The smell had a bit of lactic that was the unpleasant taste and smell. The taste was also just funky in a bad way. Bad bottle ?

the Cofradia funk is big on the aroma. have a hard time pulling anything else out. could be off-putting to those on the fence with NOM 1137. the flavor opens to cheesy, lactic agave but the pepper (44.5 ABV) cuts in to subdue the funk a bit. wood on the med+ finish. if you have a hard time with Cofradia, this is not going to be a pleasurable sipper for you. this repo is aged 5 months, has nice heat and like the blanco, comes in a 1ltr bottle for $34.99 and has a screw cap

Similar profile as the base blanco. Cooked agave, citrus, funk, light astringent, minerality with new flavor profiles arriving from the 5 month aging process in ex-Jack Daniel’s barrels. Caramel, vanilla, I even got some nuttiness which I was not expecting. For the price, this repo provides a tremendous value proposition.

This tequila is incredibly delicious and the price is amazing. It surprised my wife and I both with the low price point- exceeded my expectations. Aroma- light aroma overall- citrus, butter, very light vanilla, some pepper minerality with some agave, Palate- wow- the taste of this tequila is amazing. Agave forward- pepper- cinnamon- buttery creamy vanilla with an earthiness wet grass coating throughout. Finish- perfect finish- complex with an oakiness and agave evolving throughout that ends very clean with slight numbing. Three to five minutes later and I still have agave and an oakiness still lingering- very nice.

In the nose better than in mouth. The issue for me is that the alcohol taste was too strong for a reposado, especially at this price. This, combined with a very strong finish of a bitter orange peel or grapefruit peel did not make it a great sipping tequila for me. However I’d recommend it 5/5 as a mixer or over a healthy amount of ice. Or as good ole fashioned fancy tequila shot with salt and maybe lime or an orange slice. I later had this in a tamarind tequila with a Tajín rim. That’s what it’s perfect for!

Aromas: agave, pepper, caramel Taste: alcohol, pepper, a weird flavor that I can’t describe Finish : is med to long smooth and peppery For me is a mixer not a sipper

Raw & cooked agave, earth, and a bit of smoke in the aromas. Cooked agave, roasted nuts in the taste. Finish with some orange peel and vinegar. Not in a bad taste. It kinda mingles with the rest.
