Casamigos Reposado Tequila

For me, back to back celebrity tequilas. The former from The Rock. Now Mr. Clooney’s. Still navigating the tequila waters, but, still, one can discern good and bad, relatively. Of course, I seek the good. Is this one of them? Salted boiled peanuts laced with lime juice and rich Mexican vanilla and butterscotch. All that immediately on the nose. Poking deeper, and some herbs of cilantro and mint provide a refreshing sensation. All crisp, clean and bright. Light in body, almost weightless. It rolls on the palate soft with little to no sharpness. Earthy and vegetal: Pine and celery. Chopped pecans over coconut custard. A white pepper finish with some wood spice with vanilla all warming. Over ice, it holds true to it neat flavors. It becomes quite refreshing. A tequila that definitely meant to be sipped and not mixed. It may even work well with a lite and mild cigar. Or as an after hours sipper. A nice change of pace from the usual whiskey or scotch. Very enjoyable. The best I have had so far. Thanks @PBMichiganWolverine for the generous sample. Kudos Mr. Clooney. [90/100][Tasted: 6/20/20].

Extremely smooth. Tastes of caramel & vanilla. Very nice every day sipper.

Tremendous potential... smooth and consistent

This nose is regular casamigos Blanco with more baking spices, including cinnamon but emphasizing dusty nutmeg. The palate has lots of vanilla with a little bit of caramel, some spices, and some creamy chocolate notes, and a slightly minty finish that has hints of spearmint. It's not too strong and is decently balanced in a hedonistic way, but this less complex than many Reposados. Still, it's tasty, like a not-as-good Don Julio 1942.
