Agave, mineral, earthy, cinnamon, orange—has its own vibe compared to other brands from 1579.

Cooked agave and minerality on the nose….some oak but not overly present black pepper and some hints of floral ….agave on the mouth with minerality …. medium finish

Aroma: Agave, and a sharp note that reminds me of sourdough bread. Palate: Surprisingly sweet agave, and vanilla bean. Butter, minerals, and citrus. White pepper on the finish. Lingering clove or baking spice note. Verdict: Another stunner from 1579, Terralta might just be the best of the bunch for me. For the $42 I paid for this, it’s almost a steal.

This was a Mexico bottle at 38°/76 proof. The lower proof may be why my score was a bit higher than those that rated the American version. It’s delicious at 38°!

I ranked this one pretty high but it hit me just right. Very light tinting on this due to the reuse barrels. The nose is full of cooked agave, baking spice, oak, honey, and a faint earthy floral note that kept my face in my glass over and over. Well water influence I'm sure. On the palate the agave and oak dominate, feeding more baking spice. Black pepper, white pepper, wet earth, citrus, vanilla, and stone fruits are all present. The aging managed to leave plenty of alcohol bite without being a flaw- just enough to know it's not messing around. Medium dry finish. Another banger from EP!

Like this repo from an outstanding NOM. Light, sweet agave and vanilla flavors. Well balanced, true to the spirit

Cooked agave, vanilla, caramel, slight oak on the nose. Some floral notes as it opens up. Cooked agave comes through in the flavor with oak, pepper, a bit of mineral. Finish starts buttery and ends long and spicy. One of my favorite reposados without a doubt!

Tons of agave on the nose, unfortunately the oak exposure has muted the flavour that I love so much. This is still an exceptional tequila and anyone will make anyone smile once they try it!!

Vivacious nose. Ripe full agave notes with floral undertones, sweet spices, ripe peaches, and a touch of pungency. Minerals with a touch of edginess. Flavor: Pepper heat, tons of agave, fruit, vanilla, butterscotch and almond cream. A cider sweetness and light salinity. A big hit of anise. Finish lingers. I could drink this all night. These guys makes outstanding juice!

This was a really well balanced Reposado that has a ton of cooked agave character, a thick and oily mouthfeel and a long finish with a great balance of barrel influence and agave kick. The bottle didn't last long.

I was really excited with the nose but was let down with the body and the finish. Lacks a punch and the finish is surprisingly short and underwhelming.

Mexico version, 38 abv: Wet earth, hint of jalapeño, vanilla nose. Nice mouthfeel and minerality. Naturally sweet -Too easy to drink! This is my regular go-to.

Very spicy and a logical extension of the blanco presentation. Lightly aged with oak elements evident this is an agave explosion in your mouth. Not for everyone, this is a big punchy, in your face repo.

ATX Cocina, Austin $16/1oz shot Great aroma, strong agave notes Lots of pepper and burn in the taste and finish. Also had a spicy guacamole so it could have contributed to the burn. May have to revisit.

This is a damn good reposado . Big Agave the perfect amount of oak that still lets the agave shine through with minerals and a hint of jalapeños skin. Buy it when you find it ! Buy 2 !

Aroma: clean and crisp, agave, earthiness and minerals, citrus/salinity. Very fresh smell. Taste, agave, get more of the cinnamon, pepper and barrel influence in taste, has a long finish and a little bit of a punch. Overall very good. Would prefer to drink this in colder weather to warm you up.

Solid reposado? doesn't stand out in one specific area but very well made

A tasty Reposado, opening with marked notes of cooked agave followed by some fruit and pepper notes. Mineral presence is well balanced with barrel notes, although the latter are minimal. Worth discovering.

Very light barrel Reposado. Sweet aroma super inviting. Agave flavour is well preserved in a mellowed out aged presentation. Finish is super smooth but not long leaves some pepper on the tongue. Incredible viscous mouthfeel

On the nose I get a nice cooked agave with a back drop of oak and a subtle hint of pineapple. At first sip you get a nice cooked agave with a hint of nectarine, as the body develops you start getting some baking spice, faint oak and pink and white pepper. On the finish you still get the cooked agave, pink pepper, baking spice but the subtle nectarine comes back and with some added roasted peanuts, never had that as a note but quite pleasing. Very smooth. Great reposado, aged perfectly where the agave/barrel are beautifully balanced, usually leaning one or the other in other reposados.

Getting cinamon, vanilla, anis y herbal. Oddly smells kind of sweet but does not taste that sweet at all.

Purchased a case of this as it was on sale for a deep discount at a local retailer…and the first bottle only lasted but a few days. Bottles read LT0001R40 2016. Blown away by the flavors and finish on this. Striking deep earth and mineral tones balanced with cooked agave and presence not overwhelmed by the barrel. Lightly colored but certainly a reposado through and through, the tequila is a great example of what soft touches of oak can do. I taste a bold agave married with notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and cinnamon. Leaves the desire for a bit more complexity but is an absolute stellar reposado and stands out for its value in my collection. Will come back to judge against a different lot at a later time!

An excellent balance of flavors: cooked agave, pepper, vanilla, citrus. Maybe my favorite from El Pandillo, and one that I could sip on every day.
