Republic Tequila Reposado

Republic Tequila Reposado is 100% Blue Agave, aged in American oak barrels for 8 months, and is proudly produced at La Quemada Distillery, one of Mexico's only certified organic distillers. Republic Tequila is handcrafted from estate grown blue agave, using traditional methods and natural aerobic fermentation. Unlike other distillers, La Quemada allows Republic Tequila to rest after it has been distilled in order to produce a purer, smoother spirit.

The wonderful purity of this organic Reposado makes it perfect for enjoying straight or in a premium cocktail.

Republic Tequila is available in 2 bottle styles, a standard bottle and a unique Texas shaped bottle which pays tribute to the great state of Texas.

Tasted 1/19/12 from Riedel glass.

Medium yellow color. Swirled glass produced small pearls with slow legs. A lot of agave in the nose, with a musty, earthy undertone which made me think of the smell of a penicillin bottle. Middle of glass yielded notes of vanilla and honey, quite pleasant. Thinnish mouth feel, and the initial taste was a bit astringent. That quickly faded to a spicy mix of agave and white pepper. The pepper stayed through the finish, which had a small bit of alcohol contributing to the throat burn, while some sweetness and vanilla lingered on the top-aft portion of my mouth.

On a side note, I remembered the Republic blanco as being on the sweet side and this repo didn't really seem to follow, so I retasted the blanco. Not nearly as sweet as I recalled, and I could easily see how this repo was produced from the same juice. Also, this wasn't the Texas-shaped bottle so my presentation score reflects the tall bottle which to me still looks quite nice.
