Tequila Corralejo Reposado

Corralejo Reposado Tequila - Corralejo's Reposado is "rested" for four months on three different kinds of oak - French, American and Encino - and represents a highly unique approach to the use of wood for influencing tequila flavor. This method has been validated by three Gold Medals in international tastings and the "Double Gold Medal" at the 2001 World Spirits Competition.

Color: Light straw color
Aroma: Note the delicate fragrances of vanilla, peppercorn, brine and honey
Taste: Fruit filled lemon, lime, honey, peppercorn, smooth medium body finish

Corralejo Tequila Reposado, NOM 1368. This medium yellowish/amber colored spirit was enjoyed in a small Cognac snifter where an earthy agave & slight smoky oak nose presented itself. The taste of spice & oak became more apparent as I proceeded. This all resulted in a medium body tequila which was as smooth as other tequilas in the same price range but displayed some alcohol overtones. I think the moderately long finish was one of Corralejo's most memorable attributes. It rolled across the tongue & lingered a bit before exiting with a nice open sensation. This was a good reposado but not one of my favorites. Distinctively tall bottle with an attractive label. A solid B.

Tasted in a caballito on January 23, 2008 showing long and lasting legs down the glass.

Corralejo Reposado

Color: light yellow color
Aroma: lime and honey
Taste: agave, honey, peppercorn, light wood with an oily body, long smooth finish with a mellow burn

For the price I rate this Corralejo Reposado as a lighter alternative to the Casa Noble Reposado

Corralejo Reposado NOM 1368 Tasted 4/8/07. The tequila is a very pale yellow color. Beginning with intense earthy and floral aromas, the deeper aromas include moderate spice and a hint of smokey and fruity scents. On the tip of the tongue there is a mellow and soft sensation that is followed by a sweet, low bitter taste. Upon tasting, the tequila has intense floral, earth, fruit, and agave with moderate spicy and smokey flavors. Corralejo Reposado tequila finishes with a medium-to-long duration of flavor and numbing alcohol intensity. Overall, I rate this tequila at the B/B+ level.

I've been drinking Corralejo Repo in my Palomas for about 6 years now. It's one of the few Reposados that I used for mixing because it has such strong Agave flavor.

An incredible agave nose that beats a lot of others than I actually enjoy more than Corralejo.

The body is on the lighter side of medium with lots of pepper and fruity zest. The Finish is clean with a slight burn of sharp alcohol on the exhale.

Corralejo is back to being 100% agave. It dropped that label for a few years. From the story I heard, there was an agave shortage and they went to 70% blue agave for that short time period.

Pricing is nice. Should run in the low to mid $30's.

The triple distilled repo has a lot of the same taste characteristics with less "bite" than the standard. If drinking straight, I would recommend the Triple distilled. It should run about $15-20 more.
