On the nose I got coconut almost immediately which is pretty unusual in my experience. It’s there in the flavor as well with vanilla also prominent. Not a memorable finish but nothing bad about it. I’d definitely not turn this one down if offered!

Fair to middle of the road Reposado expression. Not a lot going on here. Some cooked agave, a little artificial sweetness detected. A little flat in the mid palate. Finish your s fair

Nice agave on the nose. Very easy to drink. I may be in the minority on liking this one but I think it's pretty enjoyable and easy to sip

Vegetal, raw agave ..... no barrel or signs of aged flavor .... low key sipper and good for mixing

This is a very interesting tequila. Lots of vanilla cake batter on the nose, some ethanol when you get deep into the glass, some agave and vegetal notes. The flavor is very surprising, I thought it was going to be a vanilla cake bomb but the nose definitely doesn’t fully translate into the tasting. I get raw agave, a touch of vanilla and oak, it’s at a nice sweetness. Lingering is a very interesting spice note, reminiscent of cinnamon or baking spices. All in all, I’m very pleased with this, definitely a highly competent reposado. Something agave lovers can enjoy while also being something interesting to show to a non tequila drinker.

I expected not a lot, and it didn’t disappoint. Unlike others, I’m barely getting anything to identify in the nose. A hint of agave but also a slight funk and maybe an extremely slight touch of sweetness. Not getting any barrel notes. Mouth feel is weird. And the finish... Starts a bit harsh. No sweetness. Then a bit of heat. A blend of black pepper and cinnamon. It ramps up and then calms a bit for a long peppery finish. For cocktails maybe, but sipping, not so much.

Didn’t care for this . Unpleasant plastic/rubber aroma that does dissipate a bit but not totally. Bit of cinnamon as far as flavor but still got a bit of that rubber.... not much of a finish.

La Gritona Reposado is distilled by Melly Cardenas at NOM 1533 in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. This repo is aged for 8 months and then bottled in a hand blown bottle made from recycled Mexican Coke bottles.  The nose is great. It’s full of green vegetal agave, minerals and some slight white pepper. It’s nose is more blanco than reposado but I’m a blanco guy so I love it. I first taste fresh agave and pepper followed by bright citrus and then a pleasant medium finish. It’s a great tequila but it’s missing some of the usual reposado characteristics such as sweetness and slight oak. I’m okay with that. Overall this is a great tequila. ¡Salud!

Nice aroma with agave and oak upfront along with a bit of floral and mint following. Thin, watery mouthfeel with strong cinnamon flavor. Finish is medium-long. This is a nice, easy sipping reposado. No complexity in the flavor - pretty much one-note. One other thing, this one has a unique bottle. Glass bottle shaped like a canteen with raised glass lettering and a flip-top/swing-top stopper. 03-02-2018

Has some bitter notes on entry that hang around mid tongue during a long lasting finish. This has a strong musty cheese presence as it fades to that bitter finish. Interesting as a counterpoint to all the sweet manipulated crap currently in the market.

Plastic bottle on the nose almost masks the cinnamon. Let it rest and the plastic starts to fade and agave, light floral, and sweetness come through. I happen to like natural sweetness in Tequilas and I enjoy the finish it has some spice in it.

There's a plastic like aroma thing that's throwing me off. Slight cinnamon but the plastic smell spoils that. Pine in the aroma too. After a while, when it opens up, the aroma turns to a very strong sour cheese thing. Flavor is also too sweet for me.

Slight defect- plastic smelling, and a rough finish. Updated rating 2023.

I don’t believe it’s additive free. Has flavors and some sweetness.

One of the most overrated additive free tequilas on the market. Yes, it has a cool bottle. Yes, it looks clean. Yes, you will over pay for this. Yes, you can find way better tequilas at this price. Very basic. Vanilla, cooked agave, earth, and citrus on the palate. Nothing special or great about this in my opinion.

Sweet agave, white pepper, oak and nutmeg, dark chocolate, and sea salt. Pretty good, but overpriced. Better options at lower price for good repo

Upon opening the bottle the aroma of the agave comes thru and then it’s followed by citrus notes and the finish is smooth

Strong alcohol smell. Not a lot of flavor profiles in the smell. Maybe citrusy smells. Smooth finish. Goes to the back sides of the tongue on the sip. The taste is strong at front and smooth afterwards of the drink.

Hint of vanilla at end . Not additive free , good value . No more than $$45 for my taste. I like Ocho better

On the nose it smells like watered down bourbon. I taste agave up front but finishes like it smells. If you like bourbon, this may be for you, but I probably won’t drink it again

Wow, this is different but my first thought is refreshing, I’m coming from Mezcal so I never thought the idea of a tequila as being refreshing so I’m surprised. It’s very clear really looks like a Blanco, nice legs on the glass. Nose: cooked agave, citrus, vegetal, bright, refreshing. Palette: light refreshing, very nice mouth feel, a bit of grass, green pepper, citrus, but everything very light in taste, not very complex, clean. Finish is quick, short. I want something more, but this is a nice change. Update: After a few more times, I fell that this reposado is not for me, I’m glad that I bought the 375ml bottle.
