Ok, BY REQUEST *hey @PBMichiganWolverine " I'm doing this review to make a direct comparison to the Aged(Anejo)Casamigos which I've decided is a very nice, almost bourbon like, sweet anejo, let's see how this reposado version stands up to it.
Nose: the vanilla is here but it's a bit less pronounced, maybe offset a bit by the standard sour sweet, salty vegetal that standard distilled agave is known for, which is certainly more pronounced here.
Ok this is salty, hotter and stronger in the base tequila note than the Anejo Casamigos, I don't get that big creamy vanilla middle that I got with the Anejo either, on the finish I notice an acetyl tone that really didn't show up on the Anejo as well. Anejo, by definition should be aged beyond the reposado, and I can't help but think that extra aging has a real, substantial effect. This is a decent reposado but without the buttery smooth middle of the anejo it isn't going to bump out any of my other favored Reposados, like Herradura or Adictivo, the latest repo I've enjoyed.
This is a pretty easy conclusion for me, the Anejo wins and wins pretty convincingly. The monster middle vanilla note that comes off as a rich pint of oil just brings another dimension, as a bourbon head, that's probably the greatest of outstanding differences but the lack of refinement in the finish is notable as well.
So for a few dollars more is the Anejo worth it? For me it most definitely is, either way I hope you enjoy your next shot of tequila, and CHEERS!

Yea I'm gonna buy a pint of the Anejo next time I see it, I don't want to spend on tequila but I actually felt like I under rated it by a bit. Let's see if it holds up!
I need to try these again—-I remember having the resposado at Newark airport, right after a pretty bad High West pour. I should try the blanco, resposado and anejo side by side
