Don Julio Reposado Tequila

Don Julio Reposado is 100% Blue Weber Agave , double distilled, and rested in charred oak bourbon barrels for up to 11 months. Each agave is hand selected at maturity and only the heart of the distillation is used, as it is the purest part, free from most impurities.

Light and sweet with nose of vanilla and chocolate. Refreshing over ice, straight, or with a citrus soda.

tasted 07/06/08 out of a old fashioned double ball glass. being a true blanco lover, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this repo. It wasn't too woody, as I get an ill feeling when there is too much wood.

Aroma: A nice agave nose with hints of cinnamon and earth.
Initial taste: This is where I usually cringe if it's too woody. Inital taste was sweet with no bitterness.
Body: Thin mouth feel with a very pleasant agave complimented softly by wood and cinnamon.
Finish: Of medium duration with no alcohol burn.

Don Julio Tequila Reposado, NOM 1449. Pale amber color, nice long legs with a wonderful sweet agave & vanilla nose. The initial taste is earthy with a nice oakiness developing into a complex, floral aftertaste. This medium bodied spirit has a myriad of flavors such as caramel, chocolate, oak, orange, & vanilla which finishes by dancing across the tongue & exiting with the same agave sweetness it started with. The smoothness of this exceptional tequila continues throughout the entire tasting experience with absolutely no taste of alcohol. Needless to say I was very impressed with this reposado & it will always have a place on my shelf. A/A+. Top shelf.

Reposado is sometimes the toughest category for me to rate,especially when this particular selection can almost compare to a handful of other repos, it definitely has a strong aroma od citrus notes, layered with notes of spice, although fairly soft in my mouth, with light vanilla, and cinnamon hints, it does give way to a more harsh finish of caramel,almost bitter caramel... a good reposado.

Don Julio Reposado NOM 1449 Tasted 2/19/07. The tequila is a pale yellow color and has an intense floral and earthy aroma. Once you get past the intensity of the nose, you can smell moderate notes of caramel and fruit. On the tip of the tongue the tequila is mellow and soft with a light intensity of taste but yet has a medium feel in the mouth. While the tequila has a low bitterness, it is fairly sweet. The flavor has intense earth which is followed by moderate agave, fruit, caramel, and floral. The tequilas finish is a medium duration of flavor followed by a slightly numbing alcohol feeling. Overall, I rated this tequila at the A level.
