Well even though their selection of tequilas is small, they are quickly becoming more aware of the importance of tequila, and it's evident from their menu with a new tequila section and even tequila flight, and after speaking to the partners and management, i know that in a couple of months the stuff will take over the whole bar area! Great food, great people....

A new and upscale liquor store in Dallas, with a huge variety of Fine Wines, and Great Spirits, this is personally one of my favorites, the store has such a great selection, and even has a walk in humidor, and a 20 seat tasting room, where i recently attended a tasting of El Tesoro Tequila hosted by Carlos Camarena. So when you find yourself in Dallas, and looking for a great place to purchase your next great bottle of premium tequila, I highly recommend stopping by the new Sigel's Elite store, with a knowledgeable staff, and down to earth management, this store is a definite must.

Partida's Repo is an excellent addition to the family, with a very sweet almost earthy agave smell, it is easy to see why this brand is a house favorite, the smokiness eventually soothes through the nose but at first hint it is virtually undetectable, a very nice addition to the senses,the body is full of flavor, with a very smooth oily finish that goes down pretty smooth. For the price this Reposado is well worth it, and the sleek streamlined look that the bottle design is going for, definetly gets it's point across, a very refined tequila...

Milagro's Select Barrel Repo. is a nice addition to the Milagro Family, but the aroma is rather pungent, way too strong, the alcohol fumes are just seeping through the cork, even after i let it breathe for 10 minutes, the nose was just as strong, this automatically put my senses into high defensive gear, practically not letting finish me finish the tasting, but i toughed it out, once over the initial smell, the initial taste was a little more pleasant, it was hard to savor it at first, but once it sat in my mouth for a few secs, i let it run down it's natural course, the body was full of different flavors with hints of vanilla, coffee, pepper, smoke, and a rather chalky dry finish, it was easy to understand why my dad like this tequila for when he was a cold, it soothes that crap out of a soar throat, the presentation, i think we can all agree on, it's simply beautiful, but you know what they say, you can't judge a book by it's cover.

The first thing that caught my eye was the beautiful design of the bottle, with beautifully etched agave leaves running on each side it really makes for a good presentation, the tequila is really pretty darn good, a great addition to the reposado market, it will definitely be a popular product, and from the "smell" of things this reposado is going to have plenty of consumers after it, the aroma was awesome, a very alluring whole bodied agave scent, without giving way to any other scents, that eventually come through in the body and finish, notes such as citrus, a bit of smokiness, and some vanilla and floral scents round it off, this repo, is very oily in the finish, making it very smooth. A definite reposado to watch out for.
