Jarana Tequila Reposado

Tasted neat in Costa Rica two weeks ago. From recollection, it was smooth, herbal, with a mild profile and slight notes of oak. Tried again on 12/31/24 with a friend. Bought it for mixing but tried neat, obviously. On the nose, it smells sweet with notes of vanilla and wood. Smooth and sweet on the palate. Quite weak and tastes more like a liqueur.

Lime peel, vanilla, and very light oak. It's sweet and fruity. The vanilla notes suggest additives, but it's a smooth-drinking tequila.

Subdued nose, with notes of pepper, a little agave, and alcohol. Slightly sweet, with agave and a hint of vanilla. Mild heat.

Light citrus notes, oak, and vanilla. A peppery finish.
