Agave, caramel, and oak on the nose. Barrel spice and some cinnamon. Then there’s a sweetness that reminds me of French oak but their “premium” uses American, so I’m not sure. There’s a sweet fruity note that is almost like dates. If I was nosing this blind, I’d think it was an añejo. Excellent nose. There’s a bit of Ethanol but it opens up and that disappears entirely. Cooked agave, some vanilla. Not really a lot going on. Definitely a little oak and pepper, possibly the caramel but it’s faint and it could be the nose tricking me. Short finish. Overall Pretty decent. For $25, it’s decent enough as a sipper but I felt the blanco was tastier, the oak is overpowering for me, and I’m not loving it. Still good, but I think Arette reposado is a better budget buy.

Aroma: honey, agave, tropical fruits, spices. Palate: fruits, banana, lime, sweet orange, mango, guava, chamomile, pomegranate. Palate: fruits, spices, agave, nutmeg, ginger, marjoram, sweet flan custard. Finish is short to medium without heat, spicy, and agave. This is a nice tequila for enthusiast and connoisseurs alike. You will enjoy!

38% Mx. version @ $212 pesos... Dynamic nose. Caramel, vanilla, fruit, agave and light spices. Flavor: Nuts, maple syrup, light pepper and peach. Coats the tongue nicely. Impressive at this price point for sure!

Great value, nice caramel nose with vanilla and baked agave, and light pepper. Light bodied flavor corresponding to the aroma. A fairly long finish leaving the palate wet and peppery. In terms of value for quality, I put this in the same class as Muchote or even Tapatio Repo.

Very nice aroma of agave, caramel and a hint of cinnamon & nutmeg. Mild flavor of agave, spice, light pepper. Oily finish on tongue and long, smooth finish. Bargain at $30 from Old Town. Blind rated on 12/31/21 higher than Fortaleza, El Tesoro (single barrel) & Santo Fino so I bumped it up a few points.

Roasted agave, vanilla and floral on the nose. Agave forward on the pallet, white flowers, hints of oak and vanilla. Very slight tannins on the finish. Tannins are short on the finish with agave medium long. Reminds of don julio repo. Great price for this quality of reposado. Producer told me it’s aged 6 months in American oak. The higher rating was due to the value. Very good juice for a really great price.
