This is a light colored Reposado, clear and oily in the glass. The nose is almost all cooked agave I can’t really determine much else. The mouthfeel is slightly oily (not as much as the appearance in the glass, though). The taste is complex, primarily agave, but with hints of a mild pepper (bell pepper?), caramel, & barrel spice. The finish is sharp and long, with an initial burn that mellows over a little time. This is a nice repo, and quite drinkable.

tasted june 2026 cinnamon, citrus (orange peel), apple pie, agave, with a mildly funky nose

I am a fan. Nice cinnamon, oak apple and a little anise! Very good

Paladar Still Strength is a tequila I genuinely enjoy. It opens with bright cooked agave, fresh citrus, and a light herbal note. On the palate, you get a clean burst of pepper, sweet agave, and a nice mineral backbone that keeps it balanced. The finish is warm and lingering without being harsh. A really solid still-strength sipper that delivers authentic character.

my least favorite of the "experimental" line, but even so, it's quite good! NOSE: deep rich, cooked agave, cinnamon, wine forward PALATE: cooked agave cinnamon, nutmeg, deep barrel notes
