https://tequila.net/ https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=3423 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=3423 I like this stuff, for mixing (French Intervention, classic 3-2-1 Margarita). It's good without being past the point of diminishing returns. Reasonable price without being cheap and harsh. ]]> Tue, 15 Sep 2015 02:23:17 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2879 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2879 This is my go-to for mixing. I feel that fine reposados and anejos deserve to be enjoyed straight up or with a sangrita sidecar.Don't get me wrong, Hornitos is totally acceptable as a sipping tequila, too. But it isn't in the same class as the top shelf choices. It's THE best Margarita tequila, though. Mix it a little stronger than you normally would and let some of that agave character come through. You'll be glad you did. Straight up, it's just a tad harsh. Good flavor but more alcohol burn than I like. ]]> Sun, 26 May 2013 02:16:22 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2783 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2783 Tasted on 12/31/12 from a Reidel glass. Sometimes your palate just changes. Or could it be the juice? I've always thought Hornitos was a great deal for the price. It's been one of my low-cost, but smooth tequilas and can be sipped or mixed. Tonight, however, it seems harsh and a little bitter compared to what I've remembered in the past; a little disappointing. I couldn't place the aroma tonight, but it seemed a little buttery, but has a bitter after burn I haven't noticed before. Given all that, I still say it's a good value for the price ($27 on sale at Costco for 1.75l bottle). I won't give up on it by any means, but I'll try it again in the near future and see if the smoothness I remembered returns. In the meantime, I'll make margaritas with it. Happy New Year y salud. ]]> Tue, 01 Jan 2013 05:47:54 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2396 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=2396 This is probably the best value of the Sauza bunch. It's flavor is decent. It mixes well. And it can be easily found at a good price. Aroma: Agave, fruit and alcohol. Initial Taste: Fruity agave sweetness with a touch of wood and alcohol. Body: The oak comes through along with a bit of burn. It's a thin body for an aged tequila. Finish: Typical Sauza burn, but not in an unpleasant way. This is a decent tequila for shooting or mixing. I find it hard to savor ones that burn too much. Good value for the money. If you're going to buy anything in the Sauza line, I'd recommend this one. ]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2012 03:00:00 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1928 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1928 Hornitos Reposado is fantastic, especially for the price. It's definitely a "lighter" reposado, with a very clean entry, body and finish. Definitely a little a fruity side. I recommend this tequila "hands-down" to people new to tequila who are looking for a low-priced, high-value tequila to keep in their homes. It runs the gamut and can be enjoyed in margaritas, as shots, or on the rocks with a squeeze of lime. I have seen this bottle range anywhere in price from $17 to $30. Typically, it's around $20 which is a fantastic deal. ]]> Thu, 28 Apr 2011 01:32:51 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1645 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1645 Hornitos resposado is just an all around good Tequila. Easy to drink neat, won't mess up your OJ if you're into that sort of thing. It's what your face wants. Write that down. ]]> Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:40:31 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1424 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1424 Very fruity, both the nose and first taste hits you with the taste of pear. Sauza hornitos reposado is a little bit too fruity for a tequila in my opinion but whould probably fit in at party during a hot summer day. ]]> Tue, 16 Mar 2010 23:11:03 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=837 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=837 I think Hornitos Reposado is one of the best tequila values for the money. I regularly pay $22-24 per bottle. I like it straight and it is smooth mellow and nice and spicy...I really like it as a good Margarita tequila. Not my choiuce for a night of sipping with friends but a really great choice when you are serving batches of margaritas and want evryone to really enjoy them. ]]> Sat, 11 Oct 2008 00:26:42 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=722 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=722 Tasted on 7/25/08. This reposado was a good 'starter' reposado. It's subtle and pleasant. Aroma: Light agave nose, with spice and earth. Initial Taste: Slight bitterness, thin mouth feel, followed by sweet taste. Body: Subtle agave presence, with slight hint of caramel and wood. Finish: Of short duration with slight alcohol burn. ]]> Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:13:19 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=699 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=699 Sauza Hornitos (New) Reposado NOM 1102 Tasted on 4/18/08 at 10:15pm. I tried this tequila at the Graduate in Davis, CA and tasted it out of a snifter. The tequila is a pale yellow color. The Hornitos aromas consist of intense fruit and floral aspects followed by mild earth. On the lighter side, this Reposado has hints of spice. On the tongue, this tequila is mellow and has a thin mouth feel. While the tequila has moderate agave flavor, it is semi sweet and has no bitterness. The flavor of this tequila contains intense notes of fruit and floral followed by moderate agave. Deeper flavors of Hornitos Reposado consist of mild spice and hints of chemicals, wood, and earth. Upon finishing this tequila, there is a medium duration of flavor and numbing alcohol intensity. I have rated this tequila at 83 out of 100 points. ]]> Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:25:45 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=584 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=584 Sauza Hornitos Reposado, NOM 1102. Tasted in a 2oz Cognac snifter. This was the first premium tequila I ever purchased & I haven't traveled this sentimental journey in quite awhile until now. Medium amber with green hues in color. The nose was earthy agave with some smoky oak, not much depth & some alcohol. The first taste was somewhat sweet, slight oak, & alcohol. The overall taste had diminished sweetness from the initial taste, mellowed somewhat, & finished rather quickly across the tongue with a slight numbing/open effect. I found Hornitos to be fairly smooth, much like I remember. Still a good buy but as good as the $3.50 a liter I first purchased it for in Reynosa, NL, MX a few extended years ago. I also plan on trying the new blanco & anejo soon. "Copa de ORO." All things considered, this tequila is a solid B. ]]> Sat, 03 May 2008 09:46:22 +0000
