Neat, in a flight of all 3 Altos expressions..2nd rating, 2nd bottle..with 6 months more experience
Nose is clean and bright, a touch of oak, agave/raw sugar, vanilla, fresh green herbs and mint leaves. Taste is true to nose. Thin mouthfeel , sugar sweet, pears, light green herbs balanced perfectly with vanilla and oak tannin. Lingering finish with oak tannins, saccharine sweetness, with black pepper and cinnamon heat building up over several sips
A really enjoy this line of tequila for it's lack of additives, and almost gin-like herbal nature. Gin fans, this is up your alley. I generally shy away from reposados as they can be a compromise of the clean and delicate blanco flavors and woody anejo, but this is a nice balance, preserving the delicate flavors of the blanco, but adding complexity of oak and vanilla. Personally, a shelf staple. In a blind, slightly above average but considering the uniqueness, honest manufacturing, and price, it get a big bonus
