The aroma opens warmly with inviting cooked agave, enveloped in a strong vegetal essence. A hint of alcohol is softened by delicate honey, lending a touch of sweetness that enhances its minerality, watery freshness, and a faint, peppery undertone. On the palate, the cooked agave takes center stage, complemented by a touch of brine and the rich depth of purple plum. A toasty, almost bready yeast flavor follows, bringing warmth reminiscent of honeydew, bright citrus, and a subtle touch of alcohol. Layers of prominent hay, smooth butter, light cinnamon, and a tang from pitted fruits round out the experience with piquant depth. The finish lingers gracefully, with minerality interwoven with soft sweetness, grassy hay, a hint of pepper, and a lasting touch of brine that leaves a refreshing, earthy impression.

Plenty of agave with citrus and a melon flavor. Also vegetal and mint it's very nice.

I can’t remember the last time I finished a bottle so fast! Well my father in law helped. Lots of agave, citrus, minerals, and pepper. I put smell and taste on the bottom half of excellent, finish on the high side of good and the price and availability is excellent. All of these great elements come in without too much of a bite, making it very easy to drink. Well done!

I get a nose of cooked agave and raw agave. It smells of minerals, citrus and earth. The taste is sweet cooked agave with olive and brine. I also get earth. It has a buttery mouthfeel with a nice finish

Nose: agave / pepper / banana/ orange peel / lemongrass / fruit / Taste: agave sweet/ pepper / hint of fruitiness / apple / mint / floral / Finish: a very light sweet and pepper taste that rolls into a a slightly bittersweet agave sweetness/ nice mouthfeel with a hint of mineral rainwater This tequila has some notes other than barrel taste/ …the vanilla is a bit over the top !

I get a little bit of mint brine and funk on the nose. cooked agave comes through with some orange and vanilla. The taste and finish seem true to the nose with the addition of a little more agave hints of vanilla and nutmeg. I enjoyed this one!

Citrus, yeast, brine, agave, peppers some funk. A good offering from Alma del Jaguar.

Strange nose, odd palate. Not for me. Very unique.

Sept 3, 2023 1 oz sample Nose very nice vegetal smoke agave mint brine a little alcohol which dissipates as it opens up. Palate good Finish lingering warmth which I like Nice legs

Another unique profile from the master Sergio Cruz! The nose is clean, pepper, cooked agave, bell pepper, and some citrus. On the palate it’s really nice. Rich mouthfeel, agave, pepper, and some citrus.

Super light neutral start, punch of roasted agave in the middle, and strong minerals + pepper on the back end.

Clean clear look, short legs, strong agave notes and citric on the nose. Flavor is cooked agave, earthy and mineral notes mixed with the agave and citrus. Medium finish with negligible burn. This may get the “smooth” label. No additives detected in the touch test. Solid tequila.

Love this old school flavor Blanco. Notes of white pepper and citrus with a clean and balanced finish. Lots of character in this bottle. A slight tint in color. A definite buy

Nose: Cooked agave, minerals, lime, mint, olive, brine, hay, lemongrass, and a hint of almond. Flavor: Light viscosity, black pepper, salt, brine, cooked agave is there, nice balance, sweetness with some significant citrus. Finish: A pleasant lingering heat that dissipates beautifully Very well made Blanco! Great job.

Really delicious, I've upgraded even higher, since my recent video review. Very unique and a very well made blanco

Minerals come through in this - double distilled make it a little dry in the tongue. Finish is warm but smooth.

Super clean aroma- grass, minerals tastes of sweet agave, minerals, and citrus. Clean finish little bit of pepper

nose is citrus, agave, mineral. taste is sweet, agave, pepper, fruity citrus that fades to mild anise. Finish is sweet anise, and pepper fades quickly but lingers mildly for a bit. There's a natural sweetness that I can't quite describe, but it is good and clean, prominent but not overly so. Good light sipper, be great in the summer watching a sunset. not an agave bomb.

Nose: sweet vanilla, grass, earth and cooked agave. Great mouthfeel - buttery, coats the entire mouth nicely. Sweet baked agave, melon, Black pepper lingering peppery finish

Its smooth and crisp profile is accented by notes of citrus, sweet agave, and a whisper of peppery spice, making it ideal for sipping neat or enhancing your favorite cocktails. Delivers a taste experience that is as bold and unique.

Fantastic nose, with strong cooked agave, good amount of mineral flavor, herbal, and light floral. But the taste falls a little short! You definitely get the cooked agave, citrus, mineral, anise, herbal, pepper, butter, and earthiness, but the back end has a slight funk to it… The finish is short, but clean. Bought a pour in San Antonio for ($4.50, happy hour) added point for the cheap price!

i get nothing from this. nose is subtle and flavor is subtle. not much burn either. its almost as if it doesnt register for my taste buds. Olmeca Altos which i consider a boring agave forward blanco has more flavor.
