Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste & Sensory Profile
- Nose: Highly aromatic and fruit-forward. You’ll immediately smell Gala apples, ripe pear, and vanilla, followed by a savory layer of white pepper and a faint hint of smoked agave.
- Palate: Medium-bodied and surprisingly silky for a "short" Reposado. It leads with caramel and honey sweetness, transitioning into complex notes of walnut, hazelnut, and dark cocoa.
- Finish: "Soft and spacious." It leaves a clean, lingering trail of butter, clove, and sandalwood. Critics often note that if you decant this for 10 minutes, the herbal notes of fresh-cut grass become more prominent.
2019 Awards & Recognition
The 2019 vintage is the most decorated in the brand's history, having won:
- Gold Medal: San Francisco World Spirits Competition (2019).
- Gold Medal: Los Angeles International Spirits Competition (2019).
- Gold Medal: London Spirits Competition (2020 - for the 2019 stock).
Food Pairings (2-Pack Host Tip)
Since you have a 2-pack bundle, you have enough to experiment with both food and cocktails:
- Savory: Duck Carnitas or Grilled Portobello Mushrooms. The earthy, nutty cocoa notes in the tequila pair perfectly with "darker" savory flavors.
- Appetizer: Apple & Brie Crostini. The Gala apple notes in the tequila's nose are a direct culinary match for fresh fruit and creamy cheese.
- The "Purist" Serve: Because the 2019 batch is so agave-forward, it is best enjoyed neat at room temperature.
- The "Sinner" Cocktail: Use the second bottle for a Spiced Pear Margarita. The pear and clove notes in the spirit provide a sophisticated base that most standard tequilas lack.
