T1 is the brainchild of Germán Gonzalez after his departure from Chinaco and he's put every bit as much passion into this brand as he did with his previous one. T1 is a lowland tequila made at NOM 1146 (La Tequileña) which produces Lapis, ArteNOM 1146 and AsomBroso. It's aged for 6 months in bourbon barrels. Enough of the production facts, let's jump right in... Price: $40-50 Aroma: Cooked agave, grassy notes, light vanilla and spice. Initial Taste: Nice agave sweetness, grass notes and vanilla. Body: A medium-thick body with nice oils that coat the glass well. A bit more oak mixes with the agave & vanilla notes. Nice balance. Finish: A nice linger of oak and spice that lasts a good while. T1 reposado is a nice overall tequila. I think that I prefer the blanco (lots of pepper & spice) and the añejo (very rich and smooth cigar sipper) over this one, but it's fairly priced at $45-50 and it a quality repo. Overall, this is one of the better new lines to hit the market. It's got a nice mouth feel and good balance between agave and barrel. Definitely worth checking out. ]]> Wed, 18 Sep 2013 01:57:47 +0000 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1862 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/reposados/discussions/review.html?id=1862 Pale straw color, doesn't cling too heavily to the glass. Scent of sweet agave. The Initial taste of sweet agave leads to a light vanilla body. Finishes with a light spiciness which fades quickly. Bottle is a nice eye cathing tear-drop shape, but has a plastic top w/cork. I suppose the plastic top doesn't bother me, but I know others are interested. I paid approx. $58 in CA, I've seen it listed for as low as $48. Almost $60 is a bit steep, closer to $50 would be more appropriate. ]]> Sun, 27 Feb 2011 02:39:02 +0000
