Reposado Tequila

Category: Reposado Tequila

Date Tasted:
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 40%
Straw yellow color. Aromas and flavors of vanilla, lemon pepper, honey roasted nuts, and coffee ground and banana cream with a round, crisp, dry medium body and a tingling, compelling, medium-length finish with accents of vanilla banana cream pie, honey and pepper, earthiness of leather, coffee, nuts, and or mushrooms but can’t quite place it. Sweet and spicy with some earthiness and fruit; very likable.

Reposado ("rested") Tequila is aged in wooden tanks or casks for a legal minimum period of at least two months, with the better-quality brands spending three to nine months in wood. It can be either 100% agave or mixto. Reposado Tequilas are the best-selling Tequilas in Mexico.
