Oak, leather and alcohol on the nose. whiskey, raisin flavor. Strong bitter finish.
tasted blind with 9 other Extra Añejo of various ABV. Gold in color with an intensity approaching #4 for appearance (#4 was Chinaco Negra at $485). Nose is agave, barrel spice. In the mouth this has medium viscosity along with an overall balance as the aging has mellowed the base juice. Cinnamon, agave, some humidor notes, cedar, tobacco and a nice ethanol buzz on the finish.
Tasted blind with AMM: Light apple aroma. Flavors of apple and cinnamon. Thin mouthfeel with a short finish. Extra points for affordability.
This Reposado is entry level decent. It’s sip-able and would make an un offensive cocktail. It’s pretty light on the agave but and I dont taste anything funny either.
Aroma is very faint, I couldn’t really even smell it until having a sip. It’s easy enough to sip but it’s not giving me much of an experience. Top end of fair and I’d recommend it for someone wanting a smooth entry into sipping tequila.

Some 1,700 miles from those Jalisco farms, in the heart of whiskey country, several Nashville entrepreneurs are betting big on the growing demand for craft tequila in the U.S. as the liquor sheds its spring break reputation.
Leather, tobacco and pitted fruit on the nose. Flavor is consistent with the aroma. Strong bitterness on the finish. Is not bad, but overall, non-descrip and not memorable.
