This was a dusty bottle of the old juice that came out in 2000 (or earlier? 2000 at the LATEST). It's a whole different scene than what's out today.

Alcohol medicinal astringent fake fruit. This is diffuser tequila

Not great. Mostly alcohol. Weird finish and additives.

Light amber in the glass. Aroma of vanilla that seems added, and a hint of cake batter. Flavor of vanilla, black pepper. There just isn't any agave flavor, Probably due to the diffuser process. Very little finish. This might appeal to a new tequila drinker.

On the nose, a touch of vanilla, ethanol and a bit of agave. Something vaguely chemical, not good but not overly offensive. On the palate, very bland. A little sweet but to be honest, it mostly doesn’t taste like much at all. It’s “smooth”, and doesn’t taste like tequila, but rather “tequila flavor”, if that makes sense. I can see why people buy this for shots, but it’s definitely not great.

Not much to say this is awful

This rating is for vintage 2000 El Jimador Repo Plenty of agave , not too much oak . Solid sipper . ( pre diffuser )

This was the only tequila available on my plane, so we gave it a shot. Smells like petrol and additives with similar unpleasant taste. Undrinkable, for me. Sad since it was solid back in the day (late 90s, early 2000s).

Pepper and chemical nose. Hot in the mouth. Odd sweetness. No agave presence.

Strong alcohol from start to finish. A little better than blanco but not a sipper for me

This is the 1999 pre-diffuser

Bottled in MAR 1999 this reposado shows why El Jimador was for a time the best selling tequila in Mexico. Too Herradura had to screw this up. Edited the score as there is no way to remove diffuser as a production method in the phone app so liking this and giving it the rating it deserves means raising the overall score for all diffuser product. That isn't going to happen. 02/07/2018

vanilla, spices and small oak hit your nose. no burn and a little smoky. I'm a fan of the taste. it rests easy on the tongue. citrus, pepper, and sweet oak combine into a subtle and gentle taste. the finish is quick and clean.

Ok for a margarita

Hints of wood, vanilla and agave with stronger flavors of alcohol and spice. There is nothing wrong with this tequila. The problem is, there is nothing to bring me back.

One of the better cheaper ones

Eh. Kind of chemically.

For the Price ok. I use it for cocktails.

35% reposado. In Mexico at a resort. Only tequila worth drinking. Sadly no G4, Fortaleza, or tapatillo.

Slight vanilla but overwhelming alcohol. Almost no finish other than the alcohol burn.

Tastes like a young whiskey

Cooked agave.

Mix only

Faint rubbing alcohol aroma. Hot pepper burn that lingers. This is a no for me.

Hints of vanilla. Not bad if you want to make cocktails.
