Really good Repo, oak and booze forward but it all works over the long finish. It’s really nice to see this style of Tequila again, it’s been a minute, bravo.

Nose: agave, mild sweetness
Taste: cooked agave, light caramel, some ethanol, slight oaky-ness
Finish: short, mild sweetness
Value: 1.75 L at Costco - there’s probably better value to be had, but this is likely a decent cocktail spirit - but doesn’t taste fully additive free
Aroma is crisp with no chemical notes. Decent flavor that’s drinkable with a hint of caramel. Finish is complex with mild spice and there’s a bit of a lingering aftertaste. Overall pleasant, but not top notch.

I purchased this as an alternative to my now grossly overpriced Clase Azul Rep which has doubled in price. This Grand Mayan is overpriced for what it is but has a unique finish and flavors that are pleasing but the initial alcohol is a little harsh.
As expected the reposado doesn’t disappoint. Softer on the pallet than the blanco but lacking in the flavors of the 6 year Anejo. Only complaint is the price it’s only 5$ difference to buy the Anejo so why buy the reposado again.
