El Jimador Reposado Tequila, 70 cl

Product Information

As with all Herradura tequila, this starts as a crop of blue agave plants which are harvested and have their leaves removed. What remains is the tough and fibrous core of the plant, which is cooked in an oven to convert those fibers into sugar. The plants are then crushed to release the fluid, and that fluid is fermented to convert the sugar into alcohol. At this point, it is distilled three times to create the new blanco tequila.

Thirty-One Whiskey is a blog devoted to the appreciation of good whiskey, fine cigars, and the value of a hard day’s work in the wood shop. Like other El Jimador tequilas, Blanco uses only pure Weber blue agave. These notes are present throughout the spirit and are joined on the nose with fresh citrus, vegetal, and light wood aromas. On The Palate el Jimador Mexican Lime & el Jimador Mango Mango: Tequila Specialty, Alc. 35% by Vol. (70 proof). Imported by Brown-Forman, Louisville, KY.

Blanco is El Jimador’s take on silver tequila or tequila that hasn’t spent any time ageing in oak barrels. Because of that, this vibrant tequila is fresh and crystal clear. The old distillery was shut down in the 1960’s and replaced with a newer modern facility, but the old buildings were maintained as a museum. In the 1970’s, the company introduced their first aged expressions, expanding beyond blanco tequila for the first time. Warm, seasoned flavors with smooth agave shining through, el Jimador Reposado is made with 100% blue Weber agave and double distilled. It is then aged for two months in our own charred American white oak barrels. It's perfect for any occasion. Taste: Sweet vanilla and caramel, woody, with hints of cedar, earth, soft spices, cassia and vegetal agaveSince 2007, the brand has slowly become more internationally recognized. When Brown-Forman bought it, the brand was sold in fifty-three countries. Today, it is sold in 136 countries through the Brown-Forman network in Europe, South America, North America, and Asia. [12] [13] Its market share in the United States and other countries has been growing as well. [9] Facilities [ edit ] Traditional oven in which the agave heart is baked at the Herradura tequila factory in Amatitán between Guadalajara and Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico

The hacienda is part of the tourism sector of the area's economy as well, with the Tequila Express train arriving at it and Amatitán from Guadalajara. [16] Products [ edit ] An earthy flavour characterised by oak-aged agave, cinnamon, and butterscotch. Delicious sweetness lingers throughout, and the caramel notes are an undisputed highlight.Given the poor showing with the ice, I thought for sure that there would be nothing redeeming in the margarita. But I was wrong, there actually is something interesting here. Fresh agave and citrus upfront that is soon warmed by spices and sweet vanilla and cinnamon mid-palate. A hint of hazelnuts follows while the vegetal note is well-balanced and earthy with a moreish heated finish of agave, oak and spice. Best Served

This Reposado impresses with notes of vanilla, baked apple, cinnamon, fresh agave, and oak. On The Palate What truly sets this blanco tequila apart from rival brands is its smoothness. Despite not being aged, El Jimador Blanco is as smooth and easy to drink as another distiller’s reposado variant and mixes well. On The Nose New Mix is a canned tequila and grapefruit soda drink with five percent alcohol. It is also the best-selling product of its type in Mexico.

I found the light/medium body & smoothness to be the highest qualities of this spirit. The finish was short/medium with traces of cooked agave & a little aging. Still a decent tequila but not great! Palate: Sweet vanilla and caramel, woody, with hints of cedar, earth, soft spices, cassia and vegetal agave. The return of El Jimador 100% Agave Reposado, NOM 1119 which I obviously found to be much more enjoyable than the mixto version. Why they put this 100% agave tequila on moth balls for four years I'll never know. The price was almost exactly the same.
