Jay Baer s.b. tropical repo this is my first time trying this expression, and i didnt let it open very long. i will revisit at some point and update if appropriate. Nose - i really like it. It carries the notes from the rum barrel. it's sweet, brown sugar with barrel spices, vanilla and tropical fruit. Palate - follows through with the nose to a degree - brown sugar and barrel spices and a little oak. it's more subtle than the nose, and easy to sip Finish - dry

First sample tasted at MBTF 2024. Poured by Liran Reingold this was aromatic with tons of tropical fruit on the nose and palate as you might expect. I had to hang at the table for a time since there were so many other Yeyo to taste.

Lots of fruit flavor, some mild wood notes not my favorite but very solid repo.

Nose: Bubblegum, Coconut, Almond, Agave, Pineapple, Vanilla Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied Palate: Almond, Vanilla, Coconut Finish: Honey, Almond, Honeysuckle This had a very short finish. I got a decent amount of tropical flavors as expected. Overall, this seems to lack a certain punch and wow factor that the traditional sb Repo had.

Nose: agave sweet (cooked) / caramel/ vanilla/ pineapple/ grapefruit/ coconut/ tea/ nutmeg/ chocolate/ maple/ Taste: agave cooked sweet / vanilla/ cinnamon/ melon/ banana/ coconut/ citrus/ tea / mint / nutmeg/ chocolate/ maple / Finish: sweet agave, fruit flavors and coconut linger on a nice smooth and clean slightly minty finish This reposado has had quite a good time playing with some unique processes and barrels to create an actual tropical flavor inspired expression. It’s very nice.

When I first started moving towards craft/artisanal tequilas, Yéyo made my list early but due to challenges in finding it, it didn’t make my shelf. Then I finally found it and boy am I glad I did. Yeyo just fits me like a glove. When I got the email that Sip Tequila had some SiB Reposados available for pre-order, I jumped on the chance to get them. This is the Tropical, barrel 13. Tasted in a Glencarin. Nose is full of agave and vanilla. Nice and fruity and floral. I am getting some oak and some butterscotch. Hint of banana and pineapple. Taste is pleasant with plenty of agave and vanilla. As you would hope, there is a tropical fruit flavor. Baking spices and a touch of white pepper. I definitely recommend it. Creamy mouthfeel. A touch dry on the finish.

Tropical Barrel #1 Arizona This is an amazing reposado. You definitely get the tropical notes from the rum barrel. This is still very much a tequila as the cooked agave is front and center here. Nose: cooked agave, vanilla, citrus, tropical fruits, pineapple, banana, oak, and butterscotch. Palate: cooked agave, vanilla, citrus, tropical fruits, vegetal, pineapple, banana, and coconut. This is an absolutely amazing sipper with tons of tropical aromas and flavors.

Bright nose with uncooked agave. Unique palate, a little subtle but not bad. It’s definitely different

Tropical #7 - Great Lakes Tequila Club pick with Royal Food & Liquor | Nice floral agave with a touch of vanilla on the nose, very welcoming. Don’t let the “tropical” name fool you, this is a balanced tequila with no one note overpowering. Flavors of cooked agave, vanilla, baking spice, and light fruit. Great tears that cling to the glass. An easy drinker that’s ready for summer!

Tried at SYC bottle share : unique. Ode to any other yeti expression! A bit of funk sweet yellow fruits(mango ,sweet Lemon ) the finish was shot but sweet nose speaks differ language then the palette , would highly recommend

This tequila is fantastic and totally worth it. Cast 4, Bottle 66. Nose: Strong notes of butterscotch. Agave, pineapple, citrus (orange and lemon), and a hint of vanilla. Taste: Orange, pineapple, coconut, butterscotch, and a touch of rum from the barrel. I love this expression!

Very tasty reposado! Being aged in rum barrels, add flavor without overpowering the agave flavor to create a unique complexity

Ufff what a great surprise. Last years barrel #9 from specs tropical barrel was disappointing for me but this year 2024 barrel #7 Great Lakes pick was extraordinary! Very complex profile with added depth from the tropical barrel. Nice raspy finish and burst of flavor.

Canadian Bev Collective import. Cask 9 Nose. White pepper. Saltines. Oak and agave. Mulled wine. (Christmas:) ) Taste. Cooked agave. Cinnamon hearts. Mild oak. White pepper. Dehydrated apples. Nice medium finish with a splash of pepper and dry.

Barrel #4 Tropical Ferment & Still, aroma sweet agave and citrus fruit. On the palate agave, fruit, vegetal, pepper. Let it rest a little and got light butterscotch. Really enjoyed this one.

Much more fruity than the Traditional Edition. This is Tropical Edition Barrel #13 from Sip Tequila. On the nose, I picked up agave with notes of fruit, banana, and some grass. Taste was cooked agave, banana, fruit and some honey.

Cask 2 Bottle 160 didn’t taste too much tropical flavors but it’s smooth and easy sipper.

Barrel 14 tropical

Bottle: Cask 13, Bottle 190, Sip Tequila Pick, YEYOREP2460 CASK 13 124 Appearance: Cornsilk Nose: Cooked agave, oak, butter, minerality, barrel spice, cinnamon, allspice, mint, baking spice, nutmeg, alcohol, citrus, grapefruit, pineapple, tropical fruit, mango, coconut, papaya, black pepper, and molasses…the tropical fruit was definitely there on the back end Palate: Cooked agave, oak, barrel spice, cinnamon, molasses, alcohol, baking spice, butter, minerality, vanilla, black pepper, nutmeg, chocolate, coffee, clove, citrus, coconut, almond, raisin, and tobacco…someone stole the fruit Finish: Barrel spice, cinnamon, oak, raisin, coconut, chocolate, and alcohol…shorter length with a thinner mouthfeel Overall: I think this might be the first time I’ve ever preferred the neck pour. On subsequent samplings, the fruit on the palate/finish vanished and gave way to the aging and barrel notes…which were completely fine, but not what I was hoping for given the “tropical edition” designation. All that being said, this is still very good tequila. I may have to revisit this yet again for a repeat review.

Aroma: crisp and sweet agave, coconut, pepper, tropical fruit Flavor: full agave, coconut, banana, pepper, flowers, apricot Long and warm finish. A unique repo. Fun to get to taste what they’re experimenting with over at Yeyo.

I had barrel 11 (Traditional) and 13 (Tropical) from Sip Tequila. The tasting notes I had for the two barrels are the opposite of what I thought it was going to be. The 11 was creamy, buttery, vanilla, baking spices, and toasted coconut. However,(comma) the traditional barrel gave more earthy, mineral, orange zest, and more agave. I favored the tropical pick for North Carolinas 2 barrels but we are still waiting on it.

tropical barrel #13

Nose : Alcohol , agave , floral , citrus ,lime baking spices Taste : Good mellow agave taste , baking spices , slight banana , slight brown sugar taste left a numbness on the finish . Didn’t get a lot of the “tropical notes” Lost points on value , due to high price for a repo would take other repos priced lower over this . This was the Great Lakes barrel club pick Cask 7 .

Tropical Barrels #2 and 6.
