TEQUILA Details:
BRAND: EL REFORMADOR (treasure Edition)
NOM: 1109
AGAVE SOURCE: LOWLANDS
GENERAL TASTING NOTES:
El Reformador practically DEFINES the term, “treasure bottle”. It’s a long “out-of –print” (from this distillery; 1109*) brand that was a stellar example of a carefully crafted lowlands tequila. The blanco features a surprising lemon citrus cloud that playfully interacts with its full-bore agave spice. The reposado brings a sweet addition of wood that starts in softly and builds a momentum on the back palate as it intermingles with the ever-present agave to form a carefree party of soft agave sweetness in the mouth. The anejo (aged 2.5 years) is perhaps the greatest representation of what happens when a simple recipe is lovingly brought to its fullest blossom of presentation. While never losing the agave profile contained within, the anejo presents deep tones of caramel and brown spice in a pleasingly balanced cocktail of love. You just have to taste it to believe that tequila can be this good! Buy all you can.
BUY RECOMMENDATION: El Reformador (NOM 1109*) Blanco, Reposado, Anejo
*Make SURE the NOM number on the bottle says 1109!
Where can I buy it? I’m looking for anejo. My husband loves this and I drank all of his. woops.
Sorry Louise. This is never to be seen again! (from NOM 1109)
Sorry for the late reply 🙂 I didn’t realize you replied to this and I’m still looking (because he is still whining!).
I’ve tried to get him other tequilas but I’m just not a good judge of how tequila tastes. Knowing how much he enjoyed this tequila, would you be able to make a recommendation for me?
Thanks! I promise to check back here for replies this time 🙂
