Aroma/Taste: The tequila opens with notes of cooked agave, followed by a hint of Parmesan cheese and a touch of yeast. The earthiness is reminiscent of damp soil, and the barrel aging contributes rich oak, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove undertones. Finish: The finish is medium to medium-long, leaving a warm trail of baking spices and a kick of black pepper. A subtle bitterness lingers, adding complexity. Overall: This tequila strikes a harmonious balance between the sweetness of cooked agave and the gentle influence of light barrel aging. It’s perfect for sipping, especially by the firepit on cool evenings.
Smells excellent- like wet stone after a rain storm Clean taste & finish. This would be a great gateway tequila for a blance drinker getting into reposados Very versatile. Subtle hints of tropical fruit, sweet fruits, stone, dirt, and herbacious notes. Touches all corners of taste. I like this one
Eye- clear with a slight tint on yellow Nose-loads of cinnamon, upfront and pure agave sweetness with a slight bit of dark chocolate Taste- cooked agave, barrel spice, slight bit of orange peel, and light pepper. The bitterness from maybe the orange peal stays on the back end and last (subtle).
Clean agave with a subtle palate and soft finish. Tasted with AF 2024 Blind Repo. My lowest scoring tasting. This one did not sit with me.
Blind- Light on the color. Vegetal with some smoke and minerality on the nose. On the palate I get vegetal notes like bell pepper and some minerals.
While aficionados tend to prefer blanco tequilas, and imbibers of dark spirits usually gravitate towards añejos, the reposado category is often overlooked.
