This review is from a AMM blind tasting. Aroma: I get some cooked agave up front with a bit of oak, some pepper, cinnamon & spices Flavor: I pretty much get all the same as aromas with the agave upfront but some orange/citrus, fruit, minty and alcohol present. Finish: it's a good very light Reposado, has good aroma and flavor but very short quick finish, nothing complex or off putting. Revisited this and still enjoy this, I would recommend this for a nice easy sipper or for cocktails.

This is a Blind Tasting. I detect a floral / herbal scent and light toasted agave on the nose. The taste is smooth, fruity, citrusy, and earthy finishing with a hint of butterscotch. This is a little harsh as a sipper, but could make an excellent cocktail. I taste a woodyness, maybe oak on the finish?

In the nose- vanilla and alcohol smell. In the palate- vanilla with a touch of citrus/orange. Not too strong. Can taste the barrel. Leaves a fresh taste in your mouth like minty.

Blind tasted in a Glencairn glass with another repo. First taste was after a fresh pour (sitting 1-2 min), then retasted after letting it sit 20 min or so. Overall impressions: Light straw color, medium mouthfeel, pleasant nose with nice rounded roasted agave. Agave forward. Aroma: agave dominant, dill, wet grass. Developed a nice scent of cut wood after sitting 20 min. Taste: sweet agave, vegetal, and herbal, slightly bitter, mild alcohol Finish: consistent and even agave flavor, slight, pleasant alcohol burn

R1. Blind Aroma is ok with some light buttery notes and agave. Taste is rather bland and nothing stands out. Meh. Finish is a little bitter. This is a ok to good ATF. Very light body.

Vanilla is the dominant aroma in the taste rings the vanilla out more and introduces a richness and sweet bread. The mouth feel is lovely and it lingered nicely.

Very light amber in the glass. Seems like it was barely kissed by the barrel. Aroma of cooked agave, oak, black pepper and cinnamon. Flavors of cooked agave, black pepper, oak and vanilla. It has a warm, medium-long finish. Added points for the low price I stumbled across.

This has very light barrel influence. Agave, citrus, pepper, earth followed by alcohol on the nose. The taste has agave and cinnamon, with the earth and pepper there. Finish is minerals and citrus.

Aroma/Taste: The tequila opens with notes of cooked agave, followed by a hint of Parmesan cheese and a touch of yeast. The earthiness is reminiscent of damp soil, and the barrel aging contributes rich oak, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove undertones. Finish: The finish is medium to medium-long, leaving a warm trail of baking spices and a kick of black pepper. A subtle bitterness lingers, adding complexity. Overall: This tequila strikes a harmonious balance between the sweetness of cooked agave and the gentle influence of light barrel aging. It’s perfect for sipping, especially by the firepit on cool evenings.

Smells excellent- like wet stone after a rain storm Clean taste & finish. This would be a great gateway tequila for a blance drinker getting into reposados Very versatile. Subtle hints of tropical fruit, sweet fruits, stone, dirt, and herbacious notes. Touches all corners of taste. I like this one

Eye- clear with a slight tint on yellow Nose-loads of cinnamon, upfront and pure agave sweetness with a slight bit of dark chocolate Taste- cooked agave, barrel spice, slight bit of orange peel, and light pepper. The bitterness from maybe the orange peal stays on the back end and last (subtle).

Clean agave with a subtle palate and soft finish. Tasted with AF 2024 Blind Repo. My lowest scoring tasting. This one did not sit with me.

  • 84 Rating

Blind- Light on the color. Vegetal with some smoke and minerality on the nose. On the palate I get vegetal notes like bell pepper and some minerals.

  • 88 Rating

Some barrel spice and a bit of smoke on the nose. This has a nice suave entry and agave sweetness along with the nosed barrel spice. Medium length finish with some bite on the swallow gives this an uptick on the finish score. Tasted during 2024 AF Reposado Blind

Overall - not very distinctive. Aroma - minerality with raw agave. Flavor - more fruity perhaps grapefruit/oranges but little barrel impression. Finish - "uneventful" . . . no follow thru.

  • 91 Rating

Didn’t get much cooked agave, but is Somewhere in there. Besides that this profile has a good balance of what you expect from a reposado; barrel spice, sweetness (caramel/vanilla), clove, while also showcasing some grass and herbal notes (raw agave) and a minimal alcohol intake Price is just a bit off at $55

  • 85 Rating

I had to let this reposado sit a moment but it does open up with flavor. A little alcohol finish but overall nice flavors. I enjoyed the blanco more. 11/23 update: I changed my rating. This repo has grown on me. It’s very easy sipping. I’ve been using it a lot for cocktails lately and it really shines.
