excellent blanco
This review is for Batch 5. This high proof, tahona-crushed juice has been rested in glass vessels for 5 months to let the flavors set up before bottling. This tequla has amazing depth. Its almost like its not using tequilana Weber azul (of course it is) because the flavor profile is off the chart. I had the pleasure of sipping this with the owner, David Suro at Cascahuin distillery in El Arenal. When it comes to sustainability and transparency, this is the benchmark. Wonderful juice with agave, pepper, herbs, asparagus and hay on the nose. Rich, deep minerality on rhe palate with agave forward flavor.

The truth behind “the coming tequila shortage”, and the real risks the industry faces.
Additives in tequila? I bet you’ve never thought about it. But whether you are for or against additives it’s useful to know how they are used, the rules that govern them, and how to sleuth them out.
Tequila has changed a lot since the early days. Most producers have switched from time consuming, old-school methods to high-efficiency production. But has this trend helped or harmed the overall quality of tequila?
Get ready because this #tequila has oomph! Tons of agave, butter, citrus and authenticity. No wonder we keep reaching for Siembra Valles Reposado.
