Nose: Cooked Agave, Honey, Fruit, Anise Mint, Cinnamon, vegetal Palate: Minerality, Citrus (rind), limestone, pepper Finish: Mango/ Stone Fruit, Herbs, Minerality, Pepper For the price, this one is spectacular. I got a lot of fruit, vegetal, and cooked agave along with some herbal and fruity notes. This is incredibly (maybe suspiciously) sweet but also full of flavor. I'd like to read up a little but more on production notes.

This one’s hard to beat considering the price tag on it! WOW

I had this, several times, at a tasting. The aroma and flavor left a strong impression, with cooked agave taking the lead in both presence and intensity—it truly stood out as the quintessential defining characteristic from start to finish. While other notes made themselves known, they succumb to the cooked agave’s rich and gourmand profile. I found this Blanco to be incredibly palate worthy and look forward to having a full bottle to revisit.

I think most of us can appreciate a good value tequila. I have a couple, Suerte and Puro Potro. These are tequilas that punch above their weight class. Zumbador fits that bill too Nice nose of agave and floral. Minty. On the palate it is also a sweet agave bomb with a bit of black pepper. Finishes off nicely. Makes a good mixer or a sipper. I’d put this third in my budget class

Increased my rating after purchasing a bottle to enjoy. Fantastic blanco that’s hard to beat at this price. Packed with cooked agave sweetness, a touch of cinnamon, and a little anise. I would love a Zumbador high proof.

Zumbador Blanco sample from Bill Durnbaugh Adjusting up for value Nose: at first i got vegetal citrus pepper. Then the agave and fruit came out. It kept evolving! Anise and mint came forward. It gets more complex as it opens. Palate: agave pepper minerality and anise Finish: peppery that comes back around to sweet agave and more pepper I'm impressed ! need to get a bottle of this. Not rated for value because I don't know price. Will adjust if need be when I know cost

On the nose I get a very traditional cooked agave that’s buttery and has some nice minerality white pepper and brine. There’s hints of alcohol and a faint peppery vegetal note. There’s a classic quality to it. I’m tasting several notes at once. It’s buttery cooked agave, peppers, earthy minerals and a touch of natural agave sweetness. That sweetness carries into a slightly pepper finish that pleasantly lingers. There’s some nice alcohol tingle on the palate. Overall this is a very tasty tequila and it’s coming in at a great price around 25

My god!!! This is a gem of a find. Nose: at first i got vegetal citrus pepper. Then the agave and fruit came out. It kept evolving! Anise and mint came forward. It gets more complex as it opens. Palate: agave pepper minerality and anise Finish: sweet agave and pepper that finishes smooth and easy. I'm impressed!!!

This Blanco reminds me of so many great Highland Agave tequilas. Great cooked Agave mineral reality limestone cinnamon vegetable. It really has it all. Great finish hard to be at this price point!

Picked this one up through a great sample swap in the Agave Swappers Facebook group. Zúmador Blanco is clean and crisp with a strong agave presence. On the nose, it’s fresh with hints of citrus and pepper. The flavor follows with cooked agave, light minerality, and a touch of herbal spice. Smooth finish with a nice little kick at the end.

More dollar-friendly goodness - Zumbador Blanco. Picked this up at Kenny 18 Bottle Shop in Atlanta. Place has a great selection of quality tequilas and you can tell the guy truly loves agave spirits. Nose - This reminded me so much of my first whiff of Tapatio. So much of that earthy/wet cement up front. Cooked agave. Give it a minute and you start to pick out lime zest and some other citrus. Pepper and maybe a bit of grass. I spent a lot of time just enjoying the aroma. Palate - Agave and that same earthiness. Minerality develops. A bit dry to me, but not in a bad way. It finishes with black pepper and some vegetal notes. This bottle punches WAY above its price. If you enjoy the Tapatio flavor profile, you’re really going to like this.

Clean aroma, earthy, full body but crisp dry finish.

Aroma: (21) agave, black pepper, earth, anise, citrus Taste: (25) agave, black pepper, floral, vegetal, Finish::(21) medium finish with lingering agave, black pepper, earth notes. Overall: (87) $22 Bargain from Tower Liquor. Definitely a top 5 budget blanco! I’m unofficially naming it the best budget blanco. I’m confused to share this or keep this a secret.

Nice agave with mint & brine on the nose, similar on the palate with a nice mineral & mint medium finish. What a great value!

Nose: Fresh cooked agave leads the way, accented by a touch of black pepper and a subtle grassy note. It’s bright, clean, and inviting. Palate & Mouthfeel: While the mouthfeel is on the thinner side, it still coats the palate nicely. Sweet agave is front and center, complemented by hits of black pepper, anise, and a refreshing touch of peppermint. It’s a simple profile, but the agave truly shines. Finish: The finish is smooth and easy, with no harsh alcohol burn. A subtle tingle stays on the tongue, carrying a refreshing trace of pep Overall: What a spectacular value Blanco! It’s not overly complex, but sometimes simplicity and quality are exactly what you need.

Nose: Wallop of sweet cooked agave, which is then augmented with cinnamon and flowers. Palate: Moderate sweet roasted agave with heavy baking spices, and pepper, giving way to a little back palate burn, that quicly fades back into spiced agave. Finish: This is where it falls away from being a homerun for me. Those initial flavors fade away and a unripe fruit (papaya) astringency comes on, overwhelms them, but then melts back into them and almost turns pleasant again. Alltogether, This is not very complex to me and evolves quick, but really showcases the agave in a pleasant way and is a massive value at the price, immensely boosting it to a everyday sip at a mixer price.

Green pepper notes

Zumbador Blanco 1litter Lot 01/ene/24 TB On the nose : sweet fresh agave, lactic , pepper menthol on the palate: agave, that lactose and pepper, is silky , medium heat and medium finish this is good well made tequila, and for the price is absolutely fantastic. budget friendly for cocktails and lots of agave flavor to it, and if sip alone , cant go wrong. liquor store only had blanco, but I will definitely try the reposado . this is a must try AND must have for cocktails.

Great aroma of cooked agave. Seems like a great value buy at the price point.

Purchased in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato near where we live in Chapala, JAL. It was me to me and on sale for $350 pesos ($17 USD) a heck of a deal but the store attendant talked it up. If you can find it If buy it! Delicious agave taste, a tad of natural sweetness and awesome aftertaste. I’ve been savoring it the past few weeks. Highly recommend!

Mexican 40% abv. versión, lote: L750ZTBA0002, bottled on 05-11-2024, tasted on 12-21-24. Aroma: cooked agave, hint of raw agave, mineral, light green vegetal note, light pepper spiciness, light fruitiness, light earthiness, hint of anise, quite interesting! Palate: confirms aromas perceived, light sweet cooked agave, good sweet sour and citrus balance. Ethanol sensation is medium to medium high. Finish is medium to medium long, cooked agave, mineral, light green vegetal note, light earthiness with light fruity notes persist.

Clean tasting for like $35 this is very nice

Nose: cooked agave, floral, grassy, earthy, mint, citrus, and light pepper. Palate: you taste what’s on the nose! No artificial flavors detected, just clean cooked agave and floral notes dominant this tequila! Finish: short, but keeps you coming back for another sip. Amazing value! Bonus points for such a great bargain! At $27 for 1 Liter, it’s a buy! Bought in Colorado!

This is pretty awesome tequila for the price. Best bargain I've found.

This tequila is truly stunning! It’s surprising how floral it smells on the nose, and in the palette you’ll find those floral notes to be quite balanced with citrus and ripe agave
