Tasted 04/25/15 from a Riedel Tequila Glass.
Appearance: Pale amber clear
Aroma: Mild agave and oak with a slight ginseng scent (earthy wood).
Initial Taste: Very nice flavors of agave, oak, honey and peppery spices all nicely balanced. Very smooth with no alcohol burn.
Body: Light buttery mouth feel and fast tears on glass. The sweet caramel is up front but the agave and oak flavors take over to nicely balance out the overall flavor.
Finish: Nice medium-length smooth and sweet finish of agave, oak and honey. It ends with a nice peppery fade.
Price: RRP: $43.99 (90)
Presentation: Attractively designed bottle and foil label. (92)
This is an excellent reposado for sipping. Nicely aged and balanced flavors without being too sweet. Since there is not a lot of information available on this tequila I also did a side-by-side tasting with El Destilador Reposado, which I reviewed earlier, for comparison. They were very similar but the El Destilador had a nicer aroma and a more flavorful initial taste. I had scored the El Destilador Reposado slightly higher in the previous tasting.
