Rating: 9/23
N: Dry and kind of thin with some bitterness that leads a tad into ethanol. Hints of stewed agave, pepper, and herbal character. Very light hints of mint.
P: There's an immediate bite, with not much flavor, then light stewed agave sweetness, hints of mint, and a big pepperiness. Hints of vanilla. Actually, more vanilla than mint. Possibly very faint yuzu. There's clean water with a very faint vegetal flavor that's...maybe a tad off?
F: Light, lingering pepper and burn. Gestures of agave sweetness. Actually, maybe a little more than that. Definitely pepper and very faint yuzu.
- Conclusion -
This is not very good. There's nothing way out there in this profile, but it's light and has too much alcohol presence without being very interesting. This is also a case of the reposado being that unfortunate middle child, losing the interest of the blanco, while still being light.
I'm not sure that this is as low as a 9 though. It's certainly not an 8. It's certainly not a 12 though. I'm kind of thinking 10, but it really needs to be below Camarena Silver (10/23).
Eh, that burn is a bit too strong. This has a stronger burn than the blanco, but it also has a more approachable flavor. I think this will be a 9.
