Appearance: Medium clear amber color. Aroma: Pleasant aroma of sweet agave, oak, and subtle vanilla and citrus notes. Initial Taste: Bold and well-aged peppery agave, oak, spices and a hints of vanilla and orange. Body: Medium body with slow tears on the glass and a slight buttery mouthfeel. It is smooth with nicely balanced flavors. Finish: A nice smooth, medium-long finish, with agave, oak, and spice flavors that roll across the tongue. It finishes with a nice peppery agave kick. Enjoyability: 91 Price: $24.99 to $29.99 Presentation: The limited edition bottle is attractively designed and has a synthetic cork stopper. This is a nice sipping reposado, which is very affordable in the $20 price range. At these prices I will always have a bottle in my collection. ]]> Sat, 15 Nov 2014 21:39:40 +0000 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1255 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1255 El Rey y Yo (The King and I) NOM 1416. Tasted out of a snifter on 8/31/09 at my home tequila bar. Color: Medium Amber. Aroma/Nose: Light alcohol w/hints of clover honey. Initial Taste: Fruit and vanilla w/mild oak. Body: Very light oily mouthfeel w/wide chunky legs running around and down the entire snifter. Finish: Very smooth agave presence w/even smoother oak that actually seemed to "melt" together as it flowed over the tongue. The finish was very suprising on the back end because everything up to this point indicated that it would finish just as smooth as it started and then BAM! It came back and slapped my palate almost letting me know that this was in fact a serious first class reposado that is capable of competing with the big boys in it's category! Overall a very nice agave experience! Quality/Price: This was an exceptional value at $29.99. Presentation: Limited Edition 18th Family Anniversary Bronze Edition bottle is very attractive and is sealed with a synthetic cork stopper. ]]> Mon, 31 Aug 2009 21:02:08 +0000 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=942 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=942 Tequila El Rey y Yo Reposado * Tasted Blind 11-15-08 * Riedel Tequila Glass Appearance: medium amber, golden hues - medium body and tears Aroma: fruity and sweet, mild agave and whiskey Initial Taste: floral and wood Spirit Body: agave with hints of orange and vanilla Finish / Aftertaste: warm mouthfeel, short fruity aftertaste ]]> Sun, 28 Dec 2008 00:37:59 +0000
