Aroma: Incredibly flavorful aroma. I get butter, berries, caramel, oak, mint and cooked agave. Definitely going the flavor is as complex! Flavor: Slightly bitter, lots of oak, and a bit of caramel. Probably too oaky for my liking but I can see where some people would love this tequila. Finish: Nice strong and solid finish. Definitely better than the Blanco and Reposado.
Aroma: Much better than the Blanco. It's definitely not as harsh. I get butter, pepper, oak and a slight bit of chocolate. Flavor: Not as complex as the Blanco but still solid. I get some butterscotch on the front and it finishes with a bit of cooked agave and pepper. Finish: Very smooth. This is a great Reposado.
