Nice oily legs in the glass. Aroma has an initial hit of alcohol. I just opened the bottle, so I let it rest for a while. Now I get cooked agave, citrus and grass. Flavor of cooked agave, black pepper and citrus. The black pepper spiciness lingers for a nice, long while.
I really well priced Blanco, balance, very clean, light heat, black pepper, herbal, citrus and good minerality.
after further evaluation since my video review, I am rating this an 88
Sweet agave, minerals, brine, black pepper, and jalapeño. Pleasantly surprised.
Aroma: black pepper, cooked agave, earth, wet grass, butter, salt brine, eucalyptus. Really nice nose. Reminds of a warm cologne in a way. Flavor: lemon zest, cooked agave, hints of vanilla and cinnamon, some minerality which reminds me of a fresh rain, and a soft vegetal finish with a lingering smoky element. The is a really nice supper. Not overly complex but still keeps you guessing. Mouth feel is very soft and leans more viscous. Almost no burn whatsoever. Very solid blanco!
Tastes old school, sweet and clean. Good value considering it’s ~500 MXN. Perfect for sipping or mixing, would recommend as a budget option easily available in Mexico.
Once I open this screw top bottle I get a nice whiff of fresh agave. After pouring a sample into my stolzle jarrito I can see the nice legs and tears. The agave scent is very pleasant. It’s clean and accompanied with a slight vegetal note, faint minerality and some subtle sweetness. There’s some crisp citrus too but mostly it’s just good clean cooked agave that’s free from any defects. - The taste is balanced with the nose. It’s full of clean agave and there’s some natural sweetness that typically follows cooked agave. The citrus is stronger on the palate than the nose and some nice pepper appears on the finish. There’s a nice alcohol tingle and some building heat. The sweetness and pepper linger but the sweetness fades first. - Overall this is a good quality blanco tequila that you can sip on but it’s bold enough that it should hold up in a cocktail nicely.
Aug 18, 2023 Tasted at monroe liquor store I was pleasantly surprised by this expression. really didn't have high expectations since it came out of NOM 1416 I enjoyed it tho I didn't get a lot of complexity and the finish was short. however, since I was sipping out of little plastic sample cups, I want to revisit from a proper tasting glass
This expression is good and has an appealing framework: Cooked agave, herbal, vegetal, citrus, low alcohol intake, grass, and kick of cinnamon/spices at the end. Slightly bitter and some minerality can be perceived. Wish it was a bit cheaper, maybe in the $30-35 range, since it has pretty good competitors at its current MSRP of $45
Mil Nueve Cuarenta as the bottle says is made to reminisce about how tequila used to be, single state agave (sic), brick ovens, deep well water, your own yeast, pot still distillation, and now confirmed additive free. Some other info is included on the bottle such as altitude, filtering and that this is produced by 100% Mexican owned distillery, an important distinction in an era of multinational brand and facility ownership. For me this succeeds in the execution of these bottle bullets, providing a very nice sipping experience and I look ahead to the Reposado in the US. How does it taste? Completely clean with decent viscosity and oil and with a ton of natural sweetness and surprisingly mild taste of ethanol for all the peppery sweetness carried by it. Bottled on 18/05/2023 and tastes very fresh It’s a screw top too, though opening the bottle wasn’t as easy as that implies.
Aroma: Not a strong, forceful nose, but a uniquely interesting nose. Lots of contrasting notes. Baking spice and grassiness. Green agave with a touch of eucalyptus. Lemon/orange citrus fragrance. Ripe pineapple rind, vegetal nuances and an undercurrent of finely ground white pepper. Flavor: Cinnamon Graham Cracker entrance. Picks up steam with warming pepper, clean estuary salinity, agave and late blooming floral elements. Medium weight and body. A hint of bitterness. The dominant pepper and natural sweetness finish take their time bidding goodbye.
This is a traditionally-made and confirmed additive-free tequila, and I’m excited to see it coming from Campo Azul. Don’t automatically dismiss this one because it comes from NOM 1416, you’ll be missing out.
Had to come back to this one- initially scored a little higher- couldn’t quite pin down but overall found to be ok. Nose, strong vegetal notes along with agave. Mint, grass. On the palate same vegetal notes, sweet cooked agave, faint green onions. Medium mouthfeel, spice/pepper hits mid palate and lasts through the finish. Almost feels like a higher proof abv but bottle says 40%. Letting it breathe and mellow helps. Finish is long , vegetal notes remain with a faint bitterness before mellowing into a cooked agave finish.
This is a great value Blanco tequila. On the nose I get a really earthy cooked agave smell with some wet grass I also get a brains with a little black pepper The taste there’s a pleasant sweetness and a nice cooked agave flavor with some brine and minerals The finish brings a nice tingle on the back of the tongue with a slight taste of cinnamon and mint. Very good
Can’t pass for the price! Traditionally crafted, no activated charcoal & additive free printed on label
The score here really shines through on Value. This has a high end taste for the price!
Great brine on the nose and good agave sweetness on the palate, mint/pepper on the finish with slight bitterness
Worth trying for the price.

For $35 here in Jersey this stuff is great. Cheap Enough to make cocktails with but I actually prefer this as a sipper. This stuff is great ! AGAVE AGAVE AGAVE
Solid Blanco. Sipper for sure. Nice clean agave forward taste with almost perfect minerality. Very smooth with good bite.
Let me start off by saying I got this at a huge bargain price. It was $29.99. I couldn't pass it up. It's pretty good but not great. Agave on the nose and very briny. Taste has a decent amount of agave and olive brine. It's incredibly viscous and there is a bit of cilantro and green pepper in the back of the throat. Finish is medium thanks to the thick mouth feel. As a smack my lips and roof of my month I start to get some anise and chives on the back of the tongue. While I wouldn't seek this out over other Blancos I love, for this price it's excellent. If it was more than $40 I would probably pass it up for something else. While it isn't unique in any way, it does the basics very well. You won't be disappointed in that respect.
For around $40 this is a good buy. Very green on the nose… olive present, jalapeño and brine…on the taste.. a spicy and peppery alcohol heat… green, mint and a bit of anise bitterness.., medium finish.
Solid blanco . Good price point. Strong peppery taste which is my wheelhouse. Pleasantly surprised and definitely will buy again.
