Everything is legit on the nose, plenty of roasted agave, I’m not detecting any additives or unnatural aromas. Flavour really reminds me of Casamigos, it’s gentle and easy to get along with, a bit too sweet for me but I can see the masses loving this.
I just had a couple of quick swallows of this... I appreciated the opportunity to taste it, but...... It was cloyingly sweet, a funny texture in the mouth and slapped me silly with fake flavors. Not for me.
Super heavy vanilla and chocolate and a noticeable burnt caramel aroma. Not at all natural, and not a tequila for people who know what tequila is supposed to smell and taste like. No agave anywhere to be found. Just lots of sugary sweetness. Really, Mike? C’mon.
Chocolate, burnt caramel nose- a more intense version of the repo, mimicking a heavy toast with additives. Astringent, chocolate finish with thicker glycerin for mouthfeel. No agave again. If this tequila is the añejo I can’t imagine how heavy handed the XA is.
Heavy chocolate and vanilla aromas. A slight bit of burnt caramel, too. It’s like a wall of vanilla that you can’t get beyond. No agave at all. Overly sweet flavor with a burning but short finish. This does not smell or taste natural.
Is this a trend that’s driven purely by financial incentives, whether to cash in like Clooney and company, or to profit from America’s increasing appreciation of the spirit?
Last year was a busy time in the tequila world. Here's what we expect to see in 2020, and beyond.
I’ve never drank tequila by itself this early in the day before, let alone slowly sipped it. But I have a good reason: What, exactly, the tequila tastes like from Cincoro Tequila.
Following the landmark success of George Clooney’s tequila brand Casamigos, a crop of celebrities have tried to mimic its popularity with their own labels in the US.
Cincoro's Starting Five: Michael Jordan, Wyc Grousbeck, Emilia Fazzalari, Jeanie Buss and Wes Edens.
