Hussong's MR Reposado Tequila Tasting Notes

Nose: This tequila has an attractive straw-gold hue and shows aromas of roasted pepper, brined lemon, and a touch of oak.

Palate: The nose is somewhat subdued and most of the agave-inspired flavors disappear on the palate in favor a dominating oak sweetness.

Finish: A hint of heat shows in the finish but this is overall a pretty light and uninspired tequila notable mostly for its packaging and its namesake bars.
