Ilegal Reposado

Crafted from Espadin agave, Reposado is “rested” for up to four months in ex bourbon barrels before bottling. Nose - Quite green to start, with wet grass and capsicums joined by cooked agave sweetness. The influence of the oak quickly becomes obvious, with vanilla and spice developing - nutmeg and sharp clove. Palate - Sweet and oily, with butterscotch and vanilla toffee. There is a gentle smokiness hiding underneath, but the sweeter notes dominate. After a few minutes in the glass, darker notes appear - sweet and earthy tobacco, stone fruits and sticky vanilla pods. Finish - The smoke makes itself known here, with doused campfires and tobacco lingering.
