Nose: agave (raw) / smoke/ pepper/ lime/ lemongrass / orange peel / salt-brine Taste: sweet agave / cinnamon/ vanilla/ mineral/ banana/ cinnamon/ pear / melon/ grapefruit/ anise / cream soda Finish: very very light viscosity with a lingering agave sweetness and a very mild pepper and anise after taste. Super clean and enjoyable finish. This blanco is so sweet and delicious while being refreshing and giving a great finish. This could be a blanco sipper all day and turn into a great cocktail mixer, sort of like Superman switching back and forth from Clark Kent. It’s real superhero power is that it’s impossible to beat for the price!!!

Damn, this is such a solid blanco tequila. It never disappoints. Agave, vegetal notes, oily mouth feel, warm and slightly spicy (and buttery) finish. All the good things are here.

Nose- cooked agave, bright vegetal notes Taste- cooked agave, brine, black pepper great mouth feel Finish- long cooked agave notes, brine and black pepper Had the joy of rating this with the Tasting Panel Training Class.

Nose: Starts off with a mild kick of ethanol which dissipates into a spicy pepper with plenty of agave. Floral with hints of herbal notes. Flavor: Strong pleasant agave on the palate which is quickly followed by black pepper, spice, lemon and general citrus. Mild earthy undertones. Hard to beat this proven winner for the price point and quality. This is an old school example of what blancos should taste like

The aroma engulfs with deliciously strong minerality; anise, lime citrus, light prune notes are gathered with green pepper vegetal tones, and a hint of brine, complemented by the subtle presence of cooked sweet potato. On the palate, the same distinct minerality found in the aroma prevails, accompanied by pepperiness, light brine, raisin sweetness, mint and candied yams. The non-abrasive alcohol tone is notably palatable, adding a warm complexity to the experience. The finish maintains the continual thread of minerality, with hints of herbal freshness and slight pepperiness gradually lingering on the tongue, creating a harmonious conclusion.

Such a solid blanco. Aroma was lots of cooked agave and very vegetal along with wet earth, citrus, and grass. On the palate those aromas carried forward. There is lots of cooked agave, very vegetal, some black pepper and an earthy component with citrus fruits. I was able to pick this up at my local Costco for $40 so extra points on the value. Overall a very solid blanco.

Aroma of sweet vegetal agave, but with a dusty layer Vanilla throughout the mid-palate finish matched with tropical fruitiness, cooked pineapple, melon. A bit hotter… Nice elongated finish with a sweet peppery profile

This is an excellent tequila for the price. It is what you want from a good blanco. Agave and pepper on the nose. Earth and citrus. Minerals and a bit of mint. On the tongue, you get agave and pepper. It does have a bit more alcybite that I’d want but it doesn’t overwhelm the citrus and mineral taste. I do get a touch of butter on the finish. This is a great value tequila that I highly recommend.

Black pepper, cooked agave, minerality, great complexity. One of the best!

Amazing nose, smells like christmas in a glass! Also some oak/caramel in there as it swirls, some hints of cinnamon, mint, allspice even, very great aroma! Taste is right there matching the aroma, very delicious blanco, up there with the Ocho Plata Nacimiento for me, will be stocking up on this.

Malolactic with cooked agave. Some pepper at the end.

A – Amazing aroma had me shuffling all around the aroma wheel. I could only imagine what some time in a barrel would do to this already complex, yet balanced, tequila. I’m getting tropical and citrus fruits, baking spice, wide floral ranges, earthy minerals, herbs, and the constant of baked potato and cooked agave. T – Similar to the aroma, it danced around quite a bit between the cooked agave, black pepper, buttery, olive, yeast, wet cement, and a strong cola flavor. This is delicious. F – The ending was as complex as the first two-thirds. I’m picking up a minty, copper combo briefly, before giving way to sweet almond, clove, and allspice. Nice heat on the way down. Overall – I’d drink this every day; can’t wait to find out what it is and hope I have plenty in my collection.

From blind tasting: On the nose I get an earthy and citrusy tone with some floral notes. The taste matches the nose, with some cooked agave, mint and pepper in there on the finish.

Blind: Aroma: stone, fresh cut grass. Definitely a malolactic smell to this, but much subtler than Atanasio. I like this aroma Taste: mellows out drastically from the nose. Soft minerality, a subtle Cheesiness (the perfect amount), stone, red fruit. A lot going on but all subtle Oily mouthfeel. Feels like a layer hangs around in your mouth Finish: soft. Medium length. Like im nibbling a cheese board. Yum This is a tequila i would love to have in my shelf for when i was craving a malolactic taste. I wouldnt reach for it all the time, but it would always treat me well when i did Aroma: i like the nose. Cooked agave, vanilla, minerals Taste: not near as good as the nose. The agave is present and i pick up minerality Mouth / finish: hard to describe but a light finish in which i can feel the buzz of the alcohol sitting there. “High pitched”. It disipates quickly but leaves a buzzing which i like I like this tequila but wouldnt rave about it

On the palate, atomic agave bomb, it almost overwhelms everything else in the best way possible. Some fruity and citrusy notes, and you can smell the minerals. It’s earthy, and very robust. Some kind of herb that I can’t quite place my finger on. Almost like basil. Tastes Sweet, crisp and clean agave goodness. Definitely getting the minerals and citrus. Very mineral heavy and earthy. I can clearly see how this becomes the añejo. Very good, excellent. A top 10 blanco for me easy.

The best Blanco I have ever head. Very earthy Blanco. Highly recommend.

Had the Mexican version side by side with the American release, and I have to say the Mexican was better. Same ABV, different bottle shape. American: Agave on the nose, with flavors of agave, pepper, and some celery on the back end. It has a light peppery short finish. Tasted at the distillery and this is growing on me. Solid blanco!

Cooked agave forward

This is for the liter version available only in Mexico. Although one of the most pirated spirit in Mexico if you can find a true liter bottle. The punch in the face of vegetal and agave notes is inspiring. All time favorite go to tequila

Nose is a little reluctant, but it’s a beautiful combo of white pepper, raw agave, and lemongrass. Attack is a bit hot, with a ton of lemongrass, pepper, and wet cement. Not savory in the least. Super long finish. I can see this not being everyone’s cup of tea, but I love it!

Strong agave aroma with a mixture of alcohol, black pepper and minerals. Consistent flavor in sync with aroma. Long finish.

Sweet with agave and strong notes of black pepper and earthy flavors. Excellent tequila for sipping.

Aroma: Sweet cooked agave and citrus. Taste: Clean on the pallet with light lime citrus, very clean and smooth. Finish: Cooked agave with a strong pepper and slightly grassy finish, with some lime. Long lasting finish. Update from a blind test: Aroma: Harder to discern, a very light citrus and cooked agave, earthy aroma, wet and herbal, mainly basil. Taste: Pleasant and silky mouthfeel, as well as cooked agave and herbs. Finish: Vegetal forward, black pepper, cooked agave, and somewhat bitter

Very good blonco. Strong agave, pepper, vegetable, and mineral smell. Nice cooked agave up front on the taste paired with vegetable like green pepper and a nice mild peppery finish. I like it

Excellent traditional tequila with some warmth
