Great juice! Really holds the essence of the Agave. Great sipper. Will buy again. update...as I get my hand on other tequilas, my palate and olfactory senses tend to come alive more and more...like reading novels or screening films. I still really enjoy this tequila. I am going to try the Plata next. Still holds well with notes of pepper, citrus, and slight earthiness. the kicker is that it is such a bargain.

Based on my experience with this one, this Reposado is a total bargain. Very light caramel on the nose, very clean on the pallet with hints of cucumber and agave. This is a gentle tequila that is not overpowered by alcohol flavor. I’ve had several bottles now and I have found it to be very consistent. My guess is that there are no additives in this one though the bottle does not state this and I don’t believe TM has tested it yet. I would say Azteca Azul’s Reposado is a poor man’s Tequila Ocho and I say this as a compliment as the latter may be the best Reposado I’ve tasted to date.

Vanilla and caramel smell Vanilla flavor on the taste but still smooth

Nose is consistent with Blanco, oaky for Reposado & tannins. dry finish.

This is from previous ? NOM 1610 , 750ml , 1 LOTE 002 , 06/05/20 , very pleasant balanced nose of spice & Carmel, butterscotch, agave, pepper, alcohol. Taste is a bit hot , medium length , same flavors as the aromas . Wow all this in a legit budget tequila ? Kudos to all involved . Almost sinful at this low price point . But , the pronounced flavors of Carmel & Butterscotch indicate additives as these are not flavors naturally inherent of reposado tequila.
