Oro Azul Resposado. Double distilled and 100% blue agave, Oro Azul Reposado is rested for over six months. It has a deep old gold color with pickling spice and sweet, creamy nougat aromas. A round entry leads to a dryish medium-bodied palate with creamy caramel, faint brown spices and ripe tropical citrus fruits. Finishes in a very lengthy, fruity manner, with nutty toffee and spice notes. Well-knit, balanced and delicious. As with any delicious tequila, be careful and hide your car keys.
I found this stuff on a business trip to East Bay area of California, brought it home and loved it more than any Cabo or Don Julio. Then a few weeks later I noticed my local liquor store carried it!!!! Sad story though. It was my last night in California and I was traveling with a collegue. We found this great upscale Mexican restaurant that has a tequila bar with over 100 brands. We spent some time sampling and he never gave me any indication of being a light weight and I thought he was doing fine. Once we walked out the door to walk back to the car, I noticed he wasn't walking straight. He fell asleep in the car on the way back to the hotel so I had to wake him up once we got back to the hotel. As soon as I woke him up, he projectile vomited all over the dash board of my rental car. Lesson learned? Don't mix tequilas I would say. I'm not sure why I was perfectly fine and he was staggering. He's got at least 30 pounds on me.
