Was looking for a budget-friendly Tequila that was of higher quality (no additives) and discovered Tequila Rejon. They make a Blanco, Reposado, and Extra Anejo all bottled at 44% abv. I've only had the Reposado but was immediately impressed.
NOM 1531: Destilería Rivesca, S.A. De C.V.
LOCATION: Amatitan, Jalisco
REGION: Jalisco (Los Valles)
Reposado: "100% Tequilana Weber blue agave, left to blend for 2 to 11 months in white oak barrels made out of both, American and French oak."
Nose: Oak is very, very subtle but present. The agave is what truly shines here and it's earthy, with notes of green peppers and light citrus. I find myself wanting to nose this for a while.
Palate: A lot of the nose transfers to the palate, but there is a light, honeyed sweetness that balances well with the earthy agave. Even with the higher abv than your typical 40% for tequila, no burn is present, and it really allows for the terroir of the agave to be the star.
An absolute steal for the price and highly recommend you give it a try. I will look to try a bottle of the Extra Anejo next.
