El Mayor is an interesting brand. Great bottle, good distribution, widely varying pricing...and opinions that are all over the map.
This is inexpensive, really inexpensive at an So. CA online retailer so was given + score for value. A single barrel store pick this has an underlying cinnamon note that I'm not much of a fan of in general but it doesn't overwhelm the taste or aroma to the point of being one note. Some agave and spicy wood notes help this reposado show nice flavors and makes for a not uninteresting experience from this brand that has a bit of history in the market. Noticable ethanol brings a fairly long finish to the mouth and tongue with some fading sweetness.
