I picked up a bottle of Esperanto Reposado the last time I was in Mexico. The great looking bottle caught my attention and I had never seen it in the states before that either. I hope that the contents are half as good as the bottle itself.
Aroma: A light cooked agave with a lot of vanilla and butterscotch. A really light hint of clove and cinnamon as well.
Initial Taste: A very light initial taste with faint notes of agave and vanilla. Not a whole lot there.
Body: A pretty thin bodied reposado...almost a bit watery. Slight flavors of oak, vanilla and spice compliment an agave presence that is a bit lacking.
Finish: Strangely enough, the finish is pretty decent. A nice linger of pleasant vanilla/butterscotch flavors, oak and hints of spice. Good, but not great.
Overall, this is a pretty average tequila in a spectacular bottle. It's not bad, but it certainly does not merit a $50+ price. I would say that having a bottle of any expression on your bar is not a bad idea because of the beautiful workmanship, but if you are looking for something strictly for the contents, you can really do better than this for $50+.
