On the nose, a touch of vanilla, ethanol and a bit of agave. Something vaguely chemical, not good but not overly offensive. On the palate, very bland. A little sweet but to be honest, it mostly doesn’t taste like much at all. It’s “smooth”, and doesn’t taste like tequila, but rather “tequila flavor”, if that makes sense. I can see why people buy this for shots, but it’s definitely not great.

This rating is for vintage 2000 El Jimador Repo Plenty of agave , not too much oak . Solid sipper . ( pre diffuser )

This was the only tequila available on my plane, so we gave it a shot. Smells like petrol and additives with similar unpleasant taste. Undrinkable, for me. Sad since it was solid back in the day (late 90s, early 2000s).

Pepper and chemical nose. Hot in the mouth. Odd sweetness. No agave presence.

Strong alcohol from start to finish. A little better than blanco but not a sipper for me

This is the 1999 pre-diffuser

Bottled in MAR 1999 this reposado shows why El Jimador was for a time the best selling tequila in Mexico. Too Herradura had to screw this up. Edited the score as there is no way to remove diffuser as a production method in the phone app so liking this and giving it the rating it deserves means raising the overall score for all diffuser product. That isn't going to happen. 02/07/2018

vanilla, spices and small oak hit your nose. no burn and a little smoky. I'm a fan of the taste. it rests easy on the tongue. citrus, pepper, and sweet oak combine into a subtle and gentle taste. the finish is quick and clean.

Ok for a margarita

Hints of wood, vanilla and agave with stronger flavors of alcohol and spice. There is nothing wrong with this tequila. The problem is, there is nothing to bring me back.

One of the better cheaper ones

Eh. Kind of chemically.

Weak aroma. Thin mouthfeel. Not a sipper - margarita-bound…

Good for shots but not a sipper. There’s notes of vanilla and caramel. Wouldn’t recommend but if you’re out and want shots then this would be a decent choice!

Agave, Vanilla, Caramel

Peppery

1999 juice

Nose: caramel, heavy burn, vanilla. Taste: a little oak, pepper, but too medicinal. Mouth-feel is okay, the finish is short and bitter. Not enough agave to note on it's taste profile.

I found it to be a nice aroma, good finish with a slight burn, but nothing bad

amazing aroma, pretty decent taste and good for the price. I would definitely get this again.

Nope. A cheap mixer at best. Gives traditional tequila a bad perception. Diffuser product. Waste of good glass they bottle it in.

An affordable decent mixer

Sugar, Alcohol, Oak, and hint of cinnamon after sipping. Decent choice if you're on a budget or want to mix.

Not much to say this is awful

If you prefer tequilla cocktails that aren't agave forward, this might be the one for you. It disappears into a mixed drink and doesn't really enhance or damage the other elements in the drink, it just....exists, in the back somewhere. For sipping, front notes are too vegetal and the chest heat is too high, especially considering the abv. For the price, it's drinkable (when mixed), especially in Australia where it sits around the same price at Sierra, 142 and Jose Guerrero, it's certainly the better of the 4.
