This tequila is made with agaves that they cook using stone brick ovens and autoclaves (low pressure). They then use both batches of cooked agaves to make their blanco tequila. This Añejo is aged for 18 months in French oak & American oak barrels. They then blend the 50/50 mix of the FO & AO barrels to create their final product. 80 proof - 40% ABV. - The nose is very aromatic. It’s full of ripe fruits (plumbs & plantains) and caramelized buttery cooked agave. The FO & AO barrels add some spicy and sweet barrel notes. The nose is slightly sweeter than spicy. The extra aging and the French oak seemed to have tamed the spicy American oak barrels. There are some lighter notes of minerals and wet hay but mostly the denser sweet notes prevail. It’s a very pleasant nose with several layers. - The flavors are dense but not too heavy. The sweetness is lesser on the palate than the nose. The cooked agave is the backbone. It’s has a browned butter quality that adds some nuttiness. There’s some slight cinnamon, nutmeg and then some chipotle peppers kick in. The capsaicins are present but mild. The barrel spices are slightly dry but the cooked agave, fruit (dried banana chip) and French oak influence balance it out nicely. This Añejo is a nice treat and I’m really enjoying the use of the FO & AO barrels.

Rey Del Mundo Reposado is a sweet and spicy treat. It’s made with agaves that they cook using stone brick ovens and autoclaves (low pressure). They then use both batches of cooked agaves to make their tequila. Their Repo is aged for 6 months in French oak & American oak barrels. They then blend the 50/50 mix of the FO & AO repos to create their final product. 80 proof - 40% ABV. - On the nose, I initially get the sweet smell of the cooked agave and then the barrel spices kick in. The FO lends a softer sweetness while the AO gives it a peppery quality. I detect some aromas from red fruit and I’m reminded of sweet potato casserole with the earthy cooked sweet potatoes and the brown sugar pecan topping. The melted butter and cinnamon are present. Some cinnamon and barrels spice are present too. This repo has an aromatic nose with a warming sensation. - There’s a pleasant density to the agave sweetness and some nice depth to the spiciness. The earthy quality from the nose is denser and the spices are more peppery. I enjoy the cohesiveness of the nose and flavors. The 50/50 blend of the FO & AO aging works well. There are some dark caramel and roasted jalapeño notes. There are some underlying cooked stone fruits that I typically get from aged highland tequilas. - This is a flavorful and cohesive Reposado.

Rey Del Mundo Blanco — “The King of the World” This 100% Agave Blanco comes in a tall bottle that’s frosted black with a clear triangular design towards the bottom on the front and back that allows you to peer through the bottle and see the tequila that awaits you. - The nose is light with hints of fresh agave, lemongrass, almonds, and a hint of sweetness with a vegetal background. There’s also a touch of alcohol on the nose and a faint floral note. - The sweetness hits the tip of the tongue and on the mid palate. The cooked agave shows up with that faint lemongrass and almond note. The body is acceptable; it’s not too thin but it’s not dense either. There’s a pleasant white pepper and green vegetal finish there to remind you that you’re drinking a Branco tequila. - Overall it’s a good Branco. It’s not complicated but it’s refined enough to sip on and I’m sure it’ll hold up in all of your tequila cocktails - Salud! - I only found one reference for price and it showed mid 90s. That hurts the tasting.

Nose: Initial caramel aromas, followed up with chocolate and malted milk, a yeasty note and fresh thyme and oregano. Flavor: Strong chocolate notes persist, with vanilla, roasted hazelnuts and medium pepper heat. Nice viscosity. Finish: A touch on the sweet side but a pleasing offering.
