ABV: 40%
Closure: Cork

Very pale straw / gold colour. The nose delights with its keenly herbaceous / potpourri intensity that includes notes of dried grass, baked citrus, freshly cracked peppercorns and a hint of crushed eucalyptus leaf. A light silky entry builds to a moderately concentrated profile that’s subtly smokey with suggestions of baked citrus and green peppercorns. Slightly oily. Finishes short and rather nondescript with a faint beeswax aftertaste. 40% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Espolon Reposado Tequila is aged six months, quite a bit of time amongst modern reposados which spend half that time in barrels if they’re lucky. Definitely a kissing cousin of the blanco, this expression is smoothed out, and has the agave knocked down a few pegs, letting vanilla and some caramel notes come to the surface. Nice, easy finish. An incredible bargain — it’s actually the same price as the blanco. A winner. - drinkhacker.com

...Golden yellow color. Mellow aromas of honeycomb, citrus meringue, and delicate pickling and baking spices. Super smooth and satiny with a dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body. Elegant and floral on the finish with anise, bee pollen, and pepper accents. Superbly crafted.
