Description :

Olmeca Altos Reposado Tequila is categorized as a Reposado tequila. Tequila type is determined by age, and Olmeca Altos Reposado Tequila is aged for 6 months. Generally, Reposado ("rested") tequilas are aged in wooden barrels between two and twelve months. A wide variety of barrels are used for aging, from French Oak to Whiskey barrels. The type of barrel will have a significant impact on the subtle flavors of the tequila.

Nose: Barrel aged agave with a smokey sweetness.  Caramel creams, toast, and autumnal leaves on a sunny day.
Taste: Initially an almost burnt marshmallow quality with a lot of ginger and a subdued woodiness.  Well aged, but still with a youthful sprightliness.
Finish: Fairly long with a sweet and medium dry finish.  Again, the ginger spice excites the mid-palate.
Overall: A good expression of a rested tequila.  Not as interesting as the plata, but still a top-notch 100% blue agave spirit.
