a great tasting and smooth Blanco tequila that is finished in american oak barrels for a minimum of 14 days. aroma has cooked agave, a nice grassiness and pepper. taste: baking spices, pepper, anise and a hint of vanilla on the end. a really nice smooth tasting Blanco!
Absolutely delicious. Apple and agave and vanilla and caramel and oak. Fruity. Bang on with the apples.....And not just green apples. Red apples. Flower aroma and flavour. I bought his for $39 CDN at the Legacy Liquor store in downtown Vancouver. Bargain would not begin to describe...... I could drink this all night until I fell down in a stream with no pants on and wearing a cowboy hat. I freaking LOVED the El Tequileno Gran Reserva Repo..... And I like this better. It is very sweet, but I do not get the sense that it is artificially sweet. I do not know how they made this. Very unique flavour profile. Agave and red apple dominate. If this is a result of well chosen additives..... Then all power to the Master Distiller/Jimador...... Well done! The bottle I had was a little different than this (had the green agave symbol vs the black cart and ox or whatever) and was 40%. Furthermore (4 ounces later) the aroma is like red candy apples at the fair or carnival!!! Now $34 a bottle at the Legacy Liquor Store in Vancouver!!!! What the eff????? This has been chosen as the tequila that I simply MUST have in the house at all times.
