I really like the nose. Nice agave and butterscotch, oak, vanilla and caramel. Fruity with flowers. On the palate I get cooked agave, pepper, oak, vanilla and caramel. The alcohol does drowned out a lot of the flavors. This is okay but I have others I’d buy over this one.

Lighter in color than some other reposado's but the favor is there. Cinnamon, vanilla oak and some fruit overtones. Very nice.

Stopped into Cantina La Fuente in GDL. I haven't been here for years and they have really upped their tequila selection. I was surprised I hadn't rated this reposado since the blanco is my home bar mixer and often sipper. Aroma of cooked agave, black pepper, oak and caramel. Still has the classic very light amber from Carlos Camerena. Flavor of cooked agave, black pepper, oak and caramel. Medium finish

Nice clean nose. Light barrel nose. Easy palate

This is a good, very traditional reposado. The aroma is the stand out here. All the regular aromas of cooked agave, some light sweetness with caramel, and definitely some fruit. Taste and finish are both very good. There’s some good spice and pepper in it and some good warmth as it goes down.

One of my favorite Reposados. Personally prefer it over their Añejo expression. Very vegetal and herbaceous.

Reposados need to pay attention to this gem. One of faves today, although the older ones pre-2000 are my weapons of choice. Buttery soft with tons of warm cooked agave, macadamia, orange zest, melon, banana Gerber pudding, minerals, mint tea, damn this is fkn fantastic! Rating a 1998 bottle BTW, but even the newer ones are great, and under 45 bucks for a liter! Update: the 1 liter bottles are discontinued and replaced by the standard 750ml, which are still a steal!

A version of their blanco with fruity/sweeter notes. This expression has subtle tasteful notes of oak & barrel spice. On the sweetness, I got dehydrated pineapple, caramel & vanilla (volteado de piña cake), along with earthy and mineral hints. Medium length finish with agave and butterscotch/honey sensations. Would love to see a higher ABV Reposado

Excellent Repo 1998 , amazing

Sweet, green agave on nose. Citrus and peppery with ripe agave taste. Slight burn but just at threshold. A very good Repo. After opening up and aerating burn is same but flavors balance more. Smell citrus candy and maybe I'm still too much of a novice but a very, very slight scent of bleach. Not enough to stop enjoyment but discernable (to me, anyway).

LOT TR-016US 21/05/2019 Warming and drying initial nasal impact. Cooked agave, oak, banana bread, baking spice on the aroma. Oily mouthfeel with sufficient alcohol. Caramelized agave is upfront followed by baking spice, clove, honey, slight vanilla and some oak on a very balanced flavor. (Balanced because the oak doesn't overshadow the agave). A hint of the bourbon barrel shows some ankle in the background. Some orange marmalade on the retro nasal. A medium to long finish is where the pepper creeps in nicely. Another great aged expression from Carlos Camarena where the agave still is the star of the show (as it should be). This is a must have reposado. Extremely well balanced, (a tribute to Carlos Camarena, because the agave shines through). Certainly a top reposado for me. Added plus - great price point, 1 ltr bottle and a screw cap for easy travel. Could sip it all night.

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.

This tequila just makes me smile. Its fun. Distilled at La Altena, its not as refined as Ocho or aggressive as El Tesoro. Its the middle child. If the blanco is pears, this is a pear pie. Its really rounded out nice with agave forward taste with retaining the minerality of the blanco. The baked agave is still dominating with a sweetness of butterscotch and vanilla.

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.

1996

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
