DeLeón Reposado Tequila

Interesting tequila. A lot of barrel spice and pepperiness. Nose: vegetal, cracked peppercorn spice, oak, vanilla. The more time in the glass the more it opens up. It’s a very intriguing nose on a Tequila. Palate: vegetale and even reminds me little of peat funk in a good Islay or Campbeltown malt. Spicy black pepper, clean citrus. Drinks at its proof feeling almost to watered down. Finish: hints of vanilla, barrel spice, and pepper.

The aromas deliver a prominent caramel and roasted agave component with hints of citrus, oak, and floral- almost pollen like characteristic. The flavors showcase roasted agave and citrus peels with touches of oak and pepper. Slight fruity components like banana and raisins are noticeable.

Very light smell of agave. Nice. I like it. First taste kinda harsh burn (sorta make you want make the face) and not overly smooth. Finish is a big sweet surprise as it it very sweet and that sweetness lingers and sticks to your lips. Not bad but not one I probably buy again.

Very impressed with this overall, very smooth and finishes nicely. Great taste of the blue agave which is the most important thing to me. And for the price it really can't be beat.

A classic Tequila, with notes of citrus and clove, among other flavors. Would happily drink again, though not sure I'd seek out this bottle over others in a similar price range.

Color: Light Straw Aroma: Agave, Bell Pepper Taste: Agave, Bell Pepper, Oak,
