Clase Azul Tequila Reposado

Earthy and pretty smooth. One of the best tequilas on the market. While a little expensive, the flavor warrants the cost. Don't pass this one up if you have the chance.

Smooth, caramel, sweet. Slightly smoky

Wow! Great grassy nose of agave. Tasted neat in a chilled snifter. The nose is pretty amazing with lots of layers. Agave, black pepper, slight wood, notes of desert succulents and flowers. It's really special. Take a sip and.... Holy smokes! On the palate this is shockingly sweet. Not at all what I expected from the nose. The layers of flavor remain, but there's a cloying level of sweetness that tells me this isn't to be mixed. This is a neat drinker - or on the rocks. Very easy to enjoy, but the personality seems quite a ways from "classic" tequila. This is reminiscent of Casamigos Reposado. It almost tastes like a very complex tequiila liquer. It's gulpable, and I think maybe a bit dangerous! What its not is a what I expect in a tequila, though. A very interesting taste, but for me this is a hard pass on buying a bottle. Its just not flexible enough and, for over a C-Note, I'll take a Casamigo Reposado for sipping neat, a Hornito plata for mixing Bloody Maria's, and keep the extra fifty in my wallet. This is a great taste, but it's just too sweet for me to take it seriously.

Fabulous
