Los Abuelos Reposado : Lot 55-R. (Fortaleza) I bought this bottle while visiting the distillery in Tequila, Mexico. It’s a beautiful property but this is a tequila review so here I go. On the nose I detect a lot of cooked agave, minerals / vegetal and bright citrus notes. The taste is slightly sweet which comes from the used whiskey barrels it’s aged in. The cooked agave is dominant and there are several citrus notes. The finish is long and very smooth. This tequila is well worth the price and perfect to sip on. FYI: This tequila is branded as Fortaleza in the US.
Poured for Lobster Bus 12, I did not get a peek at the Lote # but it was a recent shipment of the latest reposado production.
Lot 12 | Lot 39. Floral nose with baked agave, fruit and cheese. Palate of nuts, spices, agave, pepper and zing. Complex, balanced and excellent.
Lot 07 | Butter, piloncillo and maraschino cherry finish with beautiful oiliness. Omg. So good.
Wow. Lot 7, incredible.
Lot 65. Amazing in every aspect. An easy choice.
lot 106-R purchased at Distillery 2022
love this so much can only find this in Mexico hard to find there with this label. amazing
Lot 116 - bourbon barrels
Lot 12 | Lote 115 in Mexico. Still one of the best all-around tequilas. Fun to find the label Los Abuelos.
Lot 09 | Lots of minerality but very well balanced with a bit of sweetness. Great flavor and finish, good sip and an amazing top shelf margarita. If you can find it at msrp its an amazing value.
Very smooth but the after taste has a good kick.
Very natural
lote 98-R
Lot: 98R Aroma: perfect fills me with happiness Notes: Taste fabulous, cooked agave, pepper, hint of citrus. Excellent tequila for me. Finish: smooth, easy finish, stays light on the palette
One of my favorites
Lote 44-R Light agave on the nose. Very clean! Butter, vanilla, cooked agave, vegetal and pepper on the palate. Nice mouth feel very soft. Hard for me to get but would recommend.
Lot 81-R. Light amber color in the glass with oily legs. Aroma of cooked agave, vanilla and citrus. Flavor of cooked agave and black pepper. Long, pleasant finish.
An exceptional “go-to” tequila for the money. Can have a slightly bitter finish, but a solid contender.
Lote 72R bought at the distillery in December 2019. Just opened this at home. Super delicious. Aroma is great: agave and cinnamon jump out with vanilla notes as well. Taste is where this shines: cooked agave, brown sugar, cinnamon wow! The finish is long and smooth.
My favourite reposado so far, lots of agave flavour still here and all the good things you love from the barrel but not too much.!!! Delish!!!!
my cork top is poor. break pending. looks beautiful. the tequila is quite good however.
Cooked agave on nose and taste. Carmel oak & pine on front. Caramelized butter with nuts & oak. Silky & creamy on the throat.
So disappointing after all the rave reviews here.
Lote 65 - R. Bought from Guillermo’s sister at the Museum. I have to put this up there with my all time favorite repos. Agave forward and just the right amount of natural sweetness of caramel and vanilla. This is what traditional methods will get you. Just amazing.
