Have had several bottles of this over the time since this released but never tasted and rated. A bit of alcohol on the nose along with spice elements from the barrel become exactly the same thing in the mouth with a nice medium length finish that fades to slight bitterness. This is a very nice stone ground agave product that is no longer available in the US.

Wow, the first thing I noticed about the Olmeca Tezon Reposado was the aroma. It's a lovely mix of vanilla and milk chocolate-covered raisins, with a subtle hint of bay leaf and caramel. It's really inviting.
Taking a sip, the fresh agave really comes through, followed by a surprising burst of green apple skin. Then, it mellows into a toffee apple sweetness, with creamy vanilla and butterscotch notes. There's a gentle smoky pepper spice, not overpowering at all, mingling beautifully with coffee and chocolate. It's a complex and delicious experience.
The finish is what really impressed me. It lingers, long and fruity – I definitely get pear – with a touch of sweetness and that smoky note returning. What's interesting is how clean and characterful this reposado is. Compared to the blanco version, it's noticeably less peppery and spicy, which makes it incredibly smooth and enjoyable. I'm definitely a fan.
