Dos Artes Reserva Especial Extra Añejo

90 SCORE

“I loved this at first. It's a sweet heavy vanilla caramel butterscotch delight with hints of agave oak and cinnamon. It's yummy but has an aftificial aspect. I enjoy smelling the aromas just as much as the flavors. It's for you if you like a yummy candy desert like tequila that might seem a bit enhanced in an unnatural way.”

“I prefer the Reposado of this to the Anejo. It's an ok tequila overall but doesn't stand up to most Anejos.”

Corzo Reposado Tequila

65 SCORE

“This one really scores low for me because of the price. At the $25-$30 price point I would recommend but there are much better options at the price. If I were tasting blind it would still score low for a weak aroma, flat taste and just not that interesting overall.”

Cabo Wabo Reposado

80 SCORE

“Sometimes I just want a clean tequila with a light nose and finish and typical flavors. This reposado fits that spot with a bit on the pepper too. Not a top shelf but certainly a decent sipper or would do nicely in a margarita.”

AsomBroso Especial De Rouge Extra Añejo

88 SCORE

“This is the most $$$ Tequila I have tried. I would certainly not hesitate to drink it but the price would keep me from buying. Nice citrus and orange, vanilla, toffee. It goes down fast. A very creative ultra premium offering.”

Asombroso La Rosa 3 Month

78 SCORE

“Very different so that's worth trying. Heavy chocolate and cherry forward flavor and with hints of rose, agave and flowers. The finish turns a touch more spicy in a floral/citrus way. I found the aroma a bit weak but that chocolate really jumps out. ”

Artá Tequila Reposado

71 SCORE

“Good effort but falls short for the price. If it were $10-15 cheaper it'd get a better rating from me. A fine sipper with common notes. Nothing really stood out. There are much better options at the near $50 price.”

Corazon Single Estate Reposado

82 SCORE

“Very surprising reposado. I prefer this to the anejo version which is unusual for my taste. Light on the nose but honey, agave and vanilla stand out with a hint of fruit. The taste is very nice vanilla, caramel, agave and oak. A hint of butter, pepper and spice. A very good value for what this costs. Short finish calls for frequent sips. Great with an ice cube.”

Casa Noble Reposado

82 SCORE

“Nice smooth reposado. Mild aroma with vanilla, agave, oak and chocolate standing out. Just a hint of citrus. Sweet flavors with honey, citrus and chocolate coming out more in the finish. Hint of spice. Nice neat, with a rock or in a margarita.”

Casamigos Tequila Reposado

89 SCORE

“Love this reposado but like the anejo even more. Not the best value for the taste but very drinkable and yummy like a desert with forward caramel, vanilla, agave and oak. Butter, cinnamon and butterscotch linger. Good neat, on ice or even in a margarita. It's a permanent reposado in my bar.”

TC Craft Tequila Reposado

97 SCORE

“This is my new #1. Absolutely amazing if you like yummy sweet tequila. Very buttery, creme brulee, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon and agave stand out. Hints of nut, butterscotch, honey and oak. This one is hard to sip slow because it's just so delicious.”

Maestro Dobel Diamonte

75 SCORE

“A very unusual blend. Very forward agave, alcohol and black pepper on the nose and tongue. This is a spicy alcohol fumes kind of tequila. Some unusual notes in here like gravel and gunpowder but also some crisp citrus and floral hints. It's quite complex if you can get past the alcohol fumes. Definitely unique.”

Corazon Añejo Tequila

75 SCORE

“It's okay. Not a terribly enjoyable sipper over a long time but certainly good for getting down in a hurry. It's not bad just not one I would choose to drink over some time, slowly enjoying the flavors. Typical notes but a bit heavy on the alcohol and wood.”

Siete Leguas Reposado

85 SCORE

“A bit more peppery than most reposados I've had but I like that. Agave, oak, pepper and vanilla stand out with more subtle earthy notes and a hint of citrus. Nice finish. Something about the Tahona Wheel extraction you just have to give respect too. I prefer with an ice cube so I can enjoy the flavors over more time. ”

1800 Reposado

65 SCORE

“Sometimes I just want a harsher tequila than my usual sippers. This delivers that experience but still has a hint of higher class notes. Very alcohol forward on the nose and tongue. Agave, oak and spice up front. I prefer this one with a big ice cube to help bring out the more subtle notes of caramel, cinnamon and vanilla. The alcohol lingers long. It is what it is and you'll love it or hate it. It would be good for a margarita I'm sure.”
