Familia Camarena Tequila Reposado

Familia Camarena Tequila Reposado is 100% Blue Agave sourced from the Los Altos Highlands region of Jalisco, and distilled at Casa Camarena. This Reposado is aged for 2 months in both new and used American oak.

Fine Tequila doesn't happen by chance. For the Camarena Family, Tequila is a legend more than a century in the making.

In 1860, the Camarenas began cultivating fine altos Blue Agave for Tequila, soon becoming one of Mexico's top producers. Today, the family grows more than 3 million Agave plants, some at an altitude of 7,700 feet in the world's highest Agave fields. The fortuitous combination of elevation, a temperate growing cycle and indigenous red earth in Jalisco's highland region translates to delicate flavor and character in each bottle of Familia Camarena Tequila.

By 1938, Don Agustin Camarena founded the family's first Tequila distillery, Casa Tequilera Casco Viejo (soon to be renamed Casa Camarena), in the town of Arandas. Decades later, Don Agustin's daughter-in-law, Doña Elena Herrera Orendain - the great, great granddaughter of the legendary Don Jose Cuervo - became Managing Director of Casa Tequilera Casco Viejo in 1970. Today, Doña Elena is the Camarena Family matriarch and Casa Tequilera Casco Viejo is among the world's top four Tequila distilleries by volume.

I thoroughly enjoy this line of tequila. I've been sipping this ever since I haven't been able to find anything El Tesoro. Both very worthy for the price point with nothing disappointing in aroma or on the palette.

Camarena Reposado picks up where the blanco left off and ads a little more to it. I think this one is more of a sipper than their blanco, but just by a little. A very good reposado for $20 bux. Pretty sweet for being aged less than 60 days. I hope they come out with an anejo.

Aroma: A sweet berry/agave nose.
Initial Taste: A semi oily mouth feel, with a sweet entry and initial taste of berry.
Body: Nice sweet agave body with smoke and berry.
FInish: A sweet ever so slightly heated finish.

Ok let me start out by saying this Repo actually made me post my first review of any tequila. I loved the aroma of Vanilla this repo brings to the table. Its almost a combination of vanilla flavored agave. Followed by a slight agave spice and finishes very quickly. I highly recommend this tequila for lovers of vanilla and blancos. I feel I can understand what Camarena was striving for here and they hit it right out of the ballpark. For the price this really does it for me neat and even better in a margarita. I usually drink Corrido or El Tesoro or Chinaco of all flavors neat...all ages.

TEQUILA CAMARENA Familia Reposado 100% Puro de agave azul. NOM 1456. A sweet bottle design at a great price to boot this tequila is an excellent entry level repo in price only. I was surprised by the quailty of this brand. An all around great tequila that can be mixed and sipped. What a value! Mild on several points but true to this families name sake and great reputation for tequilas. It doesn't disappoint on any level. Could compete with many higher priced repo's nada problemo. Newby's will not be put off by price and will like its friendly profile. It's Three Bears "just right" notes are something a large section of tequila lovers will find worthy. Can't go wrong with this one. Enjoy!
