Neat. Very pale straw color. Aroma is mild agave, with oak and herbal notes. Taste is agave sweet, with bitter herbs, slight vanilla oak, anise, black pepper and a hint of sweet cinnamon. Finish is fairly light with sweet and bitter herbal notes I didn't have the highest expectations, but this was a pleasant surprise. Turns out the budget line of an excellent distillery is still more than serviceable. This is one of the best reposados at this price class. If you enjoy an additive free, honest, lighter reposado with delicate complexity, this might be for you
