No hidden agenda here, tastes like the Blanco with a touch of added sweetness and spice from the oak. Still loads of agave to be had, especially on the finish.
Nice nose: Some mineral notes, melon, agave, a dried fruit of some sort? Candied piña and honey. Butterscotch or caramel aroma. Very light oak. Flavor: Banana bread spices, agave, anise, pepper, and oiliness on the tongue. Finishes with pepper, sweet agave and a bitter tang. There is also a musty note.
Strong agave nose with light vanilla notes. Medium to light viscosity. I've had much better bottles of Tapatio Repo- the agave in here smells a little green.

Oyamel Washington DC $12 a subtle and easy tequila. both the nose and tongue are soft, maybe too soft for the tequila purist. still you taste shadows of cooked agave and earthy herbs followed by sweet fruit. I'm shocked this is 40abv. a great tequila to introduce people to the agave world.
herbal nose with thyme, mint. zesty herbal entry, with menthol and black pepper. good balance, finish could be a bit stronger.
On the subtle side as far as aromas. Still pick up nice agave and spice/citrus...fairly thin mouth feel with a mellow finish/ very little alcohol" burn"
Slight Green Pepper nose Green ,sweet tart Agave , semi dry finish
Very unique and interesting. On the nose I get vegetal grass and raw agave. But, I also get a sweet note (possibly caramel) which makes me wonder if it's been very slightly aged. There also seems to be a hint of mint. The flavor is very mild but builds to a strong finish. If not for the finish I would wonder if it was watered down a bit. Much like the nose I get raw agave and mint on the taste. I just wish the flavors were stronger.
Slightly fruity aroma, hot finish
Aroma: agave, citrus, alcohol and spice. Flavors of black pepper, agave and vanilla. A short and somewhat sweet finish
Tasted blind Nose - Agave and wood spice Taste - Agave sweetness with oak char elements. Slight bitterness from caramelized oak and agave notes
The nose was like walking into a distillery, had sweet agave, light wood, flowers at the bottom of the glass. Pepper on the tongue, earthy and light agave and wood on the mouth. Anise on the finish.
Everyday tequila cant match this flavor for the price.
Rated blind. Sampled in Riedel Overture. Glass: Very pale straw color. Early tears dissipate into wide flat legs. Later tears are larger as the coating in the glass sheets away, leaving a number of pearls on the glass. Aroma: Initially sharp with agave, alcohol and mint, but becoming more complex as it quickly opens up, revealing baked agave, brown sugar, pepper and apple with a soft vanilla undertone. Excellent. Some nice caramel notes reveal themselves at the very bottom of the glass. Entry: Smooth and slightly sweet and buttery with a touch of pepper. Flavor: Big cooked agave notes, sweet butter, apple and black pepper with a hint of grapefruit. Excellent. Finish: Lots of wet pepper and sweet agave stay with you in the long finish. Conclusion: This is an excellent full-flavored light repo. Not a lot of barrel notes, but big on the agave.
Cooked Agave on the nose, with a little sweet vanilla and some alcohol. I get a hint of acetone and medicine on the back of the nose, which prevents it from being a great aroma. A lot of agave on the palate, with a very light barrel touch and and a bit of fun alcohol burn in the mid of the tongue, not too sweet. Medium to long finish with no bitterness. A good tequila, It lacks some complexity and balance to be an exceptional one but definitely fun and worth the price. One of my fav between the ones tasted
Good
excellent agave and honey sweetness with delicious aftertaste, not much on the nose but flavour more than makes up for it
aromas frutales, sobre todo a piñas frescas, sabor original y fuerte muy impregnado a frutas
Floral, citrus Smooth taste,
stone fruit on the nose round tequila with agave and stone fruit sweetness finishes warm
This is what a repo is supposed to smell like, wow! Sweet agave that balances well with barrel influence, joined by a caramel-ly buttery butterscotch. They definitely just took the blanco and stuck it in a barrel...delicious. The finish fades quick but at the same time lingers a couple minutes with faded caramel. Very good!
Not much to add to this vs other comments... This is great. Simple. Oakey and caramel. Yummy. I did like the Blanco better. Huge butterscotch and oak vs vanilla. Am getting more cinnamon on the finish than most. Tasty. Definitely an evening sipper. Pricey at $74 CDN in Vancouver. Tapatio does NOT use additives to its Repo. So this is the real deal. A great basis for repos........

Aroma : Cooked agave and vegetal, grassy notes. There is also some caramel, oak, and very light mint. Taste : Cooked agave, banana, and the same unique minerality you see in the Blanco. Some vanilla and caramel, and more grassy notes from the aroma. This is somewhat oily, and very light in flavor. Finish : Medium length with agave and caramel, and slightly bitter. This is another light bodied tequila. But the light flavor is not accompanied by any significant depth you might see in other brands. This is still fairly good though.
