Definite funk on the nose. I’m not a fan of the aroma. The taste is good with some minerals and light sweetness. The finish has some good black pepper but then is spoiled by the initial funk.
While the Repo is drinkable the nose is full of perfume, barrel notes, and medicinal. The flavor is nice barrel spices, cinnamon, honey, and some vanilla. The finish is short with some spice
The nose is very good with cooked agave, ripe sweet banana, vegetal and fresh cooked peas. The flavor is bitter and taste of dried cooked peas, and very medicinal, un pleasant. Finish is short, with some spice.
Thanks Tom for the taste. Aroma and taste both have a medicinal quality. But overall still ok. Finish is all right but short. Just so so. Rev 11/21 The aging process has covered up the aroma of funk that I got from the Blanco. So that’s an improvement. Otherwise, there’s not much going on with the aroma. The taste is OK with some sweetness and some pepper. I can’t get much agave action. The finish is short and pleasant.
I like the blanco more. The aging and perhaps the particular Cutwater Bourbon barrel used to age adds some bitterness that I don't care for in general in a reposado much less here. Taste is clean though and counts for something. I get bitter oak, barrel char, some agave and a very light mouth feel with not a lot of viscosity. Finish is a bit short and tingly and is tip of the tongue for ethanol and the bitter oak.
