Grand Mayan Reposado Tequila (750ML)

Christopher Null, www.drinkerhacker.com: "Grand Mayan Reposado is exquisitely — and this word is formally banned at Drinkhacker, but we have to make an exception here — smooth. It is silky and light, free of burn. It just glides down the gullet, a huge benefactor of that triple distillation process. And while the silver version is gentle with notes of citrus and a touch of pepper on the nose, the reposado replaces that with vanilla and a light touch of lemon — though neither make a significant impact until you dig into the palate. Here, a stronger caramel influence makes its presence immediately known, that vanilla lingering beneath alongside a smattering lemon/lime notes, with touches of green agave and aloe vera on the finish. Like the Blanco expression, the reposado is as light as a feather — but sometimes that’s just what the doctor ordered, no?" 08/19
