Don Julio Reposado Tequila

Light and bright agave with just a hint of caramel and oak. A little powdered sugar sweetness that unfortunately distracts a bit from the other flavours. A solid choice but not the most interesting. $85 in Ontario.

In many ways, I agree with Distiller's ranking this third among the standard Don Julio tequilas. It doesn't quite have the refreshing peppery kick of the Blanco, nor quite the decadent and sweet complexity of the Anejo. A good, and undoubtedly well-made reposado, but I think the expressions that flank it on either side are superior. Recommended.
