Tequila Volteo Reposado
Review
Tasting non-blind is one of VinePair’s core philosophies because it allows us to take price and other important factors into consideration. While not inherent to the quality of a spirit, that does mean we also encounter every product’s packaging — and while that doesn’t impact our objectivity, it can raise an eyebrow, as was the case with this flashy reposado that seems designed for bottle service and more likely to deliver style over substance. All of which makes its engaging, concentrated, agave-forward, and luscious profile more surprising and welcome. Perhaps that packaging set a slightly higher bar for it to overcome, as did its celebrity credentials. But vault over that bar it did. And while this is an expensive reposado, it’s an exceptional sipping spirit — one that easily goes toe-to-toe with similarly priced and much older whiskeys, Cognacs, and brandies in general.
