Jose Cuervo Tradicional
by admin on Apr.21, 2007, under spirit, tequila
Background: This is probably the single most recognizable brand of tequila. The Tradicional is a tequila reposado, aged in white oak barrels; each bottle is numbered. (Mine's 32714, if you were wondering.)
Nose: Fruity dirt.
Taste: Lightly oaked dirt.
(Dilute.)
Nose: Why bother? Fruitier dirt.
Taste: Oak is more prominent.
Overall: DO NOT WANT. I call it “dirt” because I can't place the taste. I don't drink tequila, so possibly this is what it's supposed to taste like; if so, I can't imagine why anyone would drink it.
