Tequila Reposado

Nose: Assertive. A heady combination of leather, oil and salt. Body: Clean, smooth and dry. Palate: Aromatic vanilla and fresh grass. Notes of oak gradually emerge. Finish: Slightly spicy with a fresh, saltiness. The oakiness strenghtens towards the end. Colour: Full gold. Tequila Alebrijes Reposado has with a very typical taste, making it a good entry point into the world of fine reposados.

Nose: Sweet and rather strong. Cooked agave merging with butter and fruity pineapple. Body: Fresh, light and smooth. Palate: Butterscotch, vanilla and cooked agave. Finish: Slightly dry, medium in length with a salty spiciness. Colour: Pale yellow. A good introductory tequila thanks to it's sweet, light fruitiness and smooth body.

Nose: Perfumey and a touch oily, with strong hints of lemon and vanilla. Body: Medium to light, nutty and rounded. Palate: Fresh oak. Slightly drying. Finish: It develops to a crisp, accentuated dryness, with a hint of nutmeg and pepper coming in at the very end. Colour: Warm gold.

Nose: Initially strong and very herbal. After oxygenation the bouquet becomes more subtle, with underlying notes of oak, dates, wild honey and orange blossom. Body: Astonishingly light and smooth. Silky, with a tinge of sweet citrus fruits. Palate: A lovely balance of creaminess and sweetness. It's easy to detect dried fruits like banana, apricot and pineapple with caramel, topped off with a clear hint of vanilla and hazelnut. Finish: Long, with a tinge of cooked agave throughout. Initially oaky and spicy (cinnamon and root ginger) but becoming gradually dry. Colour: Bright yellow gold. The Tequila Somonque Reposado bears a strong similarity to a good smokeless whisky. Due to an entirely natural fermentation process, this tequila takes a longer time to produce, and is worth the wait. For a reposado it is rather on the light, sweet side of the flavour spectrum thanks to the notes of (ex-bourbon) American oak, and each sip slips down like silk.
