MIJENTA is arguably one of the best modern tequilas available today. This “Gran Reserva” Añejo is no exception and delivers real quality. However, the abysmal price difference between this expression and the Reposado doesn’t really translate into a proportional quantity or complexity improvement. This is a treat, indeed, but the Repasado is already a great choice.

Very solid thanks Zach
