Agave Swappers Blind Round 2: Repo Vessel: Glencairn Nose: Honey, Floral, Oak, Butter Palate: Caramel, Jalapeno, Cream Finish: Honey, Cinnamon, Cherry, Almond

Tough rating for me. I can’t get any aroma off it. I even poured some my hand and used it like aftershave. But still nothing! Taste is quickly barrel before a hint of agave. Finished with some pepper and burned sweetness—lightly bitter.

Tasted at Sip Tequila Fest

Taste like medicine. Not a tequila I like

Packed with flavor. The new oak barrels really create a lot of pop. Fruity. Honey. Smoke. Looooong finish. This repo has so much structure it might actually be a candidate for over ice.

Aroma/Taste – The oak-aged bourbon is unmistakable. This has all the typical notes of barrel aging, vanilla, caramel, leather. Upon first sip, all the baking spices are there, cinnamon, clove, pinch of nutmeg; I also smell pine. While the essence of agave is discernible, it takes a backseat to the robust presence of bourbon. Finish – Herbal and green pepper on the finish. I enjoy a nice, long finish here. This is warm all the way down. Overall – I really enjoyed this tequila. It's a standout choice for introducing bourbon enthusiasts to the nuanced and delightful world of tequila. Though I appreciated its complexity, I wished for a more pronounced presence of agave, rather than it taking a supporting role.

Very smoky with a lovely finish. The sweetness of the agave comes through along with the smokiness which is a unique and favorable combination Nose is wood, some tropical fruit, which is special The finish is excellent

Nose- Slightly sweeter aroma, oak with aromas of caramel. Almost caramel candy like. Palate- Much more oak influence, sweeter, almost like an anejo. Strong caramel/vanilla flavors, cooked agave, baking spices, alcohol presence. Finish- Slightly shorter finish, oak barrel sweetness really carries through, overall woody finish. Notes- Almost Anejo like, slightly harsher, with more alcohol presence, being helped along with a healthy dose of oaky sweetness.

Eye- nice golden color with slow dripping legs Mouthfeel- buttery Nose- cooked agave, deep leather, fruit, caramel, barrel notes and minerality Taste- nice cave, sweetness buttery, pitted fruit, barrel oakiness, with a slight bitterness like orange peel, dark chocolate and butterscotch. This one has a short finish that dissipates quickly.

Nice barrel nose with sweetness and beautiful color in glass. Palate is easy going with a slight heat finish. Nice from start to finish for me. This was a nice relaxing sip. Tasted with AF 2024 Blind Repo. My highest rated tasting.

Nose - Agave, caramel, oak, bourbon, dark fruit, butter Taste - Agave, caramel, oak, honey, bourbon, baking spices, pepper. medium mouth feel Darkest but yellowish.

Despite being a reposado, it has the characteristics of an añejo. Dark colored with an aroma consisting of: slight agave, whiskey, banana, butterscotch. Taste matches the aroma with an oaky touch.

Overall - very nice . . . delicately balanced w/ beautiful hue. Aroma - "full" w/ whiffs of chocolate + cinnamon. Flavor - moderate sweetness but not overpowering. Finish - bit of sweetness but also spice nicely lingers. Balanced well.

Appearance is dark honey. N- honey, agave, fairly floral, vanilla, earth, apple, cherry, dusty oak T- baked agave, light bourbon (oak, vanilla), honey, pineapple, just a hint of jalapeno MF- full bodied F- medium in length and very well balanced

Distillery tasting 80 Blind tasting: 81 Earthy, musty, char barrel/match on the nose—very unique. Got some agave, orange, and whiskey flavor.

Volcán de mi Tierra - Reposado This Reposado is created with 100% Highland (Los Altos) agaves! The tequila is then aged for 135 days, which is just over two months, in new American and European oak. It has a rich nose. I smell the cooked agave, baking spices, orange citrus oil and oak. I taste cooked agave, orange bitters and the caramelized topping from crème brûlée. There is a peppery alcohol tingle on the mid pallete. The flavors linger on the finish due to its nice viscosity. This is a powerful Reposado and it’s one I’d recommend you trying. I’m not accustomed to European oak so I’m getting some notes I’m not used to. Salud!

Complex, well made, addictive free Repo, good mouth feel, slight sweetness with citrus and a little heat. I like this one

Nose: Cooked agave, vanilla, and caramel with light oak and honey. Palate: Smooth with sweet agave, vanilla, caramel, and mild pepper spice. Balanced but leans toward oak influence. Finish: Clean and warm with lingering honey and oak notes. Conclusion: A solid, smooth reposado with nice balance, though a bit overpriced for what you get.

don't get a lot on the nose, drinking out of a rocks glass so may be muted. flavor alot of vanilla and orange, some oak and a little sweet cooked agave. finish is long but not much variance. great tequila for some who doesn't usually like tequila.

In my glass: The color is very golden , much like an Anejo Nose: strong nose, cinnamon, very cooked agave,not a lot of depth in aroma Mouth: Cinnamon, earth, charred oak, little hint of unsweetened cocoa , soft yet bitter on the aftertaste. Not bad I will probably save this for floaters in mixed drinks or with a fruity margarita
