Surprisingly, this is relatively easy to sip on. The reason is, there's just not that much going on. Seems very one dimensional and didn't yield many other opinions that "yup, that's a reposado." I taste the barrel and just enough agave for it to be considered a good effort. I have nothing "Bad" to say about this tequila. It's an excellent mixer and could be a satisfactory sipper, unlike the OA blanco.

The aroma is buttery with caramel and agave. Alcohol and brine emanates as well with earthy peppery watery notes. The taste is agave forward with caramel, brine, honey,pepper. A pleasant reposado and worth the price.

I definitely like this more than the blanco, and at $21-25, it’s very well priced imo. The cooked agave is there on nose and palate, that grassiness I get from the blanco is rounded out with a little caramel and oak. Decent as a sipper but very good in a margarita or Paloma.

Earthy tones with smidge of cut grass and raw agave

For this price range about as good as it gets.

Update: by no means top shelf but a great value tequila that I break out to make the heavy hitters last longer. very tasty repo. Great sipper or in margarita

Bought to try and use in barrel aging project. Paid USD27.99 in January 2021. Aroma is somewhat herbal, which is nice, but also has some alcohol, which is not so nice. It reminds me a bit of 1800 from a long time ago. The nose has some nice things going on, but also some undesirable characteristics. First impression is that this is a decent reposado, in that the agave is more present than oak, probably due to use of large casks and/or short aging period. Flavor is inoffensive and subtle, nothing wowing though. This could be sipped, as a result. Oak characteristics are minimal, but round out the harshness (not much) of the blanco. The price is right, but you also get what you pay for.

Aroma : Cooked agave, oak, vanilla. Some pepper and cinnamon here as well. Taste : Some agave presence, caramel, cinnamon, not as much oak as I would expect from the aroma. Some black pepper as well as nutmeg and anise. Finish : Medium length with caramel, cinnamon, and orange flavor. More agave and very light pepper here as well. This doesn't have as much of the "green" flavor the Plata has, something I could do without, but I wish the flavors were more pronounced here.

Good cooked agave aroma. Very good taste and finish. I would buy again.

Really punchy, I would definitely recommend this for making cocktails, it scratches an itch that not many brands do(boozy and agave forward).

Some smokiness there.

Nose: Big agave aromas, earthy cellar notes, finely ground pepper and ripe red fruits. Flavor: Creamy caramel, cinnamon, cloves, anise, pepper and agave.

This is a real bargain Reposado with agave shining through a smooth finish.

Good value, tastes a bit flavoured?

nutty chocolate notes, quick soft burn, easy finish

I don't get why some esteemed fellows tequileros are so lenient with this juice. I could taste the artificial-chemical vanilla sweetness even when mixed in a Jamaica Marg. Not for me, I don't care at what price!

My Guess: 42

Buttered popcorn jelly belly aroma

Aroma: This one is very briny. It almost reminds me a bit of an olive. There is also a hint of oak. Flavor: The flavor is a definite surprise. I was thinking it was going to be a bit salty but ended up being much more peppery. I also get a little hint of oak Finish: The finish is pretty mellow and not too exciting. It falls off pretty quickly.

Lot of spice in the mouth with some tongue numbing. Long finish.

Light Gold , Quick Skinny Legs Vanilla , Sweet Baked Agave , Citrus & Oak Tahona Tastiness Full Flavor Nice Finish.......Solid Tequila & Excellent Value $

This tequila is definitely delivering a bang for the buck. It is priced low enough that it could be used by bars in cocktails, but I can drink this straight with no problem. The aroma isn't bad, but it's not my favorite part of the experience. The flavor is just loaded with sweet delicious caramelized baked agave, and the finish delivers a long and pleasant creamy vanilla treat. I am shocked that they can create this level of tequila at this price.

1st: my only interest is for margaritas. I can't stand crappy margaritas, and I hate spending $12-$20 for a decent margarita when going out. I much prefer to make my own using reposado. I pursued something new after learning about the diffuser juice mess. Like dodging mixto wasn't bad enough! My old Go2 reposado tequila claims on the bottle it was old school oven baked. Long-story short, I have my doubts. So, with my new best friend, TequilaMatchmaker in hand, I hit my fave retailer looking for a suitable replacement. I hoped to find one $20 or less for a 750ml, but didn't know if that was realistic. I looked up every bottle $40 or less, and a few more above that price range. I was shocked how many use new mass production techniques! I decided to try Altos Olmeca Reposado. My store does a lot of rebates. 750s are $16-18 AR, and 1.5L are $25-$28 AR, depending on how many you buy. That is a little more than I have been spending, but not a lot more. My first 1.5L bottle was very well received, so I just bought another. IMHO, it is a great value for making a kick@$$ margarita. I can't speak to sipping or any other straight format. FYI: my current marg recipe is high quality organic mix, booze, and a floater of good mezcal or anejo, drinker's choice. I garnish with lime and orange, fresh, dried, or both. Sometimes I add a small amount of Contreau or Grand Marnier, but not usually.
