Partida Reposado Tequila

Average sipping reposado but prefer others over this one

Agave funk and leather aroma Sweet tequila palate with a smooth wood profile. Not particularly complex, but certainly good overall. Finishes clear and pleasant with little to no burn.

Good but a little overpriced

Oaky and smokey

Now I’m relatively new to tequila, my Grandfather used to tell me you can’t drink it neat why bother. After a memorable experience with Jose, I decided tequila was best enjoyed mixed, kinda like gin LOL. Then a friend of mine said “you know all whiskey isn’t equal, it’s the same with tequila. If you want to sip your tequila you need to up your game a little. You don’t have to break the bank to find a reasonably priced mid shelf sipping tequila.” Challenge accepted. He suggested this... and it’s good - really good. The first thing that strikes you is the color, a clear yellowish golden sparkle in your glass. The nose is a mild chocolatey agave with unripened green fruit. I get a mildly spicy cucumber or pepper with chocolate fudge accentuating some cinnamon smoke in the body, a big cube opens this up nicely. The finish is relatively dry and a bit smoky. Although they use Jack Daniel’s barrels during the aging process it is not overbearing, adds really nice character. I’m a sipper and I’ll be sipping this for a while. Who says you can’t teach an Old Dude new tricks.

Smooth sweetish great nose

Light fruit and honey. A little disappointed as I had higher expectations for this.
