HAD 99: Tequila - Part Two
Oh God, I feel like I've been hit by a truck. . . At least we’re done with tequila. . . what, we’re doing two back-to-back tequila episodes. . . Sigh. The topic deserves it, so I guess we have to suck it up and line up the shots as we go in for Tequila part 2, Mexican boogaloo.

Tequila Tasting
EL Espolon Tequila Reposado
100% BLUE WEBER AGAVE.
Our tequila Reposado starts off life as Blanco. It’s then rested in lightly charred, new American oak barrels to create a more complex and well-rounded character uniquely Espolòn. This one begs to be shared in cocktails that deserve even greater tequila character.
COLOR: Rich, golden hue.
NOSE: Spicy with a hint of caramel fudge.
TASTE: Bold, round palate, medium to full bodied with a rich roasted agave; sweet tropical fruit, vanilla and brown spices. Long spicy finish.
