The nose is kind of rich and funky with some spice including white pepper and peppermint coming through alongside some nice stewed agave. The palate has some more umami in in with a fishy not that isn't too and combined with syrupy viscosity and some light agave sweetness. The mint isn't overwhelming and it all blends together pretty well. Though it isn't extraordinary in its complexity and that fish is a bit off-putting. The Blanco has some edgier tequila character that is nice, though it mostly just has more mint, less caramel, and less fish. The Blanco has a clean flavor profile that I do enjoy. I appreciate the rich red here, but I'll need to give it another shot to see if more complexity can be found. I think that fish might be a mis-read. Still a hint of fish, but more along the lines of caramel (agave), vanilla, spice. Definitely fish though. The richness is nice, being greater than that of Jimador Añejo, but it tastes a bit less complex...with fish. I'd probably take the Jimador between the two. The creamy mouthfeel is a delight though. Some tropical fruits do come out, which probabaly explains the source of the fishy flavor. When they appear, the Jimador Añejo has some stiff competition to deal with. This is richer than the Blanco with that same viscous mouthfeel. It has some subtle herbs that balance nicely with the spices. It has some sweetness, but like the Blanco, it's a bit on the dry side. There are some nice subtle fruit flavors that are kind of light like mild strawberry and raspberry. The complexity here is actually quite good with the complexity being much better than that of the Blanco. It swirls with nice new flavors regularly coming out. This is what a reposado tequila should taste like. This has some rich, bitter notes. There's some nice swirling complexity, but there's also a bit of something that tastes like mushroom or fish a bit. It's a little bit better than the Blanco and is thoroughly sippable, but it isn't something I would likely choose as my go-to. I appreciate how the complexities swirl more and are easier to pick out in this than in the El Jimador Añejo due to the latter's assertiveness, but at the same time that assertiveness is a big part of what makes El Jimador Añejo so good. I'm still calling the Embajador premium a bit better, but it's close and the prices sure aren't.
