An interesting release from Mijenta. I found substantial influence from the barrel on the nose of this Reposado. Barrel spice, cinnamon, clove, light caramel, cooked agave, a floral component, citrus, pepper, and butterscotch. On the palate the spices really take over with cinnamon, and clove being the leading notes for me. The finish was mid range with cooked agave and a bit of vanilla coming through. Although I do like this Reposado, it is not my preferred profile. A bit too much spice for my palate, and lacking some of the sweetness that I’ve enjoyed from Mijenta’s previous releases. Additionally, this new special release continues a trend I’ve found throughout Mijenta’s entire catalog. For me, the aroma on Mijenta’s releases tend to be the best part of the spirit. Meanwhile, the palate doesn’t quite live up to the high benchmark set on the nose.

Not my thing, was really hoping I’d like it. Get a lot of alcohol and like biting wood.

Mild aroma. Very smooth flavor with a long finish that develops lots of spice over time.

Bottle number: 15191

Mijenta Symphony No. 2 carries the bright agave notes of the blanco, but they’re beautifully softened and rounded, making it a perfect nightcap. On the nose, it reminds me of a young Añejo, with fresh agave shining alongside barrel notes and hints of vanilla, toffee, and caramel. The viscosity is excellent, coating the palate with flavors of candied apple, honey, and oak. This one is definitely a winner.

Found this beauty during my trip in Nashville. You get the Agave on the nose along with the barrel notes and hints of vanilla, toffee, and caramel. The viscosity is great and I got the flavors of candied apple, honey, and oak. This one is definitely a winner.

I’ll come back to this but first pour is like an agave espresso martini. All the notes of the blanco expression are there, but rounded out in a unique way. Delightful for a night cap.
