Aroma: Light agave, some spice and oak. Initial Taste: Not a ton of initial flavor. Light agave and vanilla flavor. Body: REALLY thin body. Almost like drinking water. Nothing complex here. Finish: A very strange finish for this tequila. The taste is like a thick custard, but the texture is really thin. It confuses your brain. It's a $15 100% agave tequila. I wasn't expecting miracles. It's better than Cuervo Gold and not as good as Camarena and other low prices 100% agave tequilas. It's fine in a pinch because it's well priced. ]]> Sat, 28 Apr 2012 02:31:19 +0000 <![CDATA[Chimayo Tequila Reposado: ]]> https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/mixtos/discussions/review.html?id=862 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/mixtos/discussions/review.html?id=862 We were first offered a taste of Chimayo Reposado in a pomegranate mixture and it was quite tasty. Turns out that the Blanco and the Reposado were both selling in Sacramento for $12.98 (are we still in "Budget Week?" so I decided to taste it for the record. Colour - pale straw Nose - bright agave, vague smoke and alcohol. Initial taste - Semi sweet, very mild agave. Body - Thin in the mouth, minimal burn and no bitterness. Finish - Brief, mild and without distinction. Overall it is unpretentious and undistinguished. For the price it is a good party-grade mixer - certainly much better than the higher priced and more familiar mixtos. ]]> Fri, 17 Oct 2008 12:30:34 +0000
