K&L Notes

The Arette Reposado is one of our absolute favorite tequila. Here's why: it smells like fresh agave, despite the barrel aging, which only adds baking spices to the background of the bouquet. It is simultaneously graceful, yet spicy upon the first sip. It balances the bridge between smooth sipper and bright shooter like no other tequila I've tasted. The Arette is not new world, over-oaked, viscous monster like some other highly-touted tequilas I've tasted. It is subtle and beautiful, and it never gets old. We will always have a bottle in the home bar perfect for post-carnitas tacos indulgence and we can't recommend it highly enough.

I finally ponied up for the Arette Reposado the other night, after promising myself I would buy it eventually. I opened it for the staff before bringing it home, and everyone literally ooohed and ahhhed just smelling the nose in the glass. The aromas of pure blue agave are intoxicating. The delicacy and grace of the tequila as it slowly coats your mouth is even more impressive. By far the best tequila I have ever tasted; and I've had my share. Arette is known for being a hands-on, old-school distiller as well, so their reputation for quality craftsmanship lives up to the hype. I couldn't recommend it strongly enough.
