Always trying to stay in good spirits :) I’m searching for the ideal bottles of each spirit for my home bar. This is my opinion on what’s available in Ontario.

  • El Tesoro Reposado Tequila

    Tequila Reposado — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico

    The same sugar sweet bright vegetal agave, lime pith and dry mouthfeel as the blanco but with added caramelization. It’s reaching towards the anejo’s richness but it’s still held back by the blanco’s dryness. Not available in Ontario.

    Sugar sweet bright vegetal agave and lime pith overwhelmed by bone dry mouthfeel. It’s kind of like an super amplified/exploded-view taste profile of Patron Silver, without the chalkiness. It has a decent profile but very dry. Not available in Ontario.

    Light oak, sweet roasted agave and a wonderful smoky depth. Finishing semi dry. The best of the Fortaleza offerings. Not available in Ontario.

    Smooth semi dry agave with light powdered sugar sweetness. Good balance and quality but not a ton of interest compared to the Reposado and Anejo. Not available in Ontario.

    Spicy heather, raw oak and beautiful sherried dark fruit sweetness. At similar quality and at half the price of Tryconnell’s Sherry Cask Finish it’s a good sherried option. $50 in Ontario.

    Fairly smooth with heather honey, sweet stone fruit, and a light soft plume of peat smoke. A little ethanol bite but decent for the price. $84 in Ontario.

    Honey and mild to moderate sherried fruit sweetness enveloped in a puff of peat smoke. Finishes fast. Decent flavour but a bit simple, just a hint astringent. $75 in Ontario.

    Lemon with spicy juniper, light floral softness and the slightest oily background. From its reputation I was expecting more. The spicy juniper overpowers the profile and leaves it kind of astringent. $50 In Ontario.
    50.0 USD per Bottle

  • Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon

    Sweet caramelized/toasted oak, corn, gentle floral rye spice. It’s the perfect middle ground between the simple velvety standard Four Roses and the complex Single Barrel. For the $7 price difference I’d take Single Barrel any day. In comparison (and in general) this comes across as just a bit thin. $48 in Ontario.
    48.0 CAD per Bottle
