Tasted in a rocks glass on September 15, 2008 quick legs down the glass.
Jose Cuervo Tradicional Reposado
Color: light brown hue
Aroma: agave, rubbing alchol
Taste: a cheap blanco stirred with a stick out of a campfire with a light mouthfeel and strong burn in the finish
For the price you can find many better Reposados. My favorite reposado at the time of this writing have to be Chinaco, Sol Azul, Casa Noble & Corralejo.
Tasted out of a snifter. This reposadao is very basic and something I'd consider for a beginner reposado drinker. Not too harsh, not to subtle. Not breaking any new ground. Just there, a very simple tequila for me. But for $24 bux as a new tequila drinker, you can't go wrong. Yet sooner or later, you'll want to move up to the next level.
Aroma: Slight caramel notes.
Initial Taste: Slight bitterness. An oily mouth feel.
Body: A mildly balanced agave with hints of earth and caramel.
Finish: A short finish with slight alcohol burn.
Jose Cuervo Tradicional Reposado, NOM 1122. I tasted this spirit at a pre-Cinco de Mayo party in a small fluted Champagne glass. The color had a pale, light amber/yellow color. The nose was earthy alcohol & nothing else. I detected first a very slight oak & a pronounced, unattractive alcohol taste. This medium body tequila had hints of spicy cinnamon which came out in the body, much like I've experienced in a blanco. The moderately long finish was numbing & ended with a strong presence of alcohol. Jose Cuervo Tradicional Reposado was rather harsh which I compared to a mixto, lacking any sweetness & overall taste representative of a 100% agave tequila. I think "Gold" or "Especial" is more appropriate here! C-/C.
Jose Cuervo Tradicional Reposado NOM 1104 Tasted 3/9/07. With a pale yellow color, Jose Cuervo Tradicional Reposado has an intense aroma of earth. Moderate aromas consist of floral, fruit, and smoke. The tequila has a bitterness to it and a sweet aftertaste. Initial flavors are intense earth and floral. There are also moderate agave, fruit, and spicy flavors. A hot, numbing alcohol intensity and a medium duration of flavor bring this tequila to an end. This tequila received the rating of B.
