Tasted at San Diego Tequila and Cuisine event
I didn't love it. I love the history and story but I'm more happy sipping the regular Reposado. Soft on the nose and palate with minimal barrel notes coming through. Little bit of sweetness on the finish
Starts with a complex and beautiful medley of dried fruits, in particular figs, apricots, mangos, and banana, as well as cooked agave. The flavor is light caramel coupled with honey, with continuing notes of dried fruit and agave. On the finish, a delicious burst of agave and dried fruit, with vanilla and cinnamon. An elite class tequila.
Wow! A delicious pour. Sweet, chocolate, coffee flavor is what I get. But the finish is all agave. It’s so good.
Otherworldly flavor on first impression. I will have to dive deeper to determine what I'm tasting. I've never experienced it before.
Definitely sweater than the anjeo. Barrel oak, slight caramel, agave, and fruit (like wine).
Agave, Apple, honey, vanilla, oak. Great legs. No additives. 6 years in massive oak tank so large it can’t legally be called an extra añejo, and also imparts less oak than other XAs. This one is lighter in color than their Añejos but aged much longer.
Aroma: I get dried fruit and citrus- orange and lemon off the bat. A pop of melon that quickly fades behind vanilla, butterscotch, oak and cooked agave. Flavor: I get orange and stewed fruit. I get a nice bite of alcohol that gives a nice heat and tingle. Oak. Cooked and fresh agave toward the back end and a little brighter fruit flavor. Candied orange and lemon. There’s a hint of smoke. I don’t get the same baking spice that I got in the aroma. Finish: nice. Citrusy and tangy. Leave a little tingle and numbness. It’s got a bit of bitterness on the back end and through the finish. Overall: amazing. I get a little something different every time I drink it. Lots of layers and complexity. I sill pick up agave despite its 5 yrs in a barrel. It’s fruity and tangy and citrusy, which I really like as opposed to leaning toward more whiskey flavors. Savor it. This is a really great expression.
Excellent "Reposado". By all intents and purposes, this being aged for 6 years as an XA in giant barrels aka pipones. it retains lots of agave then takes off from there. Citrus, figs, candy apple, cinnamon, pear, minerals, maybe even some lavender? Very floral. Interesting... A bit pricey. but I grabbed it for 89 with a quickie subscription to a service when it was 1st released as several of us did. Great score !
Pumpkin/gourd/mineral aroma. Earthy. Taste of peppery mint, agave, and light oak. The burn that the Blanco has is tamed and subdued perfectly by the pipones. Best suited for me as a fall sipper but this, my first bottle, won't make it past June. After a day or so it opens up beautifully and maple starts to peek through and joins the medley. I want to shout about it to friends but then I know if I do, they'll want to try it and I'm not sharing this one. :o)
This Reposado is truly rare. It’s aged for 6 years but can’t be called an XA because it was aged in a vessel larger than 600 liters. The age shows in the mellowing and complexity of the spirit. I smell cooked agave and caramel, natural vanilla, dark fruits and hints of floral notes. I taste the sweet cooked agave and butterscotch. Hints of pepper and spice. The finish is nice and long. I love this tequila and I’m appreciative of companies willing to experiment and create unique rare tequilas. It ain’t cheap but it’s worth it! Salud Amigos!
Nose: Soft spicing wrapped around silky agave aromas. Cocoa, vanilla, and leather. A hint of spearmint. Some dough like notes. Trace cedar scent and a touch of sweet cider on the nose. Multifaceted nose. Flavors: A slight perfume/floral note accompanies the subtle fruitiness. Subdued spice and pepper heat. The vanilla and leather carry through from the aroma. Tasting this is more like a series of sensations, rather than the normal attempt at identifying individual elements. You ride pillowy clouds from one layer of impressions, that transitions to another layer of sensations, that seamlessly blends into the next... Finishes with all the finesses of a finely tuned symphony of strings and woodwinds. But sometimes I enjoy the crash of cymbals and some drama.
This would be XA if it was aged in smaller barrels, fresh cooked agave flavors with beautiful notes of caramel, vanilla, a little spice, smoother than smooth. Perfectly balanced. Hard pressed to find a better tasting tequila
This was presented by Clayton Sczcech of Experience Agave and Tony Salles of El Tequileño at a venue in Seattle. Aroma was amazing but the flavor and mouthfeel are what set this apart from most other reposados today. Aged for 6 years in a 25,000 L pipon this has such a rich taste I wonder why more don't commit to producing in this manner. Agave, oak but not excessive due to the minimal contact with wood in such a large vessel even after 6 years. Finish is spice and agave with minimal alcohol. Nice to have this in the USA.
Tons of agave off the nose, hard to believe this spent 6 years in oak! So light and smooth considering aging time and pedigree, it retains agave foundation but has some unexpected fresh fruit notes on the back end. The ending is fucking delightful, takes a long time to drift away and the agave comes back around to say goodbye. An excellent extra Añejo(Reposado)!
This is just like the great Tequileño Reposado, but with more depth and complexity in both aroma and flavor because of the time it spent on wood. It spent 6 years in a large pipon. Pretty cool idea!
Pricey but it was worth having.
I bought this purely because of my love for their anejo. It doesn’t live up to its massive price tag. Great nose but the taste didn’t do it for me. Finish was medium to long.
caramel, citrusy yes…. recommend
Personally, I think it is overpriced. don't get me wrong tho, it's an amazing tequila overall.
Similar to Don Pilar extra anejo, but more peppery and not quite as smooth. complex with vanilla and oak. Amazing for what I'm told is a reposado. Aged 6 years! I'd still put it in the class of top favorites. $180 at Old Town 10'23
Smooth, lots of spice.
Got this as a gift before my wedding day. maple syrup. oak and cherry notes immediately. Drinks like an anejo/extra anejo. great for sipping.
