| Don Julio Reposado - Agave Bottle |
My Tasting Notes: On this date I tried this tequila by doing a blind tasting at Zocalo
using a snifter. This tequila is a pale yellow color and has intense aromas of earth and
floral. There are also moderate aromas of fruit and spice followed by mild vanilla and
lime/grass. A mellow taste on the tip of the tongue leads to a low sweetness with a
hint of bitterness. The Don Julio Reposado flavor contains intense floral and earth
flavors with moderate agave and fruit. The tequila also has mild intensities of vanilla
and caramel followed by hints of spice. Don Julio Reposado finishes with a
medium-to-long duration of flavor and a slightly numbing alcohol feeling.
Info on the Back of the Bottle: "Made from 100% blue agave, Don Julio
Reposado is double distilled and carefully matured in small oak barrels. Its aroma is a
mixture of pair, apple, and lemon. The taste is smooth, light, and sweet. For over five
decades, Don Julio has been crafting Mexico's finest tequila. Just one sip shows it is a
labor of love. Try it over ice or in a snifter straight."
Other Info: "Thank you for choosing Don Julio Tequila.
Since the age of 17, Don Julio has been growing the highest quality agave plants which
give his tequila an incomparable aroma and taste. The agave plants are grown in a
micro climate in the highlands of Jalisco. This area, which is between mountaintops,
has stable temperatures and humidity. It also contains volcanic rock, which makes the
water soft and pure. These conditions allow Don Julio to grow a superior agave, which
is distilled into a superior tequila." -Don Julio Neck Tag
