Barrel 5/12 Bottle #245 The Tequila Collective Barrel Nose: Warm, round aromas. Tropical spices. Cinnamon, cloves, allspice and nutmeg. Minty thyme and vanilla. A tiny ticke of white pepper. A touch of mineral sharpness as found in naturally occurring spring mineral waters. Banana cream pie, grilled pineapple and cherry lifesavers. Flavors: Unctuous sweetness coats the palate. Back palate pepper heat amps up. A nutty almond praline vibe. Frolicsome florals (gardenias?) and fruit. The tropical spices provide some balance and structure. Finish: A fun profile that will appeal to many. Be prepared for sweetness and rum nuances.
I believe 12 single barrels (rum) lote 100 blanco fill. I tasted 2 barrel lots from Sip tequila. One slightly darker then the other. Both nose, was excellent. Sweet, tropical notes. Light mouth feel. Pleasant finish.
Barrel # 5: Banana on the nose. What a unique nose. Tropical. Some barrel notes on the palate. Pepper on the finish. This is a nice sipper. I like everything but the price.
Single Barrel # 2 LA Tequila Club/Roadrunner exclusive. This is the infamous "Red Velvet" bottle. Aged in rum casks and you can tell. Agave joined by tropical notes of plantains, coconut, dried fruit, interestingly different, yet delicious.

Barrel #2 Red Velvet
Yeyo Reposado #2 - Yeyo used their Batch 100 Blanco to fill 12 Rum Casks that were aged and later bottled as 12 different single barrel Reposados. This is the Roadrunner Spirits / LA Tequila Club pick; Barrel #2. - The nose is vibrant and tropical. Pineapple jumps out of the glass along with mango and coconut. It has an agave backbone but also has hints of red velvet cake that’s easy on the cream cheese. It has a juicy fruit vibe going. The nose is very unique but pleasant and intriguing. It has a rum cake vibe. - The agave is more pronounced on the palate than the nose. The tropical flavors are certainly there. Pineapple, coconut, cooked agave sweetness, key limes and a sweet pepper finish with a pleasant tingle. This is a unique Reposado worth trying and stocking in your bar for sure.
