Alcohol on the nose. Agave, pepper, anise, and vegetal flavors. Tastes better than it smells.

Nice and light…. Agave and pepper upfront on taste with some vegetal and light bit of citrus. Very nice

Flavor and finish come through nicely but I don't love it. I've tried it many times hoping to come around. Has steep competition being in the $50 range but glad I tried it as you can't go wrong with a Tahona made product.

I really like this Tahona version of her blanco. Great citrus notes over cooked agave, showing more balance than I expected. Delicious!

Bright and floral nose, a post-rain earthiness vibe with a touch of citrus. Medium body, nice legs on the glass. Immediately get cooked agave with a touch of banana, moving quickly to pepper and a satisfying heat on the roof of the mouth. Relatively brief finish, but there is complexity hanging around much longer. A commendable pour.

Really great nose, not roasted agave but some earthy notes that make me wanna dive in and try. This distillery has a house style of nutty flavour that I’m guessing comes from the yeast, I definitely want more agave present but it’s nice enough to sip on.

Aroma: Round, roasted, caramelized, brown sugary agave. Peach, licorice and a slight citrus note. Spicy with a perfume/floral element. Flavor: Huge agave flavor here, with complex richness. Oily. Pleasing cinnamon, cloves, anise, vanilla meld. Pepper pulling up the rear. Longish finish with some heat and licorice.

Wonderful aroma, grassy and just a hint of ripe citrus. Finish is ok, slightly astringent, but not a deal breaker.

Quite herbal in smell with some fennel notes. Quite spicy on entry with a really nice mouth feel. Some of the fennel is there in the mouth as well as great agave presence. A quick fade of flavors resolve to some prolonged tongue buzz from alcohol. Pretty good stuff.

Nice to see this tahona-made product entering the marketplace. Another win for legitimate artisanal tequila! This has a nice grassy herbal aroma with some anise. Nice oily mouth feel, and a shorty but slightly spicy finish.

I’m not one who really has really been able to pick out various spices, herbs, or notes that sound like they belong in a men’s cologne. I wouldn’t generally know anise if it jumped up and bit me, until it finally did. San Matias Tahona. Alrighty. Nose: That sweet licorice-like smell is right up front along with citrus. Also pepper and an herbal quality, but not getting a large amount of agave. Overall I like it, but that lack of agave concerned me. Palate: It’s that sweet anise, but that’s about it. There’s pepper and alcohol. Slight agave. Didn’t even really get the citrus from the nose. Short, peppery finish. It’s thin, watery, and overall underwhelming. I’ll mix with it or let the neighbor who comes over bumming my tequila drink it. I really wanted to like it, but there you go.

Had this at the GOAT in Carmel In. This is a blanco that can be sipped but would also work in a multitude of cocktails. Additive free which I like. Very crisp and clean taste of agave with vegetal notes. Not my favorite blanco but worth a try. This is one I’d order at a bar to sample and go from there.

Nose-A little too sweet and alcohol too prominent for a Tahona product. Palette- Too thin and sweet. Good for a cocktail.

Had the San Maria’s Tahona in Cost Rica. This was the only good tequila available for purchase at the Liberia Airport. It got the job done, beat the hell out of what was available at the resort. I felt like everyone was just a little short from being a great tequila. Thin mouthfeel and short finish.

Floral and fruit on nose. Touch of sweetness and minty on taste with more alcohol coming through than I would have liked. Good value for a Tahona based on today's prices but lacking depth.

San Matias Tahona Blanco – “Rock Star”

There’s a lot to love about this particular tequila, and the name alone makes one reason clear. Any tequila that involves a tahona in the production process will win a special place in our heart, and this one is no exception.
