anonymous) for bars and clubs, this juice surprised <strong>Lippy<\/strong> with its balanced bounty of flavors.\u00a0 The <strong>blanco<\/strong> was a bright and peppery agave-soaked tingle that had big notes of bight mint, menthol and spice in its liquid load.\u00a0 Though the main taste structure was quite thin in the mouth, the loudness of the spices made up for the lack of complexity.\u00a0 The <strong>reposado<\/strong> introduced planks of unsophisticated oak on the nose, but this gave way to some very nicely spiced vanilla and coconut flavors along with a thick slather of butter atop it all.\u00a0 Though the <strong>reposado<\/strong> will not have the complicated family of flavors to keep your interest over a long session of sipping, the price and the surprising balance of flavors will definitely have you coming back for more in both Margaritas and solo sipping sessions.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">BUY RECOMMENDATION:<\/span><\/strong> Agavales Reposado<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">FLAVOR Profiles for AGAVALES REPOSADO (out of a possible 4 points)<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1665\" title=\"AgaIconKey_01\" src=\"https:\/\/tequilawhisperer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/AgaIconKey_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"422\" height=\"825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tequilawhisperer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/AgaIconKey_01.jpg 422w, https:\/\/tequilawhisperer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/AgaIconKey_01-153x300.jpg 153w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 422px) 100vw, 422px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You say you\u2019re looking for a bargain tequila brand that won\u2019t break your bank (wallet) but won\u2019t leave your palate busted, either?\u00a0 Then look no further, fearless Tequila Taster!\u00a0 Th\u2019 Lip has searched far and wide to bring you some worthy agave juice for UNDER $10.00!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[225,1],"tags":[377,36,114,127,130,166,171,193,213,218],"class_list":["post-1663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-show","category-uncategorized","tag-agavales","tag-blanco","tag-highlands","tag-lippy","tag-live","tag-reposado","tag-review","tag-tequila","tag-video","tag-whisperer"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tequilawhisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tequilawhisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tequilawhisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tequilawhisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tequilawhisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1663"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/tequilawhisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1663\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1673,"href":"https:\/\/tequilawhisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1663\/revisions\/1673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tequilawhisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tequilawhisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tequilawhisperer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
