Olmeca Altos Reposado Tequila

Dark honey and a little citrus on the nose, but not much other fruit or agave. Mineral on the entry, a little on the herbaceous side, with the agave finally showing up. It then mellows into honey for a brief moment before fading away behind something slightly bitter. Sort of a brassy, peppery quality in the finish. Middle of the road in both flavor an quality.

Came recommended as one of the best value reposados, particularly for cocktail use. Definitely lives up to that. It is a good value bottle. It is attractive, though the screw top is a bit cheesy once you encounter it. Otherwise, it is a real solid performer. Nose: Agave. Fruit. Spicy wood. Palate: Real juicy fresh fruit. Sweet. Pear. Oak. Vanilla. Finish: Really long. Fruit, flamed orange peel. Brine. Verdict: yup: another winner. Works neat. Shines in cocktails. Will buy again.

I don't know tequila yet, but this one tasted good.
