Clase Azul Tequila Reposado

This is amazing. I usually drink bourbon and scotch but my drinking buddy and I Love sipping this. A little spendy for me so this is a special birthday treat. Smooth with not a lot of burn, tons of floral notes vanilla and an overall feeling of light-ness. Lingers nicely. The bouquet is so floral it’s almost like a perfume but not assaulting.

Well yes, it’s delicious, but curiously I’ve decided for now that I prefer un-barreled tequila over reposado or anejo.

Buttery warm butterscotch vanilla like aromas

Smooth, warm, a bit sweet and dry, some spice, stays for a while. Light color, nice aroma. Good stuff.

This is a great intro to the tequila world and was my first non Cuervo, post college tasting. I’ve learned a lot about tequila since then, including that typical Cuervo isn’t tequila so please if someone tells you they drink tequila don’t associate them with that nonsense. This offering is sweet Carmel, vanilla like most Anejo (aged longer than this Reposado) tequilas. That flavor comes from brief aging and “additives” that make it similar to a bourbon (if you’re using this app you are most certainly familiar with). While I tend to prefer additive free tequilas these days I still proudly feature this in my collection and use it as a gateway drug for my whiskey and bourbon friends.
