To Sip - Trago Reposado
Trago, meaning “sip” in Spanish is an ultra premium tequila that is produced in Central Mexico. It is distilled at Los Alambiques by Felipe Camarena, whose family has been producing tequila there for over 100 years. The Trago Reposado took a coveted silver medal at the 2007 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
The Spirit Journal has this review:
Trago Reposado 100% de Agave Tequila
40% abv, $50.
The pale straw/gray tint shines in the glass and reminds me of manzanilla sherry; excellent clarity. The aroma is fruity (pears, in particular), slightly baked/toasty, leathery, and dry; seven more minutes of air contact bring out nuances of chalk, pickle brine, dill, and butter cream; a complex and compelling bouquet. Entry is classy, moderately sweet in an oaky/vanilla manner, and still keenly toasty; the flavor profile at midpalate is creamy, concentrated, rich in texture, yet still peppery/spicy, earthy and fruity. Ends on notes of sweet oak, vanilla bean, honey, orange peel, and jalapeño pepper. Absolutely lovely, yet retains a definite touch of the wild.
This tequila is highly recommended
