Tequila Toro de Lidia Reposado

Toro de Lidia Tequila was created for the "Fiesta Brava," the centuries-old Spanish bullfighting feast. Our Reposado is produced with 100% of the finest selection of Blue Agave, using spring water to ferment and aged 6-12 months in uncharred American white oak barrels. Toro de Lidia is oxygenated, chilled to 4 degree centigrade then filtered through activated carbon filters before bottling, which makes it one of the smoothest tequilas in the industry.

A Toro de Lidia is the thoroughbred of bulls used in bullfighting -- bulls with a natural instinct to attack. They are known for their valor and elegance, traits cultivated through centuries of controlled breeding. In the Middle Ages, knights would use spears and train with these toros as a form of medieval combat practice. Their servants, however, would fight them on foot -- a practice that would later evolve into bullfighting as we know it today.

Aroma: Agave & Earth. A touch of wood and vanilla mixed in.
Initial Taste: A really nice start. Agave with a touch of the things that remind you of reposado. Spice, earth and vanilla.
Body: Thin mouth feel. The agave is still the dominant taste, but it's complimented nicely by the oak and the spices that are still very present.
Finish: Very similar to the blanco. A medium, nice spicy linger that has very little burn.

Another very good budget tequila. It has everything that you would expect from a lowland blanco. $18.99 at Mission. Again the bottle is classy and sleek. A great bargain at that price.
