Oro azul repo 1079 Thank you Scott Perry! Amazing old school "bubblegum" profile, tropical fruit, agave, barrel notes
Oro Azul Reposado 1079 “Frosty Bottle” Nose: Bright, with classic agave at the forefront, mingling with a wave of olive brine. Tropical fruit notes arrive alongside citrus, while a subtle vinous nuance adds depth without overwhelming. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium-thin on the tongue, the flavors come forward with gentle balance. Agave and citrus lead, giving way to strawberry licorice and a touch of anise. Finish: Clean and approachable, with spice kept in check. What lingers are the fruity tones that are vivid and slightly reminiscent of strawberry Twizzlers in the best way. Overall Thoughts: This expression exemplifies a trend I’m noticing with early 2000s NOM 1079 releases: a bright, tropical fruit profile paired with a restrained hand on the spice. Distinct and refreshing, it stands out for its balance and personality, offering something playful yet very grounded in every sip.
Tasted this in 2025, the old school bottle was in pristine condition, this blanco was amazing after all these years.
Nice nose and palate. This is traditional tequila
