Sample at Binnys All Things Agave. The aroma and palate on this blended barrel Reposado was very light, very light agave and the finish was short.

tried at los cabos airport May 2024. beautiful bottle. based on what the sales person told us, this is a similar concept to volcan de mi tierra= blend repo and XA (VdMT is much better than the Patron tho). It was a tiny pour in a small plastic shot glass. it was ok, drinkable, not as complex as i thought it would be, got the oak/whiskey, some sweetness but not horrible. not something in my wheel house, and overpriced in my opinion.

I really wanted to like this one. The aroma started off very nicely. Plenty of tropical fruit, and a hint of roasted agave. Then I tasted it…ridiculously oversweet with none of those delicious tropical flavors from the aroma. It quickly turned bitter as the finish settled in.

Soft and subtle out of the gates, builds up a bit but never really hits the fireworks I was expecting. The roasted agave profile is absent for all but a fleeting moment, par for the course with an aged blend I suppose. 10/10 beautiful packaging from a company that never misses, it’s worth an add to your collection.

Pleasant nose without a ton of fakery. Balanced, fruit and caramel flavors. A little sweet for sure, and certainly gives off an additive vibe. However, if I had to pick between this, 1942, and Clase Azul I think I’d pick this. Will try it blind!

Color is super light, but has the aroma of something much darker. Vanilla and butter with some caramel. Flavor is simple, more vanilla, but somewhat flat. The finish is a slight bit rough and astringent. I know the bottle is tall and pretty, and I’m not exactly the target market for this, but I expected much more considering the pricetag.

Muted nose of light vanilla, oak, slight pitted fruit (peach?). Flavor is light agave and wood notes with a slight astringency (perhaps from the Hungarian oak). Not sweet at all, somewhat oily, with a short finish. Ordered it in a bar so the glassware is not ideal, but it doesn’t have a lot going on. Very light repo blend. At $40 a shot it’s aimed at nightclubs. Put it on ice and it will be a pretty neutral “smooth” drink. Nice that it is not a sugar bomb given the positioning.

Not a sugar bomb like Clase Azul, or 1942, but no real agave notes. A little bland for my palate. Just another pretty tall bottle

Not much nose, some light vanilla and a bit of agave. Some weird notes on the finish ruin this for me. Tasted at Jim Lannon's Blue Agave Cantina. Spend your money on something else.

Very high priced for the end product. Sampled a 50ml bottle for 12.99. Very astringent. Not an easy sipper.

aroma is butterscotch and white grapes flavor is woody and not particular complex but decent.

  • 73 Rating

Aroma: (20) sweet vanilla, caramel & butterscotch. Agave, oak. Taste: (25) caramel, butterscotch, vanilla, oak Finish: (20) quick with a sweet aftertaste. Overall: (73) I’d prefer patron Reposado or Anejo over El Alto. I wouldn’t buy this again. I had the 50ml, but $150 for 750ml is robbery. Value (3) Overly sweet reposado that’s overpriced, so many options to choose from.

Very bright aroma with notes of fresh fruit and agave The flavor is very layered, first getting hit by the agave, then a honey-like flavor, finishing with oak and vanilla The finish is smooth with notes of caramel and a hint of fruit from the aroma It’s hard to justify the cost for the bottle, but I do think it’s worth tasting at least a pour if you get the chance.

Sweet and flowery. Almost on the same level as an añejo. A little spicy on the finish but that turn into butter taste quickly.

  • 74 Rating

Caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, cooked agave, baking spice, light oak. Not something I’d gravitate to, but if nothing else, I’d get a pour.

  • 70 Rating

Too spicy for me. Maybe it falls a little flat??

  • 89 Rating

Delicious Tequila for sure. Aroma and flavour are amazing, nice amount of caramel and slight oak, body is excellent. The star of the show is the finish , it goes on forever! No burn. Loses on value, I paid half price and it is worth it for that but I have to dock it for the insane regular price.

Packaging wonderful, nose promising, taste…..let’s say it’s not my cup of tea. Many much better tequilas for half this price.
