Much appreciation to Jake Lustig for gifting me this oldie, thanks brotha! The ethyl/alcohol burn and prominence found in the Blanco is equally present in the Reposado, though now accompanied by prominent notes of oak, caramel, and light honey, giving it a somewhat gourmand allure. On the palate, soft whiskey tones meld with oak, delectable caramel, and honey. These are intertwined with cinnamon spice, brown sugar, and a hint of brine. The brisk taste of candied yams, notes of sarsaparilla, and a subtle saccharine maple sweetness add layers of complexity, balanced by a refreshing watery freshness. The finish offers fading citrus, a persistent thread of oak, and grassiness, all intertwined with salivation-inducing freshness and a touch of light honey.

A little light on the nose. Velvety, sweet but not overly, cooked agave, canteloup and floral notes on the body. Much better than newer Espolon.

Real good Reposado. Not the best, but quiet remarkable. Mild, round, tasty. Clear Agave taste. Wonderful Bottle and enjoyable Tequila.
