Vessel: Glencairn Nose: Agave Vanilla, Oak, Carmel, Butter, Slight Alcohol Palate: Vanilla, Almond, Alcohol Finish: Carmel, Grass, Oak

Nose a nice on this one. Sweet agave, dried fruit, plum, vanilla, caramel. The taste is agave and alcohol. If you dig deep enough, you can taste a few other flavors.

Nice sweet nose, palate and finish are just ok

* I tried this on a cruise. I have to try this again in a more private setting, because I was far from impressed* The aroma presents notes of citrus, minerality, alcohol, grassiness, minute caramel, a minuscule buttery tone, and floral hints. On the palate, scathing ethyl, black pepper, and orange/lime citrus tones are prominent with a floral undertone. The finish features fading grassiness and a thinning but potent alcohol presence, accompanied by a floral note.

Very light agave, whiskey notes, oak barrel and a hint of caramel. Easy finish but not overly strong in flavors. Less complex than other reposados but not a bad option.

This takes a good Blanco and lightly sweetens the product. A good repo.

tasted summer 2022

Great nose Flat flavor and finish.

Strong aroma of spice, funk, alcohol, and some fruit. The funk reminds me of tequila I’ve had from La Cofradia, kind of musty and earthy. Initial taste starts harsh but mellows. I’ve seen some people detect melon flavors; maybe it’s the power or suggestion but I do get some melon rind—a tad on the bitter side, with a light pepper finish. In all, it’s fine but a bit funky for me. I do appreciate that it’s additive free.

Well made, lightly barrel aged Repo, best of the celeb tequilas out there currently

Aroma: Light and vegetal, with hints of cooked agave and melon. Flavor: A nice, clean minerality, with a very slight sweetness to it. Finish: Cooked agave and black pepper on the finish. Some bite but very pleasant. Overall: A well made, easy to sip tequila that holds it own. Very light in color and on barrel influence.

Mmmmm….. agave, melon , vanilla, pepper. Very light but very good.

Prominent aroma of melon (cantaloupe), flavor of melon, mint, and vanilla. It has a musty finish. Full mouthfeel likely related to the aeration used in the process.

Cantaloupe and vanilla aromas with a rich mouthfeel. Slight barrel funk and spice on the finish. I always appreciate the rare melon aroma!

This is definitely an improvement over the blanco, I think that the light aging smooths out the rough edges of the blanco and makes it a more gentle experience. I appreciate that the barrel influence doesn’t make it so agave isn’t the main note, and there’s nice common barrel notes (cinnamon, oak) to deepen the character a bit more than the blanco. I do think that more complex and well-balanced reposados are available in the price range, though.

The lot/lote (batch) under review is T/R 010624/TV. COLOR: Very light straw yellow AROMA PROFILE: Very earthy, herbal, & vegetal/grassy – Aromas include cooked agave, melon (cantaloupe), green bell & jalapeño peppers (the mesocarp, not the seeds), light caramel & vanilla, tropical fruits (pineapple), Thai basil, anise, citrus (lime) peel, salinity, minerality, & white pepper. PALATE: Super cooked agave sweetness & raw agave muskiness, baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom), vanilla, vegetal (green bell & jalapeño peppers), herbal notes (Thai basil, fresh mint), anise, melon (cantaloupe), caramel, minerality, salinity, & balanced oak/barrel notes – the natural sweetness continues to open up as the bottle aerates but it never loses its vegetal/grassy & earthy core – great balance of flavors. I love the green/vegetal notes in the mix here. MOUTHFEEL: Medium viscosity FINISH: 7 seconds – Finishes with some balanced oak tannins & anise balancing out the natural sweetness.

Good mouth feel. The alcohol overpowers the nose and the taste for me.

On the nose is some agave and butterscotch with a hit of alcohol. The taste is pretty light and not very complex. A touch of agave and vanilla. The finish is very muted but overall it isnt bad.

Nose of agave and Vanilla. Palate of Agave and cinnamon (not peppery) with a light caramel.

Santo Fino Sip Tequila Single Barrel Reposado Aroma: Butter & cooked agave, black pepper. Taste: very balanced fruit & agave. Finish: quick with black pepper & cooked agave. Good Reposado for the price Sip Tequila Black Friday sale $35.

Very subtle aroma. Flavor is mildly sweet with some spice in the finish. Easy to drink.

Delicious vanilla mint flavor and smooth finish. Delicious sipping.

Flavor doesn't match the aroma. Aroma is light and relaxing while the flavor is very strong, peppery, and "in your face".

Slight vanilla aroma with hint of leather, great on the palate e we the a soft light finish, an excellent sippper

floral and citrus aroma. Butterscotch, white pepper, mint, and barrel on the taste. More depth than the Blanco, but not as much as I'd like. Finish continues that pepper adds a rubbing alcohol finish, and I get a light, sweet smokiness. It's not a strong finish, but the mintyness does linger long.
