So, guys, I’ve been meaning to tell you about this little adventure I had with Villa Lobos Tequila. You know I’m always up for trying something new, especially when it comes to spirits. And let me tell you, this one was quite the experience.
It all started when I heard about this tequila, Villa Lobos. It’s not just any tequila, it’s a 100% agave tequila. I read that it’s made from hand-picked agave grown in the Camarena family-owned plantations. Sounded pretty legit, right? The story goes that it’s the result of a collaboration between two of the world’s most respected and trusted family experts on tequila and spirits respectively.
I got my hands on a bottle of Villa Lobos Reposado. Apparently, this one’s rested for 6 months in tanks before it’s aged for about 4 years in ex-American bourbon oak barrels. I mean, who does that? I had to try it.
First Impressions
- The Look: The bottle looked classy, and the tequila itself had a beautiful golden color.
- The Smell: I took a whiff, and it was, well, interesting. A mix of that agave scent with a hint of something sweet. Maybe the bourbon barrels?
The Tasting
I poured myself a glass, neat of course. I wanted to get the full, unadulterated experience. The first sip, whoa. It was smooth, but it had a kick. Not a bad kick, mind you. It was like a warm hug that slowly turned into a gentle punch. The taste? It had that distinct agave flavor, but there was also something else. A hint of sweetness, maybe some vanilla, and a bit of oakiness. It was like a party in my mouth, and everyone was invited.
The Aftermath
I enjoyed a couple more glasses throughout the evening. No crazy hangover the next day, which is always a plus. I think I might have found a new favorite tequila. I even tried making a margarita with it, and let me tell you, it was on another level.
Final Thoughts
Would I recommend Villa Lobos Tequila? Absolutely. It’s a bit pricey, but hey, you get what you pay for. And in this case, you’re paying for quality. It’s smooth, it’s flavorful, and it’s got a story behind it. What more could you ask for?
So, that’s my Villa Lobos Tequila adventure. Hope you guys enjoyed the ride. Until next time, stay thirsty, my friends!
