The initial nose has some light scents of honeysuckle and mint. There’s some underlying cooked agave but it too is a light scent. Once it opens up it has a nice clean floral scent. On first sip I get some sweetness from the cooked agave. It’s on the front of the palate. As the sweetness subsides a pleasant white pepper starts to appear. That pepper and sweetness continue into the finish. The more I sip I start to get some citrus and minerality. This isn’t a dense nor complex blanco but it has a nice approachable flavor at a very affordable price. This tequila is made with only agave, water, and yeast and it’s certified organic. MSRP 37 - 80 proof / 40% ABV.
I let it sit and open and it got better Nose: citrus, pepper, agave, fruit, some mild funk, basil. I'm not getting mint that others speak of. Taste: agave, pepper, some citrus, cinnamon, a little alcohol but no burn Nice Legs, medium warm finish Solid cocktail tequila and could be an approachable sipper for newbies. It's an easy sipper. its not overly complex. not harsh (trying not to say "smooth") I wonder how it would taste without aeration? More complex? Also, what if they made it without column stills? could improve flavor but also could increase the price?!?!
Overall muted, which I’d expect from a cristalino. A little sweet but not too much. Nothing offensive though, like other cristalinos that have to add a bunch back in to cover up the monster they made. This would be a good shooter, but that’s not my style. I’d rather sip the regular Reposado before filtering.
Muted but fresh scent. Mild flavor like the blanco, but a little more balanced with a blend of sweet and spice. Not much barrel influence. Nice legs cling to the glass. I bet this would be a good one for newbies since it’s on the neutral side and easy to drink.
First approach on aroma was minty and slightly medicinal, but it opened up and settled. Flavors of sweet agave, touch of mint, slight bitters, and overall fairly muted. For a price in the upper $30s this could work well in a mixer.
I’m not typically a fan of cristalino, but this one at least isn’t using additives to make it taste sweet. Very subtle nose on this. Tastes slightly sweet with some vanilla and strawberry characteristics. Very fresh and light which is a big improvement over most of the heavy, cloying cristalinos out there. Can see this being very popular among discerning cristalino fans, especially at this price point.
REPO I poured and let it sit and open. It got better as it sat. Nose is mild, some cinamon, caramel, vanilla, a little alcohol, a tiny bit of barrel notes/spice and banana. Palate this is an easy sipper tho not complex, not a lot of agave or barrel influence. Legs are nice, not too thick Finish is medium with a mild spice and a slight bitterness I enjoyed the nose better than the taste. Would like to try it in a cocktail. Price is right.
