Maybe we can get them to send us their new 100% repo for the tasting? What do you think Mr A?

[MrAgave]

That sounds good, maybe some minis sent out for tastings. You going to be there?

I wish I could purchase minis here in town to taste with so keep me in mind if you plan on asking the company that; I have no problem spending a little money to try the repo (shipping, insurance, and whatever the mini retails at). Purchasing a whole lineup for a tasting is tough for me but I'll have at least one for both the 1921, El Jimador, and Herradura. I think I can find Herradura in 375ml's for about 20-25.00 so that will be a nice savings and I can afford the whole lineup probably.

Is the 100% Repo going to be the only 100% tequila El Jimador is going to market?

[MrAgave]

The Anejo is 100%, but the Repo and Blanco are not. I'll see if I can find out more on the Repo...

[bn087]

I tried to view the website but its all in spanish. I'm guessing the 100% repo is the second bottle pictured with the big letters saying 100% AGAVE. Is the Sangrita marketed in the USA also, I've never seen that one.

Rumor on the street is that it will not be ready to sell till September. But thanks to tequila.net or else I would have had no idea it was even coming out.

[MrAgave]

I will be moving this tasting out a month or two as the product is coming a little later than expected to the US. I'll let you guys know a new date after I get it set with Michael at B-F.
