"Pale straw in color. Lively agave with fresh herbal and oak undertones. Soft, full body with a warm and drying oak finish. Unlike other reposados, Hornitos is rested in large 10,000 gallon American oak vats rather than small individual barrels, providing less wood contact, delivering the purest articulation of true agave character possible in a Reposado Tequila. Full flavor and a smooth finish make Hornitos Reposado the perfect tequila shot." Tasting Notes
A fresh aroma of fruit and wood leads into complex yet perky flavors of sweet pear and spice, with a warm, oaky finish. Reposado's sophistication makes it perfect for drinking straight, but its spritzy zest also gives it limitless mixing possibilities.
Aroma after the pour is lean and paraffin-like; swirling and additional time in the glass stimulate more expressive aromas of black pepper, sea salt and jalape?o pepper. Palate entry is tight, acidic and keenly peppery; by the midpalate stage, the flavor profile's sinewy character goes totally dry and spicy. Ends up very trim.
