IZKALI® Reposado, a tastefully smooth 100% blue agave tequila, won top honors for the Classic Paloma, earning the Chairman’s Trophy in the 2011 Ultimate Cocktail Challenge.
Spirits were judged on the 100-point rating system in multiple rounds. Spirits that scored highly in the first round went through to the second round where they were evaluated again by different panels of judges. The highest scorers from the second round were then forwarded to the final round where the highest scoring spirit in each cocktail category was awarded the coveted Ultimate Cocktail Challenge Chairman’s Trophy.
Excellent, Highly Recommended (94/100)
F. Paul Pacult, editor of Spirit Journal described IZKALI® Reposado Tequila saying the mellow, slightly cocoa-like nose is deep and vanilla-like. In the mouth, the taste profile is multilayered, peppery, and lusciously supple. An elegant spirit that is perfect in a Paloma.
The IZKALI® Reposado Tequila also placed as a top finalist for the Classic Margarita and the IZKALI® Silver Tequila was given a Very Good – Strong Recommendation with the Tequila Sunrise.
