of my favorites. It was worth the wait.
This tasting had the advantage of following two really bad tequilas - Mi Familia Cristallino and Addictivo Anejo. This actually taste something like a tequila after those two I will say that before my conversion to AF, this was a go to of mine. I get agave on the nose along with barrel spices. Nose is decent The taste has a bit of that artificial sweetness but nowhere near what those others are putting out. Nothing special about this offering but I can drink it. I’d take Patron Repo over this in a place that doesn’t offer really good tequila but I would not turn this down if offered to me.
