The aroma is buttery with caramel and agave. Alcohol and brine emanates as well with earthy peppery watery notes. The taste is agave forward with caramel, brine, honey,pepper. A pleasant reposado and worth the price.

I definitely like this more than the blanco, and at $21-25, it’s very well priced imo. The cooked agave is there on nose and palate, that grassiness I get from the blanco is rounded out with a little caramel and oak. Decent as a sipper but very good in a margarita or Paloma.

Earthy tones with smidge of cut grass and raw agave

For this price range about as good as it gets.

Update: by no means top shelf but a great value tequila that I break out to make the heavy hitters last longer. very tasty repo. Great sipper or in margarita

Bought to try and use in barrel aging project. Paid USD27.99 in January 2021. Aroma is somewhat herbal, which is nice, but also has some alcohol, which is not so nice. It reminds me a bit of 1800 from a long time ago. The nose has some nice things going on, but also some undesirable characteristics. First impression is that this is a decent reposado, in that the agave is more present than oak, probably due to use of large casks and/or short aging period. Flavor is inoffensive and subtle, nothing wowing though. This could be sipped, as a result. Oak characteristics are minimal, but round out the harshness (not much) of the blanco. The price is right, but you also get what you pay for.

Aroma : Cooked agave, oak, vanilla. Some pepper and cinnamon here as well. Taste : Some agave presence, caramel, cinnamon, not as much oak as I would expect from the aroma. Some black pepper as well as nutmeg and anise. Finish : Medium length with caramel, cinnamon, and orange flavor. More agave and very light pepper here as well. This doesn't have as much of the "green" flavor the Plata has, something I could do without, but I wish the flavors were more pronounced here.

Good cooked agave aroma. Very good taste and finish. I would buy again.

Really punchy, I would definitely recommend this for making cocktails, it scratches an itch that not many brands do(boozy and agave forward).

Some smokiness there.

Nose: Big agave aromas, earthy cellar notes, finely ground pepper and ripe red fruits. Flavor: Creamy caramel, cinnamon, cloves, anise, pepper and agave.

This is a real bargain Reposado with agave shining through a smooth finish.

Good value, tastes a bit flavoured?

nutty chocolate notes, quick soft burn, easy finish

I don't get why some esteemed fellows tequileros are so lenient with this juice. I could taste the artificial-chemical vanilla sweetness even when mixed in a Jamaica Marg. Not for me, I don't care at what price!

My Guess: 42

Buttered popcorn jelly belly aroma

Aroma: This one is very briny. It almost reminds me a bit of an olive. There is also a hint of oak. Flavor: The flavor is a definite surprise. I was thinking it was going to be a bit salty but ended up being much more peppery. I also get a little hint of oak Finish: The finish is pretty mellow and not too exciting. It falls off pretty quickly.

Lot of spice in the mouth with some tongue numbing. Long finish.

Light Gold , Quick Skinny Legs Vanilla , Sweet Baked Agave , Citrus & Oak Tahona Tastiness Full Flavor Nice Finish.......Solid Tequila & Excellent Value $

This tequila is definitely delivering a bang for the buck. It is priced low enough that it could be used by bars in cocktails, but I can drink this straight with no problem. The aroma isn't bad, but it's not my favorite part of the experience. The flavor is just loaded with sweet delicious caramelized baked agave, and the finish delivers a long and pleasant creamy vanilla treat. I am shocked that they can create this level of tequila at this price.

I prefer the Plata but this is still a great, easy drink g sipper that’s also gonna be great in a cocktail. Lovely nose, not too oaky, agave is there, some citrus, and an easy finish. Solid budget option!

For $35, a great balanced tequila that gives you that true anejo flavor. Great for shots or mixed drinks.

NOSE: it teases vanilla and caramel, but then assaults you with high alcohol and doesn’t let you back into the aromas easily MOUTH/TASTE: ALCOHOL BURN. Somewhere behind the unpleasant level of fire are notes of vanilla oak, caramel, black pepper. FINISH: just unpleasant burn. It’s a value tequila that tastes like a value tequila with some character but overshadowed by the unpleasant side of it all. POSSIBLE ADDITIVES- flavor notes and body feel hint at them, need further tastes to confirm. But there is little enjoyable about this neat. Maybe it will be redeemed as a margarita or mixer?

The reposado bottle number is #18JF9603 and I opened it up (it’s a screw-top bottle, not a cork) on 28 September 2024 and did multiple tasting sessions (at least five, if memory serves).  I used a Riedel tequila flute glass, which is presently my favorite glassware for tequila tastings, for all of the tasting sessions.  For the initial tasting on 28 September, I let the reposado open up and aerate in the glass for 30 minutes.  This helped dissipate some of the very strong alcohol aroma on the neck pour. On the nose initially, before it sat and opened up, there was still quite a strong aroma of alcohol followed by hints of cooked agave, cinnamon and baking spices, and a sweetness that reminded me of honey.  After aerating for a half-hour, the alcohol, though still noticeable when nosing the glass, had been tamed down significantly.  There were more prominent aromas of sweet cooked agave and baking spices, a fruity citrus that reminded me of a mix of orange and grapefruit (which left a tingling sensation in the nostrils), a peppery kick, hints of vanilla and caramel (though these seemed a bit masked by the remaining alcohol), oak influences, and some vegetal notes.  The caramel aroma got stronger after the reposado was swirled and some of the remaining alcohol aroma dissipated.  The reposado had a nice viscosity in the glass, coating the sides well with legs/tears and leaving behind pearls. I didn’t taste the tequila until it had aerated for 30 minutes to allow the initially strong alcohol hit to dissipate.  This needs to aerate. On the palate, there was distinct sweet cooked agave and baking spices backed by a muscular kick of pepper and a closing of oak tannins, anise/vegetal notes, and barrel spice that collectively left a slight bitterness after swallowing a sip.  This bitterness, however, was not overwhelming because it mixed well with the pepper and the agave sweetness.  There was an alcohol heat sensation left on the tongue, in the throat, and in the upper chest after swallowing a sip.  The mouthfeel was good and the tequila coated the mouth quite well with a nice oily/buttery creaminess.  The finish was fairly short, with the exception of some lingering pepper, spice, and slight bitterness.  There was a nice agave sweetness that mixed well with the pepperiness and heat.  The overall flavor profile made me want to continue going back for another sip and, after the glass was empty, another pour. On subsequent tastings, the last of which was on 8 October, did not involve resting the reposado in the Riedel flute glass.  On the nose, there was still a noticeable hit of alcohol, but it was significantly less than when the bottle was first opened.  There was aromas of cooked agave & sweet baking spices and a fruity citrus note mixed with honey (which seemed now to be like honeyed lemon).  There are some hints of caramel and vanilla, which become stronger after swirling.  On the palate, the flavor profile on the palate remained largely the same as on the first and subsequent pours with the one major exception that a good amount of the initial alcohol aroma was gone (though not entirely by any means).  There were flavors of cooked agave and baking spices, fruity citrus sweetness, caramel, vanilla, a vegetal/anise-like hit of bitterness on the back palate, and discernible oak influence.  After swallowing a sip, a peppery heat remained on the tongue.  The tequila coated the mouth briefly well with a shortish finish.  The flavors that remained on the palate the longest, as during past tastings, were the pepper and alcohol heat, some oak tannins and barrel spice, as well as that slight anise bitterness.  It is a pleasant reposado sipper at a good budget price. It isn’t the best, but is good for its price point.
