Esperanto Reposado

57 SCORE

“The bottle is much better than the nectar inside. Not filtered well. Tons of floaters. We let it gas off a few minutes to reduce the harsh alcohol. Aroma is mild cheap perfume. Taste about the same. Not smooth. Flat finish. The bottle is a big smokescreen for what you don’t get inside. ”

Manik Reposado

89 SCORE

“For those who like tequila in margaritas and/or chug shooters one after the other, Manik will not taste well to that sort of unrefined palate. With it’s buttery aroma and flavor to match, with added hints of warm vanilla cooked agave, any tequila connoisseur will be thrilled to sip this on clean anytime. A great value. ”

“With the aroma of warm vanilla with a light hint of cooked agave, The Bad Stuff sets up the sip with a not too sweet combination of smooth vanilla, caramel with a very slight touch of cooked agave throughout. ”

Hacienda Los Alamos Reposado

87 SCORE

“A very nice tequila for the price. On the nose is buttered popcorn with a hint of warm vanilla. On the palate is lightly cooked agave, butter, vanilla and sweet plum throughout. This one is not harsh and there is no alcohol burn, even at first pour. Breathing for 10 + minutes really brings out the delightful aromas and flavors in this tequila. ”

Avión Reposado

84 SCORE

“Sweet oak with a touch of fruit on the nose. First is sweet oak laced with light buttery vanilla and sweet cherry for the middle and last, kicking off the finale with white pepper. Let sit for at least 10 minutes to allow to breathe and gas off the alcohol to avoid a harsh sip and burn throughout. Would hold up to a medium to full bodied smoke. ”

El Relingo Añejo

89 SCORE

“ Not too overly complex on the nose....like movie theater butter with a little alcohol and vanilla sprinkled in the mix. Taste, well, it’s simply surprising for a low cost tequila. Butter first through last with some peppered vanilla in the middle flowing down to the last. A little plum comes through when allowed to breathe for 15 minutes. Aftertaste of cooked agave brings it home. ”

El Fogonero 9-Year Extra Añejo Reserve

95 SCORE

“Smooth, exquisite aroma and flavor throughout. Nose is warm brown sugar with a spot of black pepper. Taste is warm brown sugar throughout with a black pepper kick at the end. What it lacks in complexity, it makes up for in flavor. Well worth the price of admission. ”

Amor Mío Extra Añejo Ceramic Bottle

92 SCORE

“Two words: Brach’s caramel. Not a complex tequila, but damn tasty. Like retro carnival candy...without the carnies. Deliciously smooth, medium sweetened extra Añejo with a caramel apple finish, leaving those who are lucky enough to sip this one wanting more. ”

Lote Maestro Extra Añejo

55 SCORE

“The first is surprising, to say the least. It tastes like the smell of cheap men’s cologne or aftershave. Aroma is the same as first blast. Middle is the same. Final, finally some relief, leaving the palate with white sugar. Not able to finish the ounce pour. ”

Pasote Extra Añejo

93 SCORE

“Pasote does an excellent job with this extra Añejo. It brings buttery smooth aroma and flavor throughout with subtle hints of vanilla and caramel. Very smooth on the tongue without being overly sweet. ”

Centinela Añejo

88 SCORE

“The nose has a nice vanilla and sweet cream butter mix with a hint of cherry blossom in the background. Although not a particularly sweet tequila, Centinela brings butterscotch to a new level on the palate throughout. Strong honey flavor that is followed by butterscotch the rest of the way through. ”
