Tequila Ocho Reposado
Review
This lightly aged tequila maintains all the character of agave and builds on it with subtle oak influence. It arrives with intense aromas and flavors, which span a broad and impressive spectrum from floral honey and briny bell pepper to luscious agave syrup. Only on the finish does the oak influence emerge, with vanilla and butterscotch notes serving a luxurious conclusion.
