Produced by Brown-Forman Tequila Mexico in Jalisco, Mexico, El Jimador Reposado Tequila is made from blue agave, double-distilled and aged for two months.
On the palate, this medium-bodied tequila coats the tongue with pleasant vanilla and caramel flavors complemented by more fruit notes, especially cherry and strawberry. Light oak and cinnamon notes and a touch of earthiness add to the complex flavor profile.
I quite enjoyed the El Jimador Reposado which seemed to feature a light complexity which worked very well in the cocktails I tried. The short time in oak seems to have smoothed out a few of the rougher edges which were apparenet when I sampled El Jimador Silver.
A bit of aging and the point jumps 2 points – let that be a lesson – fix your shit if the words medicinal are mentioned in a non-gin review. Also maybe things get better with age.
