Considering how much good tequila I've been drinking that I've rated very well, I thought I'd try this to keep my reviews in perspective. So, here goes... Aroma : Heavy alcohol and medicinal aromas, and solvent. I didn't even detect any agave on this. Taste : Extremely bitter and heavy on alcohol, with some sickly sweet vanilla. Hot and unpleasant. Finish : Long, and not in a good way ; with all the wonderful flavor notes I listed previously. At the very least, you could buy this as a prank gift for all of your tequila fan friends. Then you can drink some Terralta like I'm going to right now to get this awful taste out of my mouth.
Aromas: Pear flavored Easter egg candy, artificial vanilla flavoring, and a subtle chemical undercurrent. Flavor: Bitterness, heat, chemical sweetness leaving a distasteful aftertaste - I literally could not swallow it.
A bottle from 7 or 8 years ago. This is just bad. Smells bad, tastes bad, finish is worse. I have to taste this every once in a while to maintain some perspective.
Aroma : Alcohol, agave, and oak. Some medicinal aromas as well. Taste : Very little agave and vanilla and some oak. But there is a ton of alcohol, medicinal/chemical notes here that overpower any good flavors you would look for in a Reposado. Hot and unappealing profile. Finish : Short with a ton of alcohol/artificial notes and barely any agave. The only thing this tequila has going for it is the fact that it isn't a mixto. Even then there doesn't seem to be any point in buying this if there are so many better tequilas at this price range.
