Casamigos Reposado Tequila

I get agave on the nose and a moderate amount of vanilla. The palate is agave, and vanilla. A lot of vanilla. So much vanilla! The finish is earthier and milder, sand, clay, wet stones. A bit of smokiness, almost mesquite as well as lingering agave. Pleasant from start to finish. My only complaint is I'd prefer a bit higher proof. From drinking whiskey, I've gotten used to 92-100 proof on a lot of my sipping favorites, and coming back to 80 makes the spirit feel a little weak. The mouthfeel is actually a bit oily and it has a lingering smokiness.

Still trying to expand my tequila knowledge, but this is definitely my favorite out of the Casamigos collection. I have purchased this bottle more than any other tequila. As the Distiller tasting notes say, it is very versatile. Due to the quality of the spirit, it makes for a high quality Paloma or original Margarita. However, I prefer to sip this guy on the rocks. Very rich with a nice balance of sweet and spice.

The nose smells strongly of vanilla. The vanilla continues into the palate flowing smoothly with a slight bite at the end.

Disappointing. Over-rated and overpriced. Nose: cotton candy and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Faint agave in the background that’s hard to find.. Mouthfeel: oily and smooth in the beginning, then changes to alcohol bite and pepper Palate: Starts out very fruity and moderate sweet, with little agave character, then this gets blown away by a moderately strong alcoholic bite. Little aftertaste.
