Aroma/Taste: Upon first nosing, there's a distinctive cheesy, lactic funk that stands out. This is the most unique aroma I've encountered so far in this blind tasting, being my 8th of 10. Wet leaves and mushroom notes almost overpower the cooked agave on the nose. The taste features cooked agave, black pepper, mushroom, and anise, but the highlight is a cherry-like, medicinal note. It’s reminiscent of Siempre’s Exclusivo Vivo in it’s flavor. Finish: The finish is a bit too lactic for my preference, but the hallmark blanco notes are present, including cooked agave, black pepper, and anise. It's warm, but the funkiness is a bit too pronounced for my taste, though not overwhelming. Overall: When tasted blind, this tequila is certainly the most unique blanco in my blind tasting thus far, but also my least favorite. While it's not overwhelmingly lactic, there's enough of it to not suit my tastes. However, there are positives: I enjoy the flavors of cooked agave, black pepper, anise, and mint. Just as I pick mushrooms off my supreme pizza, the same reason applies to why I'm not a huge fan of this blanco.

TMM Blind Tasting:2025 The aroma leads with a yeasty funk and woody smoke, layered with citrus, cooked walnut and almond, and a sharp spice from the ethyl. On the palate, smoke intertwines with sweet raisin-like cooked agave, anise, mineral tones, cinnamon, peppermint, fruit, and a vegetal note reminiscent of sweet and spicy green bell pepper. The finish lingers with smoky agave, fading spice, and a trace of citrus.

Blind TMM tasting: A musty dank earthy aroma. Flavors follow with sweet agave, earth, and a wisp of smoke.

First impression of the aroma was malolactic, not bad. When I took my first sip, I wasn’t sure if it had additives, or not, but as it continued to open up, I really enjoy this one! The finish is slightly bitter, but I enjoy it overall.

funky, maloactic aroma. good flavor with a solid finish

Lactic funk on the nose, but it is not as evident in the mouth. Nice mellow entry with some viscosity and agave sweetness. Finish has a tingle that persists.

A very good blanco. Smooth taste and nice finish.

Lote M77 is the kind of blanco that sneaks up on you in the best way. I usually drink my tequila neat, and this one held up beautifully. I wasn’t sure about the subtle smokiness at first, but it opened up beautifully. Cooked agave leads the way, backed by mineral depth, earth, and a clean finish that lingers without ever feeling harsh. It’s balanced, well-crafted, and clearly made with intention. At this price point, for an additive-free micro-batch blanco, it’s a strong value. I’d gladly pour it again, and already have. Finished the bottle in one sitting with a friend, says it all. Aroma: Cooked agave, minerality, subtle fruit and smoke layered, well-structured. Flavor: Smooth, agave-forward, evolving with depth and a clean smokiness. Finish: Long, earthy, clean. No burn or artificial residue. Value: For additive-free, small-batch quality, very solid value.

It didn't have the strong tequila smell, it smelled crisp and fresh. It tasted the same, very impressive. Excellent craftsmanship.

this tequila was great by itself and fire with palomas!

Smooth, great flavor, worth the price

Delicious tequila! My friends & I love to enjoy this any time we get together!

M77, Hands down in my top 5. From the first sip, it just hits different. You get that smooth, cooked agave right up front, followed by this subtle sweetness and just a kiss of smokiness that gives it depth without overpowering anything. It’s clean, it’s balanced, and it doesn’t try too hard. No weird aftertaste, no artificial vibes, just honest, well-crafted tequila. I really enjoy sharing it with close friends. Respect to the people behind this bottle. They knew what they were doing.

Smooth finish and great taste. Crowd preference at my parties. Pairs well with other drinks. Quality drink worth its price.

TMM Blind Panel: On the nose: super complex burst of flavor- minerals, sweet cooked agave, pepper, red apple, earth, mushroom On the pallet: sweet cooked agave, light smoke, earth, vegetal, rasin On the pallet: it leaves this unique earthy, mineral flavor rasin and it lingers for a long time. This tequila is unique. Well balanced, the nose is a knockout. It’s fun, it’s complex. It just keeps opening up as you dive in. Super fun, delicious tequila. With that said, I don’t like the lack of integrity going on with the 100 pt reviews on here. Especially With accounts that have only reviewed this product. Shady.

I like the smokiness.

Wow, this blanco is very unique. Beautiful citrus notes enveloped with a waft of smoke. I love the little bit of smoke from the fire used in the cook. Reminds me of Cascahuin’s Destino which I love. This is a must try.
