Adictivo Tequila Reposado

A name to remember: Gildardo Partida. In a few years, possibly sooner, you'll wonder why you weren't drinking his tequila earlier. The initial aroma features rich, organic roasted pineapple core notes, a signature characteristic of Herradura that is very apparent in Adictivo. Beyond the tart agave heart, there's a sweet and spicy cinnamon blending with the agave base, complemented by tea, honey, and mint aromas – a scent that lingers. The palate begins with a smooth combination of rich honey agave and sweet vanilla sugars. If you enjoy sweet bourbon, you'll likely love this. While the sweetness is almost excessive, the entire mouthfeel resolves into a vanilla cinnamon delight with a subtle agave tartness. Just before becoming overwhelmingly sweet, it settles back, affirming its identity as an agave distillate. The finish is a pleasant honey fade. It's certainly rich, but the candied sugars are balanced to be enjoyable without being overpowering. Adictivo also impresses with its design; the bottle is an excellent example, mirrored in the stopper, with a twisty shape reminiscent of some bourbon bottles I've seen. Cheers!

As a novice, I can only share my personal experience. If you enjoy tequila shots, this isn't for you due to its sweetness. However, if you're seeking a flavorful and enjoyable drink for sipping, this one offers plenty of taste and isn't overly sweet when consumed that way. It's quite delicious. I understand the name Adictivo ♥️.

Nose: 90 - Typical reposado scent. Pleasant and sweet. Palate: 90 - Exceptionally easy to drink. Finish: 89 - Short to medium length. The taste persists slightly, with very faint alcohol notes. Overall Score: 89.66/100

I can understand how the honey notes might be too much for some, but for me, it makes it distinctive. If you enjoy honey/vanilla, don't overlook this one.

Buttery vanilla and caramel, light tannins but noticeable. Extremely good, sweet and refreshing.

Very sweet, similar to liqueur. Experienced no heartburn while consuming it with chicken wings.
