Where do reposado's fall in tequila expressions?
First and foremost, I appreciate all tequila expressions! But with tequila prices on the rise and distilleries releasing more often, I've been forced to be more selective with my purchases. My tequila journey started with shots of chilled reposado's to neat pours of HP/SS blancos. After many tastings I've learned that my preference is pure agave flavor without any barrel influence. Specifically the higher proof blancos that pack more of that agave *punch.*
When I want to switch things up I will reach for an anejo or an XA (if available) to enjoy the barrel influenced agave flavor. With this all in-mind, where does that leave the reposado expression? Do you guys reach for the reposado's often (when other options are available)? Curious to hear your opinions on the topic of reposado's. Cheers!
