Nose- Wet grass, raw agave, rubbing alcohol Palate- Cooked caramel Finish- Sweet… somewhat clean. Overall decent value reposado that has high that would make a good cocktail base.

Aroma : Agave, alcohol, vanilla, cinnamon and oak . Nothing too complex here. Taste : Alcohol and agave with a fair amount of vanilla and oak. Again nothing too complex here. To me it seemed like the notes got "mixed" together or something of the like. It might have something to do with the oddly sweet nature of the vanilla notes. Finish : Finish is somewhat short with a bit of spice and alcohol, with some vanilla notes here as well. This is a pretty basic tequila. Not bad, but it's not something I would drink straight again. I'm sure it would go well in a margarita though.

This is a shot tequila for fun parties at a decent price, but falls short of a sipping tequila under my ratings

Nose: Had a sweetness of honeysuckle, caramel, wood, citrus and berries. Muted agave. Tongue: A little hot. Agave was not the star of the show. Butterscotch, oak, light vanilla, sweetener, pressure-cooked agave. Long, but somewhat artificial finish. With that said, it wasn’t offensive. The price point is fantastic, just not an all-night sipper, for me.

Still quite a bit of bitterness off the hop but the oak treatment seems to have weeded out the sweet agave I love so much! Warm butterscotch finish is nice but I’ll stick with the Blanco.

Nose: Bright agave, fruit and floral notes. Palate: Initially, semi viscous, pepper and sweet agave. Secondary spices, mint and trace almond emerge. Mexican 38%.

Sweet aroma, there is a slight burn on the finish. Definitely a good value tequila that can stand on its own.

It’s not bad per se. It would be good in mixed drinks (or taken as a short) as it has clear agave flavor without the harshness or odd flavors of cheap tequila but it lacks complexity. It’s a borderline sipping tequila. For the price, it’s good but it’s not expensive and I’m more inclined to pay more for something that’s enjoyable instead of just meh. There is a slight oiliness to it that is a tad odd.

Nice floral notes, good spices and barrel char, long finish, excellent value.

Very thin looking in the glass. The only aroma I get is alcohol. Maybe some very subtle wood notes. The mouth is surprisingly oily, especially after it’s behaviour in the glass. The thickness to me is definitely from additives, presumably glycerin? I will not be buying this again. I had to give a score of 1 for finish because there is none. Not joking, none at all. Highly suspect additives in this. EDIT: Trying this bottle again a few weeks later, there is a strong vanilla aroma and flavour, don’t know how I missed it. I did use a single large ice cube this time. It’s no better…

Smells like oak sap or campfire sans smoke. Very good middle of the road quality tequila. Oaky maybe a hint of caramel; little harsh little smooth just right

What a difference from the blanco! So much better. If these are additive flavors, then they used a light touch. Enjoyable

Caramel and vanilla flavour. Finish is alright and medium. The price of this tequila makes it the best cheap tequila (so far) in my opinion.

The repo has a little wood flavor but also still holds more to the blanco profile with the agave/alcohol balance on the nose and palate. I enjoyed the repo neat, but most I know use it as a mixer. Again, flavor and value make it a good step in the right direction of mid-tier tequila in the more mixing range.

Aroma; strong alcohol with a hint of agave Flavor: strong, alcohol with a vanilla aftertaste which was ok but the alcohol is stronger it burned/heat down my throat flushing up to my inner ears Sipping: Not for me. Had it not had such a burning alcohol front experience the balance of the vanilla in the back end would be a more enjoyable experience
