Cava de Oro rests its reposado in French oak rather than the ex-bourbon American oak used across most of the category, which pushes the result toward fine spice and away from heavy vanilla. The competitor listing gives 38% ABV for this bottling; the house does not publish a single strength for every market. Golden in the glass, with a velvety mouthfeel that reviewers at TEQUILA.net singled out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, cooked agave, honey, vanilla, and a light herbal note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, caramel, white pepper, toasted oak, cinnamon, and a citrus-peel brightness the añejo has lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is medium in length, softly sweet, and noticeably round rather than sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReposado is the expression where a distillery's oak choice shows most plainly, because there isn't enough time in barrel to hide behind wood.
