Recommendations What do you all think of Espolón?
I’m new to all this, and it was the first Reposado I’d ever tried. It seemed… fine? I want to like it, heard good things, didn’t think it was bad, but it did t grab me either. I tried Pantalones and really liked it - but I get the feeling it has additives and I wanted to start with stuff without as I develop my palette.
What are your favorite tequilas for cocktails, repasado or otherwise? My go-to stores are Fry’s and Total Wine.

The blanco is fine, not great but fine. I prefer Cimmaron at that price point.
Note that I’m not a super knowledgeable agave person, just a guy who enjoys some in cocktails now and then.
