No lot codes but it has a tag that states USDA Organic on one side and Puro Verde Spirits, Austin Tequila Society’s Favorite Tequila 2011. Tasted on 7-28-24. Aroma: cooked agave with light sweetness, light green vegetal notes, hint of herbs, light resinous sweetness, hint of earthiness, after 30 minutes in the glass the cooked agave becomes sweeter and a whiff of pepper spiciness emerges. Hint of anise. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, ethanol sensation is stronger on the palate but through my retronasal I smell sweeter cooked agave and fruity notes. Finish is medium to long, light sweet cooked agave with light green vegetal notes, light pepper spiciness with a fruity sensation persists.

Tasted side x side with El Luchador, another 55% ABV blanco from NOM 1480. Once the mouth is acclimated to the high proof this blooms with large amounts of agave sweetness and some bright, very forward vegetal notes. This reminds me of some high proof tasted at the distillery on a visit this spring. By comparison the EL is more oxidized having been open for some time and 3/4 full. Agave and some anise and a long buzzy 110 finish. Puro 110 is fresher and has some underlying roast agave that I don't get with EL. Thanks Bob Wolter Lobster Bus 12
