Zumbador Blanco sample from Bill Durnbaugh Adjusting up for value Nose: at first i got vegetal citrus pepper. Then the agave and fruit came out. It kept evolving! Anise and mint came forward. It gets more complex as it opens. Palate: agave pepper minerality and anise Finish: peppery that comes back around to sweet agave and more pepper I'm impressed ! need to get a bottle of this. Not rated for value because I don't know price. Will adjust if need be when I know cost

The 12 weeks of aging in Ex-American Oak Whiskey barrels truly imparts more than I expected. This young Reposado has a very present aroma of barrel spice sitting on top of the aromas of the blanco. It’s agave, pepper and minerals. The barrel spice stands out on the palate too. I’m guessing these barrels are first fill barrels for tequila. The agave is still very present as is the minerality and the vegetal peppers. This is a tasty Reposado that’s packed with flavor. There’s even some hints of orange peel. It’s a great flavorful Reposado at an outstanding price around 30.

On the nose I get a very traditional cooked agave that’s buttery and has some nice minerality white pepper and brine. There’s hints of alcohol and a faint peppery vegetal note. There’s a classic quality to it. I’m tasting several notes at once. It’s buttery cooked agave, peppers, earthy minerals and a touch of natural agave sweetness. That sweetness carries into a slightly pepper finish that pleasantly lingers. There’s some nice alcohol tingle on the palate. Overall this is a very tasty tequila and it’s coming in at a great price around 25
