Tres Agaves Tequila Reposado

Missing the agave taste almost completely, but the ex-bourbon barrel tastes are at the forefront. I doubt I'd spend $35 on it again; I don't want my tequila to taste like my whisky. Might be a decent mixer but I'd rather buy a nice blanco with more of the agave hints. Very sweet, slight vanilla... if I were to put this out for blind tasting with American or Irish whiskys you'd be hard pressed to call this a tequila.

Those bourbon and whiskey barrels really come through nicely. Lots of woodiness. Literally tastes like you took their blanco offering and mixed in a small splash of something like Four Roses or Elijah Craig. It’s got some dark undertones that start revealing themselves more in the long finish, which seems to linger and evolve longer than it should at this price point. Tannins grip the back of the throat long after the well hidden ethanol burn fades. It does have a flaw, though… it’s not El Tesoro, which is lighter, brighter, and better balanced.

Lovey gentle vanilla, and cedar, with pepper and fresh herbs, great pour for the price.

I will buy again

I've had their blanco and really liked it. The reposado is blah.
