Lost Lore Tequila Reposado
“2 oz sample. Need to try to verify that it wasn’t one of their many 1 offs and SIB. I think I might still have their stock repo to compare. Regardless it felt like a higher proof. But what was in the glass was outrageously good. Sweet baking spice. Barrel. Tequila. Kinda reminded me of the HP Manuscrito Chp 4”

El Tequileño Reposado Gran Reserva
“Subtle and complex aroma of cooked agave, vanilla, citrus and tobacco. It has a clean and crisp flavor of cooked agave and white pepper. Finish is short-to-medium with a pleasant white pepper finish that dissipates.”
More info →“Nose is bright - floral and fruity! Getting hints of mango, banana, bubble gum, some green notes, like lemongrass, hint of jalapeño, very nice stuff here, bouquet as it opens up wow! First sip is cooked sweet agave and pepper! Bold punch, great oily mouthfeel, silky, not super complex to me but very tasty, proof and heat is there, definitely opens up nice. ”

Yeyo Blanco High Proof
“Appearance Crystal clear and brilliantly transparent, with a clean, bright presentation that showcases the purity of the spirit. Aroma The nose opens with inviting aromas of fresh agave, complemented by distinct mineral notes. A subtle hint of black pepper adds complexity without overpowering the agave character. Palate Exceptionally smooth on the palate, especially for a 96-proof tequila. Cooked agave takes center stage, balanced by a gentle pepper spice that provides depth while allowing the natural sweetness of the agave to shine through. Finish The finish leaves a pleasant, lingering coating on the back of the palate with a slight warmth as it goes down. Despite its higher proof, the alcohol is remarkably well integrated, making for a surprisingly smooth and approachable finish. Overall Impression Yeyo High Proof Blanco is an impressively balanced high-proof tequila that delivers exactly what many agave enthusiasts look for: bold agave character without excessive alcohol heat. The combination of cooked agave, mineral-driven aromas, restrained pepper spice, and an unexpectedly smooth mouthfeel makes it an excellent choice for sipping neat. It offers the added intensity expected from a high-proof expression while remaining refined and easy to enjoy.”

Don Rico Tequila Blanco
“Tasting in a cup not a jarrito or glencairn Aroma: agave, grass, cítrico Paladar: agave, pimienta, cítrico, grama Finish es un poco amargo ”
More info →“I expected this repo to have a lot of the notes of the blanco, but it truly tastes like a different tequila. Not better or worse, just different! This is after my first tasting, letting it sit for roughly 20 minutes in the glass. On the nose: sweet agave, caramel, cinnamon, some earthiness, clove, mint, baking spices, but the agave leads equally On the pallet: the barrel takes center stage but the cooked agave it still there. This is a masterful reposado. Delicious, unique, just one i know I’ll come back to over and over again. Excited to taste it next to the blanco. Update to come. ”

The Lost Explorer Reposado
“Very nice, approachable reposado. Nothing wrong with it but also nothing that sticks out. Sweet but slight barrel/spice forward. I put this on par with offerings like Lost Lore, Siempre or Alma del Jaguar - all solid brands. Would be very happy to drink it if offered, but there are others around the same price point I would rather have.”
