Sweet and salty kinda like saltwater taffy. Too much cloying vanilla. This older one is disappointing, head toward the newer Eros version.

NOM 1146. In a word, horrible...

Beautiful bottle, confirmed additive free, a good price, under $50, makes a nice gift. Light cooked agave, herbal, light citrus. Over all not too bad. Short finish.

This kosher blanco is part of the additive-free alliance. I’ve seen Asombroso tequila bottles since I’ve been sipping tequila and writing tasting notes. I’ve read reviews but I never sampled or purchased a bottle because of the sweet profiles. I’m lucky enough to have received this bottle so let’s dig in. The nose is light but clean. It has an herbal quality along with some light agave, mint, minerality, and white pepper. There are some celery and faint alcohol vapors too. The taste is bolder than the nose. There’s some natural sweetness that hits on the front of the palate. The cooked agave hits as does some honeysuckle, dry minerals, cinnamon and herbs. The finish is clean white pepper with just a hint of vegetalness and maybe a drop or two of citrus. It lingers nicely. Overall this tequila is a good sipper for those that prefer a sweet and slightly spicy blanco. The finish is my favorite part. This is a good bottle to gift to your new tequila-drinking friends because it’s a unique design but the juice inside is actually worth the price.
