[00:00:00] Hey, guys, you know what time it is?
[00:00:02] If you could see this watch.
[00:00:04] It says it's five o' clock somewhere.
[00:00:06] It's time for some Dano's dangerous tequila. And let's do the reposado today. All right, so I did have Michaela on. We did a great interview where she talked about the whole history of Dano's dangerous Tequila. And they're really known for one thing.
[00:00:21] This right here, the pineapple jalapeno blanco tequila. This, this is really awesome. It's already infused with pineapple and jalapeno. It's a great drink all by itself. But the key to this being good is the fact that their tequila is very solid and good as well. So let's talk about the reposado. This is coming out of NAM 1507, the Reyes Distillery, which is located right in Tequila. It was a very old distillery that had closed down. And when Dano is searching to make his jalapeno pineapple Tequila, he was really looking for someone that could make a fantastic tequila. So they found the Reyes family. They got them excited about opening the distillery. They actually went out and scraped the yeast and the bacteria off of the building to propagate the old family wild yeast to make this tequila. And boom, here we go. So this is their repo 7. They're using spring water, they're using stone, brick ovens, roller mill for the crushing. And these are all aged in American white oak barrels. And they're new, so they're not using like old barrels. So you don't have like a super deep color, which I like that it means it's not really being overly oaked or overly influenced. These guys do have a very agave forward tequila already. So to have it in a repo is really delicious. I. I drink this a lot. I use this as a sipper a lot of times. I also will make my margaritas when people come over out of this. I'll also make my palomas out of this. So the repo is great for mixing as well. Okay. So you, you get this agave flavor, like we talk about that flavor of it coming out of the stone ovens. But what's amazing on this is I also get a really fresh smell and I also get a very fruity smell, which being a lowlands agave, and the water from the lowlands usually is a little more mineral, a little more herbal, a little more vegetal than what this one smells like.
[00:02:18] And you do get just a little bit of that barrel note, a little bit of that barrel room smell. That oak. But the fruitiness is what really comes through for me. All right, let's give it a taste. Wow. So you get that barrel note, you get that agave, you get a lot of spice.
[00:02:33] I get a little bit of tobacco, a little bit of almost smokiness, and a little bit of caramelization. Taste or flavor. I don't know if that's from the agave itself or it's something coming over from the barrel.
[00:02:46] It's sweet, it's light, it's clean.
[00:02:51] It's got a really nice mouthfeel. And the peppery finish really kind of sneaks up on you in the end here. It's got a really nice finish that's really long. It kind of keeps going. So the. That tobacco and almost a dark chocolate as well on that fruity nose. And I will say that I get a little bit of, like, a dried fruit flavor as well in there. So this one is. You wouldn't think it'd be super complex, but it really is. It's. It's more complex than. Than what I was thinking it would be. Casa Reyes is making some fantastic tequila.
