Beskrivelse

What happens when traditional tequila meets carefully toasted oak? Today I’m reviewing the Paladar Toasted Series Reposado, an additive-free tequila produced at the historic El Llano Distillery (NOM 1109) and crafted by Eduardo Orendain Jr., a fifth-generation member of one of tequila’s founding families. This isn’t your typical reposado. The Toasted Series explores how different toasted oak profiles influence flavor while still allowing the agave to shine. Produced using estate-grown agave, brick ovens, open-air fermentation, wild yeast, and small-batch craftsmanship, this tequila offers a unique take on barrel-aged tequila. In this review I’ll break down: Production methods Toasted oak influence Aroma and tasting notes Mouthfeel and finish Whether it’s worth adding to your collection I also recently sat down with Paladar co-founder Pete Nevenglosky to discuss the philosophy behind the brand and what makes the Toasted Series different from traditional reposados. If you enjoy additive-free tequila reviews, tequila education, distillery deep dives, and honest tasting notes, make sure to subscribe. #Tequila #PaladarTequila #Reposado #AdditiveFreeTequila #TequilaReview #NOM1109 #Agave #TastingTequilaWithBrad

I Thought This Tequila & Red Bull Combo Would Be Awful... I Was Wrong

I Thought This Tequila & Red Bull Combo Would Be Awful... I Was Wrong Can Coconut Berry Red Bull and Reposado Tequila actually work together? In this episode of my Red Bull & Tequila series, I mix Pedro Furtivo Reposado with Coconut Berry Red Bull to see if this unexpected combination creates a cocktail worth drinking. What started as a flavor experiment turned into one of the biggest surprises of the series. With notes of cooked agave, vanilla, caramel, oak, coconut, and berry, this tropical-inspired cocktail might be much better than expected.
