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.
