Authentico Organic Tequila matures their Reposado for eight months. They age their blanco for six months in American and European oak barrels that have not previously been used to age any other spirits. They then rest that 6 month Reposado for 2 more months in stainless steel. On the nose I’m getting some light scents of cooked agave and some barrel notes. There’s a faint tropical note and a hint of cinnamon. The nose is slightly floral and clean. On the palate I’m getting some cooked agave and spices. The spices are faint cinnamon and dry barrel notes. There’s some black pepper and some natural agave sweetness. Overall this is a nice light Reposado. It has a little bit of agave, spice and sweetness. This is an easy sipper and one I’d recommend to anyone wanting to start sipping tequila neat. It also have a very nice price.
