A very enjoyable cocktail base with versatility and loads of flavour. This is available in the Virgin Clubhouse as a margarita made with the brands own agave syrup, very refreshing and ideal for flying without the heavy head most drinks leave. The premium handmade version is available in the UK at Harvey Nichols and on-line and is very complex with 40%ABV. Impossible to find fault with this reposado as it is real value for money.

It is 38% as noted above. Nose has faint cooked agave, but mostly alcohol. There is a smidge of fruit, caramel, and oak. Initial sensation in the mouth is alcohol tingle and heat. The taste does have some agave present, along with the nose characteristics of slight fruit, caramel, and oak; nothing overly complex here. The body is light-to-medium - not watery or thin, but not oily or coating, either. A quick, heated finish that fades quickly. I get a bit of lingering bitterness. I appreciate the simplistic presentation - kind of a retro pic of a couple dancing, with a gold border on the sticker. I like the screw cap. This was a budget tequila for mixing in the UK where purchased, and it lives up to that quite well. It makes a fine marg, but it's not a sipper. ]]> Wed, 17 Apr 2013 03:11:13 +0000
