“Not much going on nose wise, agave smell is very faint with more barrel, fruity notes. Palate is better but not exceptional, with a bitter finish. Could be higher rating if the price was lower.”

El Viejito Reposado
“Nose : I get vegetal notes with some lemon lime citrus, very clean Mouth: Nice slick mouth feel, Hits with some nice citrus, pepper, light cooked agave, a little heat in back but subtle, sweet agave. More lemon/lime in the aftertaste. Very easy sipper. This bottle won’t last long at all. Great price at 30 clams Totally worth it”

El Tequileño Still Strength Blanco
“Lot 07-200924 10/18/24 Ngl feel pretty let down here after really loving the reserva añejo and reposado from el teq. Aroma has agave, white pepper and a little minerality but it’s mostly dominated by ethyl. Palette is not too dissimilar. There’s a sort of chlorine/aqua thing going on that got a little better as a went through the bottle but the overall profile and balance just wasn’t my favorite. Also got a little rubber too which I don’t love. Willing to try the base platinum blanco still because of how highly I regard the other el teq products I’ve tried (even the $20 repo which is a great value buy.), but especially for around $50 I was a little disappointed. Would’ve probably worked great as a mixer but I didn’t try anything as I don’t love to mix still strengths due to my belief that they should always be taste best when served neat, otherwise why buy the still strength? ”
More info →“The aromas are juicy. There’s stone fruit, raspberries, hot tamales candy (cinnamon and sweet), buttery caramelized cooked agave, slight tannic note I usually get from a dry red wine and some AO dry barrel spice. There’s excellent depth to the many aromas. I taste the dry barrel spices up front along with cardamom, warm cinnamon and caramelized agave. There’s some nice sweetness from the cooked agave. It’s a dark sweetness like caramelized agave and unfiltered honey. The 94.6 proof helps to deliver a nice aroma and some strength of flavor. The finish is very nice. It’s all the intense flavors that then roll into a spicy vegetal roasted pepper note. ”

Tequila Xoloitzcuintle Reposado
“The underlying quality is there but I feel like there’s soon smoothing out to do. Definitely a bit boozy. That’s understandable at 46%, but I’ve had others at that proof at a similar price point where flavors are more refined and the burn is much less noticeable. ”

Fortaleza Reposado
“Aroma, I had a pleasant nose feel of agave, earth, citrus, vegetal, green olive, and brown sugar or caramel as a finishing note. Palate, on my palate I felt cooked agave, vanilla, oak, pepper, caramel, Barrel spice, brine salt, smoke and my palate was coated with a symphony of flavors. Finish, was medium to long, with caramel, vanilla and pepper lingering on my palate, a warming pepper mouth fill with shades of sweet sea salted caramel finished. Overall, this Reposado lives up to its name with a wonderful Aroma and great flavors, best served neat so you experience the beauty. ”
