Tasted at Sip Tequila Fest I was blown away by this Reposado. I was told this repo was aged in new American oak, as opposed to the standard recycled barrel & the result is fantastic. Although this repo was only aged for 4 months, the new barrel imparted a tremendous amount of flavor. The nose on this repo stole the show. Rich caramel notes, cherry, bright citrus, cooked agave, dried fruits, melon, and butterscotch. On the palate was honey, cooked agave, caramel, barrel spice, and butterscotch. Fantastic

The melon on the aroma reminds me of the good old days of tequila. Love it. Earth, agave, mushroom, sesame and butterscotch are also part of the aroma. With aromas like this, the flavor must be solid, and it is. Vanilla and cinnamon on the palate, with a long cooked agave and subtle oak finish. I’m definitely a fan of this.

Melon and honey aroma, with a hint of licorice- like an old school tequila! Flavor is similar with a slate-like minerality. Retains the rich mouthfeel of the blanco.

Alto Canto comes to us from a single brand NOM, NOM1636, in the Sierra del Tigre mountains (9000 ft elevation) outside of Guadalajara. They use organic agave, mountain spring water, brick ovens, tahona, wild malolactic fermentation in wood vats with fibers, copper stills, and then rested in new American oak barrels. On the nose, I’m getting some dried red fruit on top of baked caramelized agave. There’s a touch of a dry musty barrel note that also presents itself like dry alfalfa. The minerality is present as well as some vanilla and some slight nuttiness. It’s a nice nose for a Reposado. It was aged for 6 months. It seems like the agave sweetness, red fruits, and the barrels notes all hit simultaneously. They are cohesive flavors with some pepper showing up for the finish. The pepper seems like it’s a combination of the white pepper from the blanco and the wood tannins from the barrels. It’s a flavorful Reposado that has a nice sweetness and density of flavors. Overall this is a very flavorful and unique Reposado.

Nose: Fruity entry! Cherries, apples and varied ripe orchard fruits. A sour note, maybe malolactic. In your face agave sweetness. Minerals and earthiness hold their own. Unique profile. Flavor: Fruitiness consistent with aromas, with the addition of dried fruits. Pleasing texture and body. Sufficient pepper and barrel spices to counter balance the prominent sweet notes. A dash of saltiness. A faint vanilla cream roundness creeps in on the finish.

I waited to try this one for my 200 tasting. This tequila proves the traditional process to make tequila does make the difference in taste. Value really helps this score. Un Tequila bonito.

A really cool looking unique bottle definitely set the stage for excitement. And this repo did not disappoint. A lot of agave on the nose with some sweet vanilla coming through as well. Minty, spicy, minerally tastes swirl in to start. Followed by apple, oak and a little orange zest. Got this bottle at HI PROOF liquor, which has amazing deals and they ship for a very reasonable price. Would definitely definitely recommend this bottle for sipping and mixing

When I popped the cork fruit poured out! Aroma: Agave, fruit, apple, vanilla Taste: Agave, fruit, apple, vanilla Finish: medium finish with apple, fruit, Cost $110 at Old Town Tequila nice well body reposado. Price keeps score down.

light golden color. apricot on the nose with cooked agave, very light oak. Taste sweet cooked agave, cantaloupe, mint, and a little black pepper on the finish.

Los aromas de agave sentí como uvas y manzanas y dulce como caramelo y chocolate, baja bien suave sin quemar y dulcesito al final

Definitely not your average tequila. The flavors come in very unique, with the fruitiness, vanilla, and even salt come at the forefront over the agave. Very complex, but if you want something unique, this is a good buy. Let it air out for a bit to really get it's complexity

This tequila is so good. You can taste the same agave notes as the blanco behind the perfect barrel aging.

Candied Orange / tangerine peel Red apple skin / cider press … Candy corn / neco wafers Hint of cinnamon, vanilla Crème brûlée Nutmeg Salted Caramel - lots of it Pie crust Marzipan/biscotti

Very smooth, very subtle flavor, weak finish.
