Mijenta Tequila Reposado Symphony Series No. 2 750 ml
(Mexico)

Notes from the Distiller:

Mijenta’s Symphony Series explores the elegance of barrel aging through the use of unique casks built from staves of different wood varieties. Composed of oak from Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Virginia, these symphony barrels create a complex ecosystem that continuously enhances the incredible richness of the tequila as it matures for approximately 8 months. As the spirit transforms and evolves, these barrels bring to life something utterly unpredictable. Bottled at 45% ABV, Mijenta’s Symphony Series No. 2 showcases the terroir of our fully mature highlands agave complemented by notes of vanilla, coconut, fruits and spices imbued by the barrel.

"A mix of fruit and roasted nuts dominates the nose on this tequila, but it’s not long before a rich caramel and vanilla aroma come into full focus. Further time in glass evokes clear brown banana notes, bordering on banana bread. Throughout it all, a layer of gentle agave keeps pace with the fruitier underbelly. The palate flips the script a bit: Banana hits first and hard, with a substantial green agave quality backing it up. It’s not harsh or overly herbal, but the agave notes are well-represented, dusting a layer of peppery spice on top of the sweeter, breadier body. As the tequila develops further in the glass, notes of milky coffee, walnut oil, and cinnamon-dusted horchata all percolate. The 45% abv presentation also helps plump up with the body’s creaminess — which works well with the baking spice evident on the chewy finish. Fans of reposado tequilas should enjoy this expression, which spins things into a fruitier orbit while maintaining much of the essence of what makes a classic reposado great."
