Corrido single barrel reposado. Very nice! Similar notes to what I sensed in the regular Repo—Butterscotch, grapefruit, barrel spice, oak, agave. Nice tears, tingle and medium finish.
Nose brings a sweet grassiness and some agave. Really that almost creamy but grassy note is the most prominent note. Lemon custard notes, very “rounded”. On the palate, it’s agave, some brininess, a touch of olives. Surprisingly sweet but not cloying by any means. Overall super solid offering. I definitely enjoy this much more than the añejo. I’d love a high proof version of this. I won’t stock the aged expressions but I’ll probably keep the blanco around.

During the time of U.S. Prohibition, the Corrido, a musical form of Mexican folklore, often honored the tequilero, or tequila smugglers, who gained popularity along the border. The "smugglers" of Corrido tequila are hoping for a similar popularity.
Last week at the Indy Spirits Expo in San Francisco, I had the chance to try the new Tequila Corrido.
