This was a very nice find. Cooked agave, fruit, very light wood with a long finish

1st release that was debuted in Los Angeles in 2000. One of my absolute favorite repos. Unique profile from this 100+ year old now defunct distillery. One of the most floral and freshly herbal repos on both the nose and palate. Very green, vegetal, mint, agave of course, mineral, lime zest, blueberries, ocean air, pepper, so clean and light, yet rich and complex. Another true sought after discontinued treasure.

Super light straw color, agave and light caramel sweet and buttery. Baking spices, light tannins and white pepper kick. Nice finish and well balanced.

As with the Blanco, I was expecting more out of this one. Nothing to love here.

The strong pepper aroma from the blanco is nearly non-existent and replaced by vanilla, pineapple, and sweet spice (clove, nutmeg...). The flavor is a big change from the aroma - big agave and black pepper are dominant with just a hint of sweet vanilla. The finish is moderate and smooth. Definitely a good one.

Aroma: Pepper is the overwhelming note here. Stronger than in the blanco. There's also a subtle hint of caramel. Flavor: It pretty much goes right in line with the aroma. Big bold pepper flavor with a subtle hint of caramel. There may also be a hint of cinnamon. Finish: The finish is nice but not quite as good as the blanco. It definitely has a long finish but it's pretty mild.

This isn't being made anymore, sadly. If you find a bottle, grab it. You won't be disappointed.

Penca Azul is a light repo that has a complex nose of cooked agave and fruit, with a touch of spice and wood notes. But the taste is much more herbacious with subtle notes of chocolate covered cherries. The finish is quite long - yet light, and ends with a nice dry earth note. While I am really fond of the entire Penca Azul line, the big knock on this tequila is the $100 price tag.

We had high hopes for Penca! But there is no time to enjoy the flavor before the finish skips the line and brings a speaker blaring rap music.

This Repos is one of my favorite reposados in the $50-$90 range Tasted on 05-16-13 Nose: initial hints of walnutmeg at the same time, I know weird combination....after the second smell I can pick up the agave roasted. Taste: fresh cooked agave with the taste of wood that resembles those walnut pecanish hints of smell, but just enough for the taste of agave to be fully present from the beginning to the end. Finish: medium finish with mild alcohol burn in the back of the tounge with oaky flavor. Overall, this Tequila is well rounded and balanced from agave flavor to oak taste at the end. I would recommend this reposado any given to Sunday.

Review #244 - Penca Azul Tequila Reposado

After spending some time drinking some lower quality tequilas, I was glad to pour myself a glass of Penca Azul. Right from the nose, you can tell the quality that goes into making a craft tequila like this.
