Wild Common Tequila Reposado

Smell: Refined. Cooked agave, warm caramel, toasted almond ice cream. A hint of crème brûlée. Taste: A warming, complex journey. Wow. It evolves as it sits. Agave, baking spices, bold cinnamon, and a balanced herbal hint of the region's terroir all interact at once. A very smooth mouthfeel that envelops and coats the palate. Very satisfying. Finish: Long and mouthwatering. Cinnamon, sweet agave, and a tiny drop of freshly picked honeysuckle nectar.

The aroma strongly evokes the desert after rainfall - damp creosote, minerals. The barrel influence is subtle, with the agave taking center stage - featuring some vegetal notes, herbs, parsley, and a slightly earthy finish. The brief barrel aging adds just a whisper of caramel. The nose is truly the highlight here.

Lightly aged, with a prominent agave character. This embodies the essence of tequila. With 43% ABV, there's ample complexity to hold your interest. I'll be enjoying this all evening. I found this in Southern California.
