It was my first experience with any expression of Oro de Jalisco. In fact I had no idea what it cost or where to find it until after I tried it. Price: $50-60/bottle Aroma: Sweet cooked agave, vanilla, light oak. A custardy type scent. Initial Taste: The vanilla sweetness is very prominent along with the agave. Body: An oily body with medium thickness. The custard flavors and oak mix nicely to create a sweet, caramel, dessert type of tequila. Finish: A medium length finish that is pretty much as you'd expect given the flavors of the spirit body. No surprises. This tequila is is from NOM 1494 and it's the only US sold tequila that I can find from that distillery. The bottle looks unique and authentic and the tequila inside is quite tasty as well. I'm not sure if I'd pony up the the $50-60 that it would take to buy a bottle, but it's definitely worth seeking out and trying if you can find it. ]]> Wed, 10 Oct 2012 14:40:50 +0000 <![CDATA[Oro de Jalisco Tequila Reposado: ]]> https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1708 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1708 Oro de Jalisco Reposado * Tasted September 2010 * Riedel Tequila Glass Appearance: medium straw - slow tears Aroma: sweet agave, subtle pepper and orange Initial Taste: sweet agave and citrus, very light oak Spirit Body: light agave, caramel Finish / Aftertaste: long sweet citrus finish, heated mint aftertaste ]]> Sat, 23 Oct 2010 03:50:05 +0000 <![CDATA[Oro de Jalisco Tequila Reposado: ]]> https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=863 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=863 Tasted out of a double ball glass on 10/17/08. This repo is one of the reasons I was weary of trying reposados. I'm just glad it wasn't the first reposado I tried. After tasting Oro de Jalisco blanco, I was looking forward to this reposado. The main things I didn't like about it were the very present tastes of alcohol and chemicals. Aroma: Agave, oak, and alcohol. Initial Taste: A thin mouth feel and a heated entry, it was bitter upon entry. First taste was oak. Body: Agave, caramel, and chemicals/additives. Finish: A medium semi heated finish with a lingering sour after taste. ]]> Fri, 17 Oct 2008 15:02:54 +0000
