Nose: A lively mix of agave, pineapple, and grapefruit gives a tropical brightness, lifted by green apple and mint. Oak, vanilla, black pepper, and cinnamon round it out with balance and warmth. Very bright and inviting overall. Palate & Mouthfeel: Thin yet slick in texture. The palate feels more grounded than the nose - cooked agave with caramel and oak at the center, joined by cinnamon, mint, and a touch of earth. Softer and tamer than the aromatics suggest, but still pleasant. Finish: Creamy with sweet agave at the core, fading into plenty of barrel spice that lingers gently. Final Thoughts: The nose is the standout - tropical, bright, and expressive. The palate is more restrained, not overly complex, but straightforward and honest. A no frills reposado that offers excellent value, and one I enjoyed much more than its blanco counterpart.

Heavy yellow citrus aroma, lemon or pineapple perhaps. Fruitiness doesn’t carry over too much to the flavor, maybe a little banana. I get mostly cooked agave with a hint of tobacco/whiskey. $46 at total wine which I’d say is pretty good value for a repo of this quality. Maybe good intro for bourbon drinkers? Very smooth.

Aroma: the nose is pretty mild, but it’s also freshly opened. I get agave, alcohol, maybe some light brine and citrus. Taste: nothing complex, but still enjoyable. I get agave, pepper, lightest bit of mint and lime. Very straightforward flavor profile. Finish: medium length, peppery, nice mouthfeel. Overall: to me, this is a great budget repo. I’d rank it in there with Arette, Suerte, Espolón, and El Tequileno. I paid $42 at TW and think it’s great. The words “summer tequila” come to mind because of its simplicity.

Aroma(21): agave, oak, floral, vanilla, Taste(24): Agave, oak, vanilla, Floral Finish(21): medium finish with vanilla & honey notes Overall(84): $47 from Total Wine. Good Repo for cost, enjoyed sipping & in a Paloma.

Beautiful well balanced tequila with just about right influence of the wood. Cooked agave, some honey, vanilla and caramel notes perfectly balanced with the agave herbal notes. Natural sweetness with a little spicy finish.
