Casamigos Reposado Tequila

Tasted neat in a Glencairn. Allowed to sit for about 15 minutes before tasting. This liquor pours a clear, very pale brass color. There is good sheeting and prominent legs when swirled. On the nose is an immediate floral agave cactus note, I get some sage and sweetness, along with fresh ground black pepper. There is a slight barrel note, but its harmonious. It's a lovely, clean bouquet. The taste is vegetal in a very good way - fresh, living plants. There is some sweetness, almost an apple juice note, then a waft of menthol. There is a bit of a barrel note that slides over the top of the full flavor profile. Tart quince and bitter almond elements come into play on the back end. There's a nice warmth, it's smooth and really has no harsh bite. This is complex, smooth, and tasty. It's really a superb example of a fine tequila. I'm not a tequila expert, nor am I an unbridled enthusiast. I enjoy a good sipping tequila from time to time as a change of pace from rye, scotch and bourbon. To me, this is a definitive Reposado and it will be in my regular rotation. An outstanding product.

Very smooth. Nice barrel notes. Lot of vanilla in the nose and taste. Digging this one! 1st post on Distiller so new to this spirit tasting game.
