My Tasting Notes: I tried this tequila at the Davis Graduate using a snifter glass.
This tequila is a pale yellow color and has intense floral aromas. There are also
moderate aromas of fruit, earth, and spice. A mellow entry leads to a low level of
sweetness and no bitterness. The El Jimador Reposado flavor contains intense agave
and floral flavors. The tequila also has moderate intensities of earth and fruit followed
by mild smoke, wood, and spice accents. El Jimador Reposado finishes with a medium-
to-long duration of flavor and a subtle numbing alcohol feeling.
Info on the Back of the Bottle: "The man who, through generations has
mastered the art of selecting, and harvesting the best blue agave available to convert
it into this fine, smooth Tequila. In honour of this legendary figure we name our
tequila: El Jimador.
Other Info: The date stamp on this bottle is July 29th, 2008.
I first saw these new bottles at the Las Vegas Tequila Fest in 2008. Shortly after, I
began seeing the Reposado bottles in stores. While originally El Jimador was a 100%
agave product, for many years since its inception it has been a mixto. I am glad that
the brand has finally decided to move El Jimador back into the 100% agave category
and hope it stays 100% for years to come.
Below is more information about El Jimador tequila:
"Tequila el Jimador 100% Agave is crafted in the historic village of Amatitán in the
State of Jalisco, the very center of Mexico’s rich agave producing region. Introduced in
1994, Tequila el Jimador 100% Agave is Mexico’s #1 tequila.
It’s a way of doing things that is the essence of the tequila. It’s staying true to the
process our ancestors have used for years. And it’s a true attention to detail that
makes this tequila great.
Tequila el Jimador 100% Agave Reposado
A labor of love.
Making tequila is this and so much more. It is in this craft passed down among
generations that we find our inspiration, el Jimador, the skilled harvester of the agave
plant. From first sip to last, agave, cinnamon and hints of citrus and spice delight the
palate.
Reposado means rested – neither too long nor brief. Made from 100% pure agave,
Tequila el Jimador Reposado is aged two months to its moment of maturity, el Jimador
is rewarded by all of Mexico as its #1 tequila." -El Jimador Website
