 | 	- When it comes to tequila, the staff at Reposados know their stuff. We headed to Reposados on a cold February Monday night. The crowd was light so we decided to sit right at the bar to have a good view of what they had on the shelf.
There were so many choices! I was like a kid in a candy store. 
Right away our awesome bartender Jason suggested Clase Azul Reposado. A mid-price range tequila from the Arandas region of Jalisco Mexico. Not only was this one of the best tequila I've ever tasted but it comes in a beautiful tall Talavera bottle. This tequila is aged in old Bourbon, Cognac and Sherry casks, which give it a very smooth and complex flavour.
After the Clase Azul, I was ready to get my taste buds to work. We moved on to the broader Mescal category (Monday night Mescal special!). Jason suggested the Jaral de Barrio. Again, he was right on the money with this suggestion. It's served with a sangrita chaser (tomato juice with chopped jalapeƱo and a pinch of salt), which helps bring out the earthy flavour of the Jaral. Since Mescal's can bit a little hit or miss, I was glad we got to enjoy a really good one.
Sipping on these delicious tequilas, the night started to zip by. My friend tried their tequila infused pineapple drink. You definitely have to watch out for that one. Although it doesn't taste like anything but pineapple juice, it's still a good 38% alcohol content!
I finished the night with a pint of tasty Delirium (on tap!).
Because we went on a Monday night, they just had some tunes playing in the background, but on weekends, they also have their own local jazz quartet called the Reposadists, which are apparently very good.
