Nose is slightly medicinal when first poured but opens up after several minutes in that Chisolm Trail high-proof jarrito, which is my preferred glassware for 45% ABV and above. All the barrels contribute to a melange of aromas carried by the 48% ethanol. Dark pittted fruit, cherry compote or cherries jubilee come to mind. In the mouth this has a very forward spice from the yeast and the high ABV, a medium mouthfeel and some nice flavors from the assorted barrels along with some roast agave, though it is in danger of being overwhelmed by the resting in multiple vessels. Nice lip buzz on the finish rounds out this all too rare high proof Reposado. High proof Blanco dominate releases but Reposado is trying to catch up.
