The aromatic bouquet offers notes of butterscotch, caramel, honey, light ethyl, and oak. Upon tasting, these same flavors emerge, accompanied by a prominent yet non-offensive pepperiness, distinct from that of the Blanco. The presence of candied yam, reminiscent of the Blanco, persists but in a more subdued manner. Notably, the original flavors of the Blanco retain their individuality, now harmoniously complemented by the nuanced barrel-aged influence of oak and whiskey. The gradual finish reveals fading notes of whiskey, almonds, and oak, while the pepperiness, while present, is less pronounced compared to the Blanco, offering a smoother exit.
Clean and crisp. Decent nose with some alcohol present. Light barrel influence with hints of vanilla and baking spices that don’t overpower the agave. A solid, clean repo.
Strong agave aromas, black pepper and alcohol. Oak and cooked agave dominate, smooth finish with no lingering burn. Good supper.
This reminded me of older tequileño, the barrel notes are similar to what older tequileño added. It is sweet and rounded, seems natural to me. I like it but loses some points on value.
Really enjoyed sipping this one, it smelled like natural vanilla ice cream with some oakiness and spices layers. The anise and clove make a great balance on the overall experience. Finish is a resemblance of having some dulces típicos de Mexico
Aroma is ok to good with some agave and cinnamon. The taste is exceptional! There’s an explosion of cinnamon and barrel space. While there’s not much agave going on it’s still very tasty. Finish is good with more cinnamon.
Like this repo. Balance, cooked agave, wood tones, light citrus.
Very lovely sweet, not burn at all very nice. And great price.
Nose: Buttery agave aromas marrying with ripe jammy fruit, cloaked in light clove and nutmeg. Just a hint of alkaline wet soil. Light and subtle butterscotch and vanilla nougat notes add another layer to the balanced essence. All aromas are understated and in harmony. Flavor: A big blast of rich agave, vivacious baking spice, medium pepper and barrel oak, are followed up with vanilla, toffee and silky sweetness on the palate. Balance and discretion are hallmarks of this profile. Finish: Vanilla and leather with receding spice and pepper make for a memorable finish.
Nose is light with fresh cooked agave. Hints of vanilla and caramel. Not brilliant by any means. Very smooth tasting, mildly complex Repo. Agave and caramel turning into a vanilla finish with very mild black pepper holding for a while.
Butterscotch and Caramel up front, and agave on the nose. Cooked Agave and tannins, immediately followed by pepper. Delicate nuance and still robust. A nice heat lingers on the back of the throat. Complex and enjoyable finish.
Butterscotch immediately on the nose, followed by butter and brown surgar and vanilla fudge. On the tongue - agave. Really sweet and roasted agave. A lot of love went into this juice and it shows. Minty and citrusy. This is good on a cold December night or a hot July afternoon.
This might be the best tequila I’ve ever tried, TONS of agave left in the glass and the perfect amount of caramel & baking spice to add those extra layers. Simply brilliant!
Tasted May 2021 Very very soft flavor. Almost tastes watered down. I'll just add this to the margarita I'm ordering next.
Creamy sweet agave combined with the caramel, butterscotch barrel effect makes this an enjoyable, very sippable reposado. Revisiting this and am enjoying it more so bumped the rating. 02032018
Smooth and buttery on the nose. I get strong agave notes mixed with butterscotch and vanilla. The flavor is slight tart upfront. You get hit with cooked agave and mint. There is also something effervescent that I always notice in the entire line. Finished strong and smooth. One of the best reposados around.
Rich aroma of vanilla with a bit of banana and/or pineapple. Very fragrant with the aroma apparent even from across the table. The flavor is a surprise. Despite the sweetness in the aroma, a spicy cinnamon flavor quickly emerges right upfront (a nice continuity from the blanco) but it's smoothed out by a slight vanilla and oak sweetness. The finish is long and warm. Another favorite.
Aromas of pepper, vanilla and cantaloupe.
The aging on this reposado has such a nice light touch that the agave shines through, assisted by the wood of the barrels. I really appreciate the delicate approach to aging here.
Received as a sample from Agave Swappers so I am setting value at 5/10.
In the aroma, cooked agave leads with vanilla and caramel, backed by light oak, butterscotch, and a hint of cinnamon. On the palate, cooked agave stays front and center with vanilla, caramel, and oak. There’s some butterscotch sweetness, light citrus, and a touch of black pepper. The finish is medium length, starting smooth and slightly sweet before a gentle pepper note with light citrus and a hint of cinnamon lingers.
A little disappointing— too gentle on the flavor, a little hot on tongue. Granted, I prefer the flavor and aroma of strong Pena of the blancos but expected a little more here
Aroma- agave bomb, surprisingly light Alcohol, some some vanilla but truthfully did not get much out of Aroma Flavor- BOOM!! Far exceded expectations after the smell. Good agave, vanilla with perfect blend of baking spices. Just enough oak to know there is some age finish- medium but chasing with an orange helps it linger and explode.
maybe the lightest summer tequila I've had. not strong in any one flavor, but peppery, vanilla, & cinnamon. the anejo has even more vanilla flavor, but might be getting to sweet.
Second in the line. Blanco had good and bad aspects. I'm more of a reposado guy anyway...

Nose: Honey, Butterscotch, Oak, Carmel, Agave, Vanilla, Butter, Leather, Toffee. Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied, moderatley thin viscosity Flavor: Cooked Agave, Butter, and Toffee on the palate are very prevalent. Finish: Lots of Butterscotch, Toffee, Some Oak and Cinnamon, Butter. This is on the richer side for a reposado. It drinks more like an Anejo or Extra Anejo.
