Xolo Repo is aged for a minimum of 3 months in an American oak pipon barrel. The nose is nice. The vegetal agave punches through but it brings some light barrel spices with it. There’s still some sweetness and just a tad of alcohol vapors. The oak pipon gives it some caramel and natural vanilla scents but they are subtle. The cooked agave and vegetal earthiness from the blanco still shine through. Like all Xolo expressions, this Repo comes in a 1 liter bottle and it’s 46% ABV - 92 proof. - Xolo Repo is the type of Reposado that I enjoy the most. The agave is still front and center. The main characteristics of the blanco are still intact but they are slightly muted by some additional flavors. The oak adds some additional sweetness and spices. There’s some cinnamon and light caramel along with a touch of capsaicins. - The finish is sweet and spicy. The agave sweetness and barrels spices linger on the palate with the spice ultimately lasting linger. This is an excellent Highland Reposado! Great job Ernesto!
