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.
