On the nose the is vanilla, agave sweetness and just a slight hint of oak. On the palate the oak virtually disappears but the sweetness is dominant. There is a bit of stone fruit and a little young tequila alcohol burn. The aftertaste is alcohol forwatd, but not completely uncomfortable. All in all for a 100% agave Tequila from the Jalisco region, this is an enjoyable sipper with good bang for the buck. That being said, it is more a mixing Reposado than sipper.
About this bottle
Exotico Tequila Reposado is made from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the Los Altos region of Jalisco, Mexico. The agaves are steamed for 16 hours in an autoclave oven and then placed in a mill (a "molino") to be crushed. After being distilled twice in a copper pot-still, this expression is then aged six months in white oak barrels previously used to age bourbon. It is bottled at 40% ABV.

this tequila is a budget tequila that can hang with tequilas that cost more and sometimes test better than those as well. for the price and taste it can't be beat. It's definitely not a complex tequila it's pretty domestic but it's smooth and tastes okay. I've had plenty of mid shelf tequilas that don't compare with this.
Really nice. Smooth on the nose and in the mouth. Lime/Citrus. Earned a 2016 Gold medal. A nice floral aftertaste. The marketing description says "vanilla, dry fruit & spices finishing with oak and vanilla, caramel & cinnamon" Ermkay. Whatever. It's good.
Kinda hard to discern but the taste is smooth on the front side, peppery as it is ingested. Has a confusing note of spices. I guess that's why it's named what it is.
Just wow! Did not expect that it can that much tasty... Im a newcomer with tequillas, but definitely need to try more🙂
Nose: cardamom, sugar cookies, spicy Palate: bright lemon and other citrus, sugar cookie, very dry aftertaste
