Tasted this at the distillery. This one uses an artisanal process, with the unusual step of adding fibers in the distillation process and is organic. Aromas of cooked agave, herbal, pear, lemon, thyme and minerals. Flavors of cooked agave, black pepper, butter, herbal and minerals. Has a medium-long finish.

Tequila Trujillo Cuarenta NOM1634 Cuarenta is their 40%ABV Blanco. It’s Organic and Kosher. This is meant to be an intro supper and cocktail king. It’s just over $40. This bottle is Lot 1! Let’s nose and sip some. There’s some nice aromas emanating from my CTC Jarrito Glass. It’s like you washed your clothes in clean fresh agave juice. You get the clean scent of fresh washed clothes but instead of a fake fragrance it’s agave! There’s some nice minerality and hints of bright citrus. There’s some lemongrass oils and a touch of white pepper. It’s a clean and fresh nose. Let’s taste it! The first flavors that hit my palate are citrus oils and green agave. The minerality and a light vegetal note follow. The mildly peppery finish starts to appear. The body is slightly thin but overall this is a good 80 proof blanco that’s not too challenging and I believe it’s perfect for ranch waters and other blanco tequila cocktails.

Respectable, sweet, light cooked agave and mint notes, with a medium finish.

This one smells like honey. I also get sweet cooked agave. It is also minty. Melon is present as well as a bit of cherry. On the palate, taste is overpowered by alcohol. It does have the honey, and the agave. The finish is a bit much. It isn’t bad but not great.

N- green agave, olive, white pepper, hay, herbs, wet pavement, nutmeg. T- caramelized agave, nutmeg, stewed fruits, faint vanilla MF- thin F- short and sweet

Aroma: Earthy, yet mellow, with fruit notes that bring to mind melon mainly. Some herbal elements are present as well, thyme and perhaps allspice layered over a light sweetness. Flavor: Anise, and a fair bit of it, while the other flavors mimic the aroma, with those earthy herbal notes of thyme and allspice blended with melon and a hint of sour sweetness. Finish: Continues with the same notes present in the flavor, but also brings in a hit of black pepper that is mellowed by that same sweetness from the aroma and the flavor.

Aroma/Taste: On the nose is stone fruit, yeast, dill, cooked agave, mint, and some savory herbs. The taste is pepper and mint. Finish: The finish is spicy with a medicinal touch, plus a hint of maraschino cherry. Overall: Tasted blind, this one was a bit too medicinal and harsh for my liking.

Nice legs that flow slowly. On the nose brine, earth and some citrus. Taste-nice silky mouthfeel with agave, nutmeg and citrus (lime) leading the front that flows into a light anise to balance it out and ends with a very light peppery finish.

Sample #5 • Visual: clear with a thin clear edge • Initial nasal impact: slightly warming • Aroma: musty, citrus - lemon oil, herbal - thyme + tarragon, green bell pepper • Mouthfeel: drying w/generous alcohol • Flavor: wet limestone, olive, saline, anise (or fennel), lime leaf, pepper • Finish: long with all flavors noted lingering on the palate. Dry finish

A deep clean nose of agave, citrus, floral notes,fresh lime, minerals, and fresh rain. Starts with great cooked agave, honey butter, minerality, spearmint, melon, and pepper followed by a pleasant finish.

Some medicinal notes on the nose overriding the cooked agave aroma, but has a nice entry with a bit of bite, a slight catch at the back of the throat to let you know this IS tequila. More bitter than sweet on the finish this is quite tannic for a Blanco. Interesting...

Fruity with aromas of grapefruit, peach, mint, cooked agave, and anise. While plenty of fruit present in the aroma, that fruitiness was "tapped" down to not overwhelming the taste. A nice "zing" in the mouth too, coupled with a tad honey Ness. Finish was pleasant although there was a sourness for a moment in time.

Strong cooked agave and vegetal aromas on the nose. Taste is cooked agave, floral, minerality.

Increíble sabor

Poco fuerte pero delicioso, con un sabor a agave notable y dulce.

Trujillo Cuarenta has a character all its own. The copper adds complexity and depth to its flavor, giving it a bold yet smooth finish. I particularly enjoy the balanced notes it offers, making it a great choice for those who want a sophisticated tequila experience. It’s excellent neat or on the rocks.

Buenisimo

Al retrogusto deja un sabor a ahumado con toques de azúcar o jarabe de inulina

A good option if you are looking for something stronger

muy buen tequila

Agave

Sabor a caramelo, agave cocido, un poco picante, sabor ahumado, gran cuerpo.

Intenso aroma a agave cocido, sabor ahumado, caramelo. Gran cuerpo y sensación picante.

Smells like Apple and cooked agave, it has a big body, looks like crystal clear and white color. Is a brilliant liquid. The taste is sweet with a little bit of bitter at the aftertaste. It’s easy to drink and ideally for single drinks.
