Adictivo Tequila Reposado

Gildardo Partida, remember that name, because in a few years, maybe less, you are going to be hearing "why wasn't I drinking his tequila sooner". The very first thing I note is the rich, organic roasted pina heart notes in the nose, the main thing that makes me a fan of Herradura, is very evident in Adictivo. In addition to that sour agave heart there is a sweet and spicy cinnamon blending into the agave base, along with tea, honey and mint notes, this is a nose you won't soon forget. The front is a smooth amalgam of rich honey agave and sweet vanilla sugars. Hey, are you a sweet bourbon fan by any chance? Yes? Well you are gonna love this. While the sugars border on just being cloying, the whole mouth just fades into a vanilla cinnamon treat with slight agave tartness. Just before it goes over the line with all that mead sweetness it stops and says "yes, this is an agave distillate". Finishing with an enjoyable honey fade out. It's very rich to be sure but all those candied sugars are tempered and balanced at a rate to let you enjoy them with out being overwhelming. Adictivo doesn't short change you in design as the bottle is an exemplary display that carry's into the stopper design, with a twisty bottle that reminds me of some bourbon bottle I've seen. Cheers!

I'm not a pro so I can only tell you of my experience.. If you're the tequila shooter type then this is not for you because it's sweet, BUT if you're looking for a tasty sipper then this one has plenty of flavor, enjoyable, and also is not as sweet when sipping. It taste really good.. I can see why it's named Adictivo ♥️

N - 90: Typical reposado fragrance. Nice and sweet. T - 90: Extremely easy drinking. F - 89: Short to medium finish. Taste lingers a bit, very faint alcohol. 89.66/100

I can see how the honey notes may overwhelm some, for me it makes it unique. If you like honey/vanilla do not overlook this one.

Buttery vanilla and caramel, light on the tannins but noticeable. Super good, sweet and refreshing.

Very sweet almost like liqueur. Tasted while eating chicken wings and no heartburn
