“Nose has a nice balance of savory and sweetness. Leather, oak, date, molasses, roasted nuts, semi sweet chocolate, honey grahams, agave and vanilla. Taste is almost identical to the nose. Add notes of cherry, tobacco, berries, nuymwg and a more intense pepperiness. Mouthfeel is very light. Finish is one the shorter side with nice notes of molasses, rye bread and a hint of vanilla.”

“On the nose I immediately get hit with oak, cola, fruits and butterschotch. Then there are subtle notes of agave, clove, ginger, vanilla, brown sugar, white pepper and walnut. Taste is well balanced. Notes of caramel, oak, vanilla and brown sugar are front and center. The background notes are honey, sweet green tea, barrel spice, agave and black pepper. Mouthfeel is watery but it does coat well. Finish is a bit short with quick notes of honey, oak and butter. The move to 1621 definitely made a great change in this Reposado. ”

“Aromas of black cherry, cocoa, banana, definitely pick up the sherry, oak, agave, leather, flat dr.pepper, wet cardboard, dark dried fruits and white pepper. The nose reminds me of an anejo and is pleasant. I will say you will need to let this breathe/open up. Taste profile is not as complex as the nose but it is rich. Notes of oak, dark chocolate cordial cherry, pepper, bananas foster, vanilla, honey and cinnamon sugar. Mouthfeel is nice but not oily. Medium length finish. it did lose a few points for price.”
