Clase Azul Tequila Reposado

Coming from a non-tequila type of person, this has to be one of the most interesting and tasty treats I’ve ever come across. The first thing I noticed was that it was “earthy”. In a very good way. Taste is much lighter than the smell, which isn’t really all that heavy, but heavier than the taste. Very nice and pleasurable to sip.

Yeah the hype is real. Getting a soda-ish quality with apple cider on the nose

Opened my eyes to how tasty and dynamic tequila can be. Unfortunately I’m pretty sure they add artificial flavoring

Smooth light flavor

The nose is a lot sweeter than I expected with the vegetal agave sweetness, along with vanilla extract and butterscotch. Vanilla and butterscotch continue on the palate, with notes of spearmint tea and black tea, diet cola (artificial sweetener), and a little wet stone. The finish is fairly short with more vanilla, mint, diet cola, and the faintest wisp of agave. My initial impression is that this could be considered a bourbon-drinker's tequila, but honestly I think there is just too much sweetness here (maybe barrel influence, maybe something else) that overpowers the delicate tequila notes. Personally, I prefer the plata expression.

Smooth and tasty
