Rey Sol

From TequilaClub

[edit] Rey Sol Review

REY SOL 100% de Agave is the extra-aged tequila par excellence from "Casa San Matias". Among the finest tequilas available, it undergoes careful aging for at least five years in the finest oak barrels, under the strict scrutiny that only the "Casa San Matias" distillers give to their products.

To design a bottle with a personality worthy of presenting a truly distinguished Tequila, it was procured the services of a renowned artist, Sergio Bustamante, whose work has received acclaim in Mexico and around the world. REY SOL, like all the fine liquors of the world, is meant to be enjoyed by itself.

[edit] Josh's thoughts

A premium tequila without any doubt. Slightly sweet with a touch of vanilla and butterscotch similar to 1942 but much more subdued. It has more a proper tequila flavor than the 1942.

I finally bought my own bottle and here goes the first taste... Wait, smell first - mellow and sweet - very promising... Sweet, butterscotch (good call on that one Josh), very clean vanilla after - almost no bite, but did grab me in the back of the throat just for a moment - kinda like playing rough (yes, i think of tequila as being much like women). Very mellow flavor (second taste) - nice tingle, gentler now - oh, this is heaven - reminds me of the HSS in a way with that hint of sweet and the clean wonderful after. The agave flavor is very subdued, as much as the '42 (which is too sweet for clean-palette drinking but good for 2nd or 3rd glass after you've had a bit of the HSS or Gran Reserva). It is definitely much like the '42, but also definitely better. Glass is empty; i must be done. :)
