Tequila Mi CAMPO Reposado

Tasting neat. Light straw and strong coating legs in the glass. Nose is lime, mineral stone, salt, smoky agave, vanilla oak, fruit orchard earthy sweet rot, and dry sweet grass. Really wonderful way to start. In the mouth, mineral dust, tart grapes, citrus, and sweet vanilla oak. Light and indistinct. Slight ethanol bloom and white pepper in the back. Not nearly as elegant or complicated as the nose. Finish is dry mineral, turning sour, but is short and gone but for a little lingering white pepper that sits and builds in the mouth. Not a bad reposado, great nose that seems lost on a tequila that is indistinct in flavor(s). More mixer than sipper? Maybe, but won't shine through other strong-flavored ingredients. Great label artwork. So I'll try this some other ways and revisit this initial tasting later.

Neat. Nose is sweet agave, very herbal, pepper, oak, grape must. Uniquely sweet and spicy. Taste starts sweet, agave, caramel, grape, oak, herbs/mint leaves, black pepper, milk chocolate, vanilla, and coffee bean. Finish is wine barrel sweet with light cocoa and a black pepper kick. It would be too sweet and dessert like if not for those herbal and pepper notes that add a lot of interest Mouthfeel is medium and a there is a little ethanol heat, that calms down with a little air time in the glass or as the bottle empties Overall, a unique tequila that shows off wine barrel aging vs the typical bourbon. Very flavorful and try worthy at this price and worth keeping a bottle around for the variety

Love the look of the bottle so I had to pick it up. I think the rest in wine barrels gives it a bit of extra fruit on the nose; the fruit however doesn't really carry over to the palate. The first thing I taste is the spice. I get a big hit of cinnamon. The spiciness makes me salivate; it's not unpleasant. It's followed by a hint of vanilla. The finish is fairly long and the cinnamon really lingers. Very enjoyable neat, but I'm sure it would do well mixed. It's a surefire repeat for me.

When I started drinking tequila. I thought this was good. Through learning and tasting. This tequila is ok. Smells like a s’more and tastes like a graham cracker. Sweet Graham cracker Oak Barrel influence Dessert like Herbal I would not buy a bottle again. And would look for another pour at a bar or someone’s house. Agave is lost. Liquor is thin. Good for a dessert for a newbie. Not a shelfer.

As smoooooth as you can get out of a Reposado under $25. Nose: White chocolate, peaches, white pepper, wild flowers, vanilla and agave. Palate: Vanilla, whipped cream, herbaceousness and a woody caramel. Smooth up front with a pleasing peppery burn on the tail end. Finish: Long and swaps between pleasingly soft and creamy and peppery.

An elegant Agave Spirit by NOM 1137. It has an aromatic birth with notes of agave, wood, herbs & spices; while a rich life added notes of caramel & vanilla, that led to a balanced death of medium length with notes of oak, pepper & chocolate. April 2016 / 2017
