Mijenta Tequila Reposado

The nose features both herbal and citrusy flavors which are very upfront. I get a distinct hit of lime almost as if I have already bitten into the lime before taking a tequila shot. Not really the sipping type profile I was looking for. Some may find that nose crisp and vibrant, but I found it a bit "frat house." The palate is overwhelming oily black peppercorns. There is a herbaceous, floral note about it that offers a touch of bitterness, almost like dandelion. It isnt a bad sip, but it is such oily peppercorn that I really got none of the buttery, sweeter, oakier, or fruitier flavors that I usually like in a well balanced reposado Finish is the palate continued followed by a drying newer wood taste. I think the finish was unremarkable. It wasnt good or bad,but just kind of there. Overall I was not impressed. After reading some expert reviews I was hyped. I was interested at perhaps buying a bottle. Before that I was able to taste it at a sampling offered by a brand ambassador, and so glad I did before spending on a bottle. This might make a delicious margarita as I think the pepperiness and the citrusy nose would bring a lot to the table. It may also be one to shoot solo or with the neighbor on the deck with a beer chaser. Alone as a sipper? For me it was not. This is a pass for me with plenty of better reposado or anejo tequila around at or under this pricepoint

Neat. Clear, golden straw color. Aroma of agave, butterscotch, vanilla with some oak, green herbs, pineapple, and earth. Taste is nicely balanced and true to nose. Agave, light butterscotch, vanilla, slight milk chocolate, balanced by some dry oak, cinnamon, pepper and herbs. The butterscotch and vanilla run into the long finish more than other tequilas, but also dries out with those oak tannins along with some cinnamon bark and light pepper Unique with its evolution of flavors. When I taste butterscotch, I'm expecting a cloyingly sweet drink, but this actually only starts moderately sweet, but then finishes pretty dry A little pricey, but this is an honest, quality tequila that justifies it

An elegant, Agave Spirit by Maestra Tequilera Ana María Romero for Mijenta Tequila Nom1499 in Jalisco (Los Altos Southern) crafted in stainless steel, aged up to 6 months in a blend of American white oak, French oak & French acacia casks before being bottled at 40% abv. It has an aromatic birth with notes of cooked agave, fruits, flowers, wood, earth, herbs & spices; while a full & elegant life adds notes of bergamot, banana, vanilla, honey & orange blossoms; that led to a balanced death of medium length with a hint of cocoa, pepper, cinnamon & caramel.

Initially sweet with a dryer pepper finish. This tequila is very smooth with a light body. Some earthy notes with hints of mint. Wood notes are here as well.

A great Reposado, very smooth, lightly sweet but, well balanced, with a long yet clean finish, perhaps a little pricey but, the quality is there.

Absolutely delicious tequila that us so clean and easy to drink. My favorite I have had. Tequila done the right way without additives.
