Area: Highlands Aged: At Least 7 Months Barrel Type: Small Charred American Bourbon Oak Casks Bottle Size: 750ml Bottle Number: 6,769 Number of Distillations: 2 Alcohol Percentage: 40%/80 Proof Price: Donated By MuchoTE Tequila Current Website: http://www.muchotetequila.com/ |
My Tasting Notes: MuchoTE Reposado was donated to me by the owners of the
company but is estimated to be at a shelf cost of $30 a bottle. I tasted this tequila in
my home and used a Riedel glass for tasting. The bottle is similar to a normal bottle
and is very basic. The company philosophy is that they put everything into the tequila
and do not distract you with the bottle which would add to a higher cost. MuchoTE
ages their Reposado for at least 7 months which causes it to be a pale yellow, golden
color. Intense aromas of this tequila include floral accents that are followed by
moderate notes of fruit. Deeper in the aroma are hints of earth and a minimal hint of
caramel. In the mouth, the Reposado is smooth (in a good way) and is mellow and
soft on the tongue. While the tequila is somewhat sweet, there is only a slight hint of
bitterness. When examining the flavors of MuchoTE, first impressions include intense
floral accents with a good amount of agave. On a second sip, I noticed moderate
flavors of fruit. When searching for deeper flavors upon tasting the tequila, one can
taste hints of earth and wood followed by a slight hint of caramel on the back end.
This tequila finishes with a medium-to-long duration of flavor and subtle numbing
alcohol intensity.
Info on the Back of the Bottle: "Always handmade of 100% blue Agave with
care and attention to every detail, this quality Tequila has not changed in three
generations and never will. Traditionally, the best tequila is found in a simple bottle.
What is inside is what matters most. We know you will agree. Tequila to be enjoyed...
Salud!"
Other Info: This tequila is from the first bottling and is considered the collectible
edition from 2007.
"MuchoTE Tequila is made from 100% blue Tequilana Weber Agave, grown in the fields
of Don Feliciano Vivanco, a third generation Agave farmer.
The Agave piñas are harvested by our Jimador, and then placed in small adobe ovens
(hornitos) where they are steamed for 72 hours.
MuchoTE Tequila is then aged in small charred American bourbon oak casks (190 liters),
which impart the full flavor and golden color to the Tequila. Finally, MuchoTE Tequila is
selected by a tasting panel, to ensure the aroma and flavor are correct. For a Tequila
to be labeled “Reposado” (rested) the product must be aged a minimum of two months
in oak. As in everything we do, MuchoTE Tequila Reposado far exceeds this
requirement and is aged for at least 7 months.
Our commitment is that MuchoTE Tequila is handmade every step of the way by
passionate people, not machines. MuchoTE Tequila is made with 100% Weber Blue
Agave, every harvested Agave is hand selected based on sugar content, not weight.
Our mission is to bring you excellent Tequila at an exceptional price." -MuchoTE Website
