Bottle: ? LG098R Appearance: Pale straw Nose: Cooked agave, alcohol, cider, vinegar, musty, fruity, green apple, medicinal, and acetone…there’s some nice notes, and some not so nice notes Palate: Cooked agave, oak, cinnamon, musty, cider, fruity, green apple, vegetal, hay, ethanol, medicinal, acetone, and black pepper…similar to the nose, but slightly more complex (in both good and bad ways) Finish: Black pepper, ethanol, acetone, and musty…hot and a little caustic with medium viscosity and long duration Overall: I had read that there had been some consistency issues from batch to batch and, judging from some of the other reviews, I must have come up with the short stick with my bottle. There were definitely some nice aspects here and there, but they were wrapped up in a coat of harsh, imbalanced heat that significantly detracted from the overall experience. I will more than likely give this another try in the future and re-evaluate.

Nose: agave / lactic funky/ hint of melon / hint of grapefruit/ spearmint/ tea / nutmeg/ tobacco/ musty / Taste: agave cooked / vanilla/ oak / cinnamon/ caramel/ banana/ melon / lemongrass / tea / spearmint Finish: very light watery mouthfeel/ lingering bitterness and some sweetness/ lactic funky is there for the whole journey/ lactic not overwhelming in anyway, but its there reminding you that you’re not alone…it’s like a very weak bleu cheese asking you to cuddle longer than you have patience for. This reposado may be a good mixer, but the lactic funkiness and the odd tastes, lack of balance, make those tough to choose as a sipper. Overall it had merit, just needs a lot of refinement.

This is a pretty good reposado that is enjoyable to sip. Not complex at all but does have a lot of different subtleties on the nose and palate. A kind of middle of the road reposado. Nose: cooked agave, black pepper, vanilla, caramel, oak, cinnamon, vegetal, some citrus, grass, and minerals. Palate: cooked agave, black pepper, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, oak, herbal, vegetal, and minerals. This is a solid middle of the road reposado with lots of different little subtleties and nuances to it. The finish is short and leaves me wanting a little more.

Nose: Sweet cider agave with a nice touch of oak and vanilla. Flavor: Creamy caramel agave with soft vanilla and oak. The oak settles into the finish well. Fairly sweet. Good mouth feel. Fruity notes, especially pear come through. This is a solid repo with simple but nice flavors. The full creamy mouth feel is a standout. Value is not the best but far from the worst too
