Mijenta Tequila Reposado

Just okay. Dont buy again.

The nose features both herbal and citrusy flavors which are very upfront. I get a distinct hit of lime almost as if I have already bitten into the lime before taking a tequila shot. Not really the sipping type profile I was looking for. Some may find that nose crisp and vibrant, but I found it a bit "frat house." The palate is overwhelming oily black peppercorns. There is a herbaceous, floral note about it that offers a touch of bitterness, almost like dandelion. It isnt a bad sip, but it is such oily peppercorn that I really got none of the buttery, sweeter, oakier, or fruitier flavors that I usually like in a well balanced reposado Finish is the palate continued followed by a drying newer wood taste. I think the finish was unremarkable. It wasnt good or bad,but just kind of there. Overall I was not impressed. After reading some expert reviews I was hyped. I was interested at perhaps buying a bottle. Before that I was able to taste it at a sampling offered by a brand ambassador, and so glad I did before spending on a bottle. This might make a delicious margarita as I think the pepperiness and the citrusy nose would bring a lot to the table. It may also be one to shoot solo or with the neighbor on the deck with a beer chaser. Alone as a sipper? For me it was not. This is a pass for me with plenty of better reposado or anejo tequila around at or under this pricepoint

Neat. Clear, golden straw color. Aroma of agave, butterscotch, vanilla with some oak, green herbs, pineapple, and earth. Taste is nicely balanced and true to nose. Agave, light butterscotch, vanilla, slight milk chocolate, balanced by some dry oak, cinnamon, pepper and herbs. The butterscotch and vanilla run into the long finish more than other tequilas, but also dries out with those oak tannins along with some cinnamon bark and light pepper Unique with its evolution of flavors. When I taste butterscotch, I'm expecting a cloyingly sweet drink, but this actually only starts moderately sweet, but then finishes pretty dry A little pricey, but this is an honest, quality tequila that justifies it

Banana upfront on aroma. Pepper and agave to start w vanilla after taste
