Nose: Butterscotch, Agave, Vanilla, Fruity and herbal. Mouthfeel: Very light mouthfeel Palate: Alcohol, Vanilla, Melon, Black Pepper Finish: Vanilla, Fruity, Black Pepper Caramel The nose is wonderful, its very powerful and chock full of agave. All the way to the finish, I get that agave in the face. Although I tend to enjoy more mineral and vegetal influenced spirits, this one was very solid. It drank more like a blanco than a reposado. My only critique is that it might have been a little sweet for my palate. Either way, I'm pleasantly surprised!

Nicely done Reposado, really enjoyed this one while on a distillery tour. Classic Reposado that highlights the agave. Not too fancy… just an enjoyable quality tequila that’s easy to keep sipping.

Pleasantly surprised for the money, could be used as a mixer or sipped neat.

Nose: Full agave, ripe fruit, butterscotch, barrel spices, with a hint of mint. Flavor: Caramel, fruit, black pepper with some kick. A chocolate or coffee undercurrent. The flavors are a natural progression from its 42% and 55% blanco siblings. Medium finish, where vanilla makes a last moment appearance. El Viejito is a solid brand making an economical line of tequilas. Not a beginner’s sipper - a bit rustic. A great mixer.

Aroma of cooked agave. On the palate was cooked agave, pepper and caramel. Felt more heat than I expected compared to the blanco.

Lote: TR280716TV, bottled on 17-08-2016. Color: light yellow. Aroma: light vanilla, herbaceous, alcohol sensation is medium high, light raw agave, slightly bitter, medium light body. Palate: vanilla, bitter, almost no agave perceived and there is an unnatural sweetness. Finish is medium to long, light vanilla, bitterness and the unnatural sweetness persist.

I enjoy this one. The nose is great, the flavor is old school, and the finish has a peppery bite that I enjoy. Nice value, classic, tequila with subtle aging that enhances without overpowering.
