The 3X distillation comes from a redistill of Cazadores Añejo tequila and then re-aging for the Reposado and Añejo, is the story I've heard. Post autoclave diffuser product meaning autoclave cooking and then diffuser extraction and it shows in some serious underlying bitterness not from oak or flavorings. Heavy glass bottle and some custom labels highlight the upscale presentation. An envelope on the neck opens to reveal a 4 panel, business card size foldout that opens to reveal info on all 3 expressions. All the money is wasted though as the tequila is as poor as any mainstream juice can be. Sad really. Bottle is from 2009, maybe 2010 or so and is using real cork. Still tastes vibrant, if poor. The things I do to keep up with Craig, wink, wink...
Aroma; vanilla and citrus but lacks agave aroma. Palate: sweet agave, vanilla, floral, herbal, citrus, zest, lime, white pepper. Finish is short and lacks agave, but is fruity and light peppery.
Tastes like additives.
Tasted as counterpoint to all the good tequila at NWAF.
Corzo is made at Bacardi y Compañia, S.A. de C.V. in the Los Altos region of Jalisco, at the same distillery as Cazadores- NOM 1487. Many years ago Cazadores was a good brand, but it's not the same anymore.

Same as the other one but the oak from the longer aging adds a bit of coverup from the Reposado. Nah...
