Aroma: very heavy on the bourbon influence. I also get a lot of cherry, cream soda, and vanilla. Flavor: very tame compared to the aroma, not a whole lot going on. There’s a hint of agave sweetness. Some of that bourbon influence appears. There is a slight vegetal undertone. Overall it’s good if a lot of flavor though. Finish: short with a solid burn in my throat and chest. Not something I really enjoyed. There isn’t a balance of agave and barrel that I typically like to see in a reposado. I feel like the barrel adds way too much aroma while not really lending any enjoyable flavor. Considering this is aged in ex cognac and ex bourbon for 7 months, I’d expect a lot more flavor from both barrels.
