TequilaGringo 90 pts This one appeared in the market in early 2016 and had the street cred of NOM 1519, the distillery that created the highly regarded original pre-Diageo, pre-Diddy DeLeon tequila. They’re at it again, this time with a reposado that’s spent 8 months in bourbon barrels and made with water from their well…

Cazadores Reposado
TequilaGringo 88pts Perhaps our favorite to make a margarita with because it’s great stuff at a great price and they have fantastic distribution so it’s easy to find, and because the reposado flavors pair nicely with fresh lime juice and agave nectar. “The one with the deer on it” (cazadores means hunter) we always, ALWAYS,…
El Mayor Reposado
From Tequila Gringo: 90pts This bottle didn’t last long with us, it was too good! We found there to be gentle vanilla and caramel tastes along with delicious agave. A great sipping tequila that we highly recommend you try. This 100% agave tequila is aged in white oak barrels for up to nine months. An…
Hijos de Villa Reposado – Pistol
Tequila Gringo 87 pts We were pretty skeptical of this just because the bottle looked like a marketing gimmick (it is). But we picked up one anyway as a gift for a friend because that marketing gimmick works (it’s awesome). Two things happened. One, the guy we gave it to absolutely LOVED it. Two, it…
Penca Azul Reposado
TequilaGringo 89 pts We had this one by itself (not in a flight with other tequilas) and we liked it a lot. It’s a very delicate tequila with a light, smokey taste. Still very much a tequila as well, with a nice bit of agave flavor. We thought that this might be a good beginner…
Tenoch Reposado
From Tequila Gringo 89pts We really liked this tequila, and for the price it’s a winner. We picked up nut and some wood and found the consistency to be almost creamy. It’s smooth with only a little warmth, making it a great starter tequila. If you’re looking for a good gift tequila to bring to…
1921 Reserva Especial
Tequila Gringo 89pts This one drinks like an anejo more than like a repo, is marketed sort of like an anejo, but my understanding is that some of it is aged 9 months, while other batches are aged over a year (you must age it over a year for it to be an anejo) depending…
Cabo Wabo Reposado
Tequila Gringo Review 88pts Having had a few great nights back in college at Cabo San Lucas’ Cabo Wabo Cantina (man that air conditioning was key) we were ready to give Sammy Hagar’s effort a shot (pun intended). Sure all the locals down there say the tequila is no good, that you have to get…
Casa Noble Reposado
Tequila Gringo 90pts We’ve been fans of Casa Noble’s Anejo for a long time here at Tequila Gringo, and everything we heard got our hopes up super high for the Reposado. When we finally found our chance at LA’s El Carmen, we weren’t disappointed. At first we liked the smell, but what was interesting was…
Chinaco Anejo
Tequila Gringo Review: 90pts We tried this in a tasting with three other anejos at a place in San Francisco. It was up against Casa Noble Anejo and Partida’s offering. This came in a very close second to the Casa Noble in our opinion, very close. I guess we just love those chocolatey smooth ones….
Dona Carlota Reposado
TequilaGringo 89 pts: We found the Dona Carlota repo to have a nice, light, and fragrant nose. It smelled of spice to some degree, but we finally figured out that it was more like a potpurri! It has a soft taste that was really floral. VERY easy finish, and it maintained the taste throughout the…
Maracame Reposado
TequilaGringo 91 pts: When we took a whiff of this, we were taken aback a little. You don’t smell many tequilas like this. We picked up a lot of spice in the nose. The taste had a lot of spice as well plus some nut – very unique! Nice long finish too. Most importantly, it…
