Azuñia reposado is a really bold and complicated reposado, clean and additive free... and delicious. Great aromas and a rich and balanced taste. It's a steal for the price.
NOM 1426 | 3rd Night: Initially the aroma had a lactic sour milk tone I noted on the first night, which has diminished by the second night. Present is a musty funk typical of some Reposados, along with hints of berry, light vanilla, maple, faint woody tobacco, oak, subtle floral notes, and alcohol. The minerality is less pronounced compared to the Blanco. The taste has an overt spiciness with maple, accompanied by prominent alcohol, medicinal tone, cinnamon powder, whiskey and a subtle coating of brine on the tongue. However, the delightful minerality found in the Blanco is not as outstanding here, and the agave lacks distinction. The dry down reveals oaky sweetness, along with slight metallic notes and alcohol undertones, which are palatable. A lingering tingly pepperiness persists on the back of the palate. *Updated my score from 71 to 79 after letting it sit for a week the taste has become more delectable while the aroma is more satisfactory. *Updated: 79 to 81
