This nine-year-aged extra añejo tequila (46.9% abv - Barrel 53A) exudes a rich, dark amber glow, offering an intriguing dance of flavors reminiscent of bourbon. Aromas of caramel and vanilla greet the senses, while the taste unfolds with a symphony of oak, toffee, and a subtle spiciness. Silky and sophisticated, it blurs the lines between tequila and bourbon, creating a unique sipping experience for those that enjoy an oak-forward profile.
Mi Casa Blanco Nose: Cooked agave, lemongrass, orange zest, white pepper, minerals and alcohol. Taste: Raw and cooked agave, agave sweetness, lemon/lime citrus oils, white pepper, alcohol and a slightly metallic note. Finish: agave sweetness, citrus oils and peppers.
Agave, cinnamon, vanilla, fruit — not over-oaked, a nice sip.
Tasted at the Agave Bros event “Battle of the Blancos”
There is a certain facination with the small brands. They are often driven by very dedicated people who put up a fierce fight to stay in a very competitive market.
Tequila is taking over bars, cocktail lists and palates all over the Bay Area and as we reported this week, several young companies are jumping into the booming market for Mexico's national spirit.
The 3rd Annual New York International Spirits Competition honored Mi Casa Tequila as ‘Tequila Distillery of the Year.’
I wouldn't recommend this. Nose is vacant of agave, but has some alcohol and vanillic aromas. Flavor is pleasant and finish is nice.
