Nose: The nose opens with a pretty heavy mix of oak and champagne yeast right away, backed by a tart vinous note that gives it almost a wine like edge. There’s some buttered popcorn and a little salty richness underneath, but the barrel influence stays front and center from the start. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium mouthfeel. Lots of oak and barrel character throughout, with buttered popcorn, salted butter, and more of that tart vinous flavor carrying across the palate. The champagne yeast definitely stands out too, but for me it never really settles into the profile naturally. Everything feels a little separate instead of working together. Finish: The barrel takes over pretty hard on the finish and hangs around longer than I wanted it to. The champagne yeast also doesn’t really sit well with me here and leaves the ending feeling a bit awkward and disconnected. Final Thoughts: This is still clearly a quality, well-made spirit, but the different profiles feel like they fight each other more than complement each other for me. I can appreciate what they were going for, and I honestly love that they keep experimenting and trying different things, even if this particular one didn’t fully come together on my palate.

Tastes great

Lost Lore repo Devils Liquor Sample from Dave Marsh Nose: Barrel notes caramel vanilla sweet Palate: carries through similar to the nose. Sweet barrel spices caramel vanilla even some coconut! Finish: sweet coconut This expression is bold with flavor! If you like aged expressions with lots of natural flavor (sin abocantes!) this one is for you!

This was a really enjoyable reposado with a nice story behind it, having been rested for 8 months in a Buffalo Trace barrel. The bourbon influence shows up in a subtle, complementary way without overpowering the agave. On the nose, cooked agave leads the way, followed by warm cinnamon and black pepper. Vanilla and butterscotch bring a smooth sweetness, while oak adds structure. Citrus and honey give it some brightness and softness, and a light mineral note ties everything together nicely. On the palate, the aromas translate almost one-to-one. Cooked agave stays front and center, supported by cinnamon and black pepper for warmth. Vanilla and butterscotch add richness, while oak keeps it grounded. Citrus and honey bring a gentle sweetness and lift, and the minerality carries through into the finish. Overall, this is a solid, well-made single barrel reposado with a pleasant bourbon-cask influence. An enjoyable pour with good flavor.

Cooked agave, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, apple, pepper, and light nutty. Lost lore profile with buffalo trace influence that compliments it so well!

Olores a agave, caramelo, manzana, miel, canela Sabores a agave, miel, manzana caramelo Este tequila está bien bueno

You get a lot of honey notes on the taste. Great finish from the Buffalo trace barrel, but not too harsh on the back end you still get a little spice on the tongue. It took about two years to finally get this in the result is gold. It gives off a little bit of a different taste than their average reposado but everything from 1414 is always great.

Very good, this and the tahona are my favorite from lost lore. Well balanced taste of agave, sweetness and barrel

I’m comparing it to their Reposado Amburana, which is unfair, that is a special batch. It’s right behind it. The buffalo trace comes out nice. Overall a great Repo.
