Aroma/Taste: The aroma is a delightful mix of cola, citrus (lime, grapefruit), with underlying notes of cooked agave, floral rose, lavender, and orange blossom. Interestingly, there are unexpected hints of butterscotch, caramel, ginger, and butter—flavors typically associated with barrel aging, which is surprising for a blanco. On the palate, the taste is complex, featuring mint, white pepper, and floral notes. Finish: The finish is warm and lengthy, with flavors of lime, anise, and black pepper heat. Although the first sip had a harsh finish, it settled in nicely and became quite pleasant over time. Overall: When tasted blind, this tequila stands out as very good. It has a cola and medicinal forward profile, with sweet cooked agave and citrus notes that I thoroughly enjoy.

TMM Blind Tasting:2025 Aroma opens with cooked agave’s sweet potato essence, joined by petrichor, almond, anise, and a touch of ethyl. On the palate, cooked agave shows raisin and prune depth, layered with citrus, anise, vegetal tones, spearmint, cinnamon, and an herbal thread. The finish is thin but lasting, with lingering agave, light salinity, and grapefruit citrus.

Agave, pepper, briny on the nose and palate. There is a note that I can’t quite place – not sure if it’s just the floral, or something else. I get more of the briny on the finish, which is a bit light.

Citrus welcomes with agave and a trail of earthy green herbs. Dry finish. Nice to see the new additive-free designation. 83 Blind TMM notes: Very distinct. Unique minty floral grassy woody aroma that might resemble eucalyptus. Flavor follows with agave and a cool mint that’s slightly medicinal with memories of Halls menthol. 80

Aroma: a lot of cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla up front. There’s a green element that lingers. Definitely get cooked agave and a bit of mint. Flavor: a lot of cooked agave and mint. Cinnamon really shines through. There’s a hint of citrus as well. On the sweeter side but drinks very clean. Finish lingers for a while and reminds me of big red chewing gum. So much cinnamon sweetness on this blanco. Overall I think this is a really solid blanco. It’s a little on the sweeter side which I think would make it perfect for someone looking to make drinks or just getting into tequila while looking for an additive free option.

Aroma: rich sweet oranges, sweet Mexican cinnamon, cooked agave, citrus, white sugar, herbs, brine/salt, vanilla Flavors: sweet Mexican cinnamon (wow!), clove, cooked agave, Pallet: the Mexican cinnamon lingers for a long time, it really lasts. It’s a unique flavor but I really enjoy it in this tequila. Over all, this is unique in the best ways. Mexican flavors come out strong. It’s complex and flows well from nose to tongue to finish. Yum!

Aroma is very nice wet agave- anise- vegetal- citrus grapefruit and grass…herbal. On the palate it’s a wonderful cooked agave- minerality- grass-herbal basil- grapefruit- pepper- slight numbing- and maybe olive. Finished is nice- pepper- spice agave with a herbal grassiness lasting about 2 minutes. Slightly numbing.

On the nose the blanco is clean and simple, I get soft cooked agave, citrus, with a hint of mint and anise. On the palate, I get that agave, mint, and some citrus, with some salinity and earthiness with a slightly astringent aftertaste almost like biting into grapefrut rind.

Mexican 40% abv., round bottle with a blue plastic twist cap and fun stopper, the top part of the bottle is blue and the bottom is transparent, looks like an older version, no lot code nor bottling date, acquired recently, tasted on 6-7-24. Aromas: salty cooked agave, briny, slightly earthy, light acidity, hint of white pepper, it becomes brinier as time goes by and dominates. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, briny aromas and flavor dominates, but after 30 minutes it becomes a tad sweet. Finish is medium to medium long, light salty cooked agave with a hint of sweetness at the very end, hint of earthiness with a hint of acidity persists.
