https://tequila.net/ https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=3363 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=3363 Tasted 01/23/15 from a Riedel Tequila Glass. Pale straw color. Aroma: Medium-light fragrance of agave, oak, pear and apple. Initial Taste: Peppery agave, oak, spices, and light sweetness from the fruit flavor. Body: Light body with small tears on glass; and a light mouth-feel dominated by the agave vegetal character. Finish: Relative short heated finish of agave and mild fruit notes, with a mild peppery kick ending with a lingering agave vegetal after-taste. The pale straw color results from the relative short aging of 60 days in American oak. The aroma and initial taste have a little sweetness from the fruit notes but are soon over-powered by the peppery agave. The finish ends with a lingering agave vegetal after-taste, which I didn’t find very appealing. This is a value tequila for sure since you can easily find it for under $20, but for my taste I would only only use it for mixing. ]]> Tue, 03 Feb 2015 04:12:15 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2688 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2688 I bought this to soak strawberries in, but had to pour a pair of neat shots off the top to make room, and to enjoy the tequila alone. Not a bad price, and not a bad mouth feel, but it had a little too much volatility to really savor. I wanted to like it more than I did like it. Great looking bottle, and the color is very inviting. I liked it better on the tip of my tongue than in my throat. After the requisite 6 weeks of soaking strawberries, I got pretty liberal with drinking this and must say I was *happy* a few shots in. No regrets there and I felt great the following day.. so yay! ]]> Mon, 08 Oct 2012 05:34:45 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2553 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2553 A pretty good value brand that can be easily found. All good things. Let's see if the tequila is tops for the under $20 category. Aroma: Very sweet. Not as much agave as I'd like. It's almost syrupy in the fruity sweet scent. Initial Taste: Vanilla, Light agave and fruit (pears/berries) Body: Medium-light body that is a little oily so it coats the mouth OK. Still a very sweet tequila with just a slight bitterness. Finish: Reasonable finish. Not a spicy kick, but no burn either. Fairly easy to drink. This is a pretty good tequila for under $20. It's a decent value sipper, but the strong flavor tends to overpower citrus mixed drinks. For something more fruity or sweet it is fine, but it's has a strange aftertaste in a margarita. You're better off buying the blanco for that as it mixes pretty well. Overall, still a pretty good buy for the money. ]]> Fri, 06 Jul 2012 01:06:24 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2283 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2283 Not mass produced for no reason! High quality for a great price. ]]> Thu, 26 Jan 2012 07:42:12 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2202 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2202 I thoroughly enjoy this line of tequila. I've been sipping this ever since I haven't been able to find anything El Tesoro. Both very worthy for the price point with nothing disappointing in aroma or on the palette. ]]> Tue, 03 Jan 2012 13:34:17 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2197 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2197 Camarena Reposado picks up where the blanco left off and ads a little more to it. I think this one is more of a sipper than their blanco, but just by a little. A very good reposado for $20 bux. Pretty sweet for being aged less than 60 days. I hope they come out with an anejo. Aroma: A sweet berry/agave nose. Initial Taste: A semi oily mouth feel, with a sweet entry and initial taste of berry. Body: Nice sweet agave body with smoke and berry. FInish: A sweet ever so slightly heated finish. ]]> Fri, 30 Dec 2011 02:01:49 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1893 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1893 Ok let me start out by saying this Repo actually made me post my first review of any tequila. I loved the aroma of Vanilla this repo brings to the table. Its almost a combination of vanilla flavored agave. Followed by a slight agave spice and finishes very quickly. I highly recommend this tequila for lovers of vanilla and blancos. I feel I can understand what Camarena was striving for here and they hit it right out of the ballpark. For the price this really does it for me neat and even better in a margarita. I usually drink Corrido or El Tesoro or Chinaco of all flavors neat...all ages. ]]> Sat, 26 Mar 2011 04:59:57 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1617 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1617 TEQUILA CAMARENA Familia Reposado 100% Puro de agave azul. NOM 1456. A sweet bottle design at a great price to boot this tequila is an excellent entry level repo in price only. I was surprised by the quailty of this brand. An all around great tequila that can be mixed and sipped. What a value! Mild on several points but true to this families name sake and great reputation for tequilas. It doesn't disappoint on any level. Could compete with many higher priced repo's nada problemo. Newby's will not be put off by price and will like its friendly profile. It's Three Bears "just right" notes are something a large section of tequila lovers will find worthy. Can't go wrong with this one. Enjoy! ]]> Sat, 24 Jul 2010 03:41:24 +0000
