Maracame Tequila Reposado 38%
Aged for 9 months in American oak
Tasted: Dec 2011
Quite a fleshy and oily nose, opening with some beautifully fragrant, pure vanilla oak which has a delightful creamy edge, followed by some woody/ pulpy notes and plenty of lime. Very complex and balanced.
The palate is wonderfully soft, opening up with some toasted, fleshy, pulp, light oils, light honey and a delicate pepperiness. Again wonderfully balanced with the pepper building to a crescendo. Full flavoured , elegant and wonderfully pure. Good length with a herbal twist and just a slight bittering of the oak in the finish.
