Reposado Single Origin Tequila

The aroma is relatively subdued but includes pleasant touches of oak and vanilla, with a background of roasted agave that is typical of reposado tequilas. Some tasters may also detect a faint citrusy scent, adding a fresh element to its bouquet​.

On the palate, Avion Reposado is smooth and velvety, marked by its core flavors of vanilla and coconut, which segue into a mild, smoky profile. The inclusion of herbal and mineral undertones along with a hint of menthol adds depth, while a very gentle alcoholic burn on the swallow describes its finish as smooth and savory​.

The finish is quite dry and savory, lingering with the taste of agave and a slight brininess. This tequila leaves a clean and pleasant aftertaste, making it suitable for sipping neat or in cocktails​.

Avion Tequila was launched in 2009 by Ken Austin, a tequila enthusiast and entrepreneur, along with Jenna Fagnan, and celebrity rapper Jeezy, who also played a significant role in promoting the brand. The brand gained significant popularity and cultural cachet in part due to its feature on the HBO series "Entourage," where it was fictionally portrayed as a project of one of the characters.
