Tastes

This is one of the NICEST blends I have tried so far. Usually I am a tequila purist and give up on a brand once it's being "massed produced" (hint: the further in Mexico you go the less stepped on by bottlers it is) This, however, was a happy surprise. Smooth and easy with a hint of a whiskey finish. This is what i imagine is what the Europeans were thinking in 17-18th century Mexico when they stated having the locals make tequila for them.

I am a neat in a snifter taster so for me, DJ has been getting a tad "medicinal" lately. Tequila Don Julio Reposado Double Cask Buchanan's Barrel is quite the sipper's tequila. It's a limited-edition Reposado tequila aged for 8 months in bourbon oak barrels, then finished for 30 days in casks used to make Buchanan's Blended Scotch Whisky. It gives is a nice easy agave, spicy start with peat and chocolate flavors and a really..."rich and complex finish" I read on another site. That nails it I think. I tried it with it with a friend that doesn't drink much and certainly not tequila. We finished the bottle... I am still a Fortaleza Reposado man, but Tequila Don Julio Reposado Double Cask Buchanan's Barrel certainly has my attention. I'll be trying it again very soon.
