NOM 1580. Not a fan. Disappointed in this after finding such a great value in the blanco. The repo cost me twice as much as the blanco ($40 at BevMo). I have the blanco on the bar for mixing. Their barrels are doing their juice a disservice—muting the nicer parts of the blanco allowing the poorer accents to take center stage and the barrel flavors can't compensate. For the same price, I could have had Suerte repo! (.67)
Rated blind after aeration. Big agave nose. Agave and herbaceous flavor with sweetness and slight mineral undertones. Smooth with nice pepper finish. Excellent value for sipping or mixing. This will pose a serious challenge to Olmeca Altos for space on my cocktail bar. $20 at BevMo. (0.29)
