I'll admit I don't know a great deal about this COA de Jima tequila having picked up a sample on a recent trip to the store. I believe it is a 100% agave tequila, likely aged less than 2 years in oak. It comes from the Los Altos de Jalisco region and is pretty cheap for a reposado. Enjoyed neat in a Glencairn, nothing added. Color is almost clear, just a hint of pale yellow from the aging. On the nose, I pick up a strong cooked agave note with vanilla, and a vegetal earthiness or asparagus note. A hint of barrel char is underneath and strong alcohol burn. Palate is light and thin, just a little sweetness, more cooked agave flavor, with black and white peppery spice and vanilla taking center stage. A faint hint of oak is present in the background. Finish is quick with a lingering earthiness, more pepper, and light vanilla that seems somewhat sweet, almost like an artificial sweetener. Overall, this is palatable, but not much more. No real complexity or depth of flavor. You do get the agave flavors, but it seems like the aging was fairly short as the barrel influence is almost non-existent. Cheers!
