Featured at Total Wine and More, this at least is a decent 100% Tequila unlike the diffuser made Don Roberto crap TW has also been promoting. Color of this is very dark for a Reposado though I'll note this is French Oak aged, maybe newly charred? Tastes OK though with some minerality, spice from the barrel and a nice back taste of agave as it finishes. Sweetness from the barrel and some richness from the FO make this a heavy Reposado. This could pass for many brands Añejo.
Minimal agave nose. Nothing else. Mid palate has a tropical feel but it is not sweet. The finish is harsh. Bitter almost a chemical taste. The heat stays in your cheeks for quite a while. But I notice a flaw, and unwanted and slightly unpleasant taste in my throat. After enjoying the Blanco, I am disappointed. Especially at the price I paid. I’m sure you’ll find a better way to spend your $54.00 plus tax.
Seemed soft initially for a Stainless Steel distilled product but this Blanco took on a sharper character after sitting for a half hour or so in the glass. I like this quite a bit as it strokes a personal sweet spot flavor wise with some anise notes which I have always enjoyed. It's not overdone and is a great addition to the overall profile of this, for me, surprising Blanco release.
Not much flavor Very smooth finish One cube makes extremely smooth finish and brings out a subtle flavor
