On the nose, cooked agave and distinct minerality. Lemon peel, citrus. Fruit, like melon maybe. Some pineapple, bordering on that sharp sweetness of overripe pineapple. On the palate, Lemon oil, immediately and a ton of cooked agave and minerals. A little bit of pepper, and a vegetal note. Very oily, medium-ish finish. Overall, Not bad. I wouldn’t add this to my collection, but I’m glad to have tried it. Shout out to Tequila Mockingbird for giving me a sample. It’s competent, clearly well made, but the very basic flavor profile is not my cup of tea(quila) with the specific notes I’m getting.

Cooked agave on the nose…. Spring time on the nose…Fresh water/ minerality, citrus… grassy with some floral. Good body not water watery … natural sweetness from the cooked agave on the mouth with some citrus and lemon slight burn that does not last long at all quick heat then transform to a natural/ organic sweetness.

Nose: cooked agave, fresh ground clove, banana, fresh wood, day old cut grass, it’s musky Flavor: agave, baking spices, vanilla, and black pepper Finish: medium musky up front and moves to spice of mixed peppers

I’m greeted with bright agave and grassy notes. As I swirl there’s nice tears which ultimately lead to a wonderfully creamy sip. I’m tasting agave, grass, pepper, citrus, and a touch vegetal. It gives a soft impression due to the velvety mouthfeel, but there’s some really bright notes and a tingle of pepper in there too. I could drink this all day.

TAU Blanco 38% Just above the glass I detect some minerality and then as I get closer I get bright agave and then some oily lemon zest. I taste the agave and citrus right away. The minerality hits on the mid-palate and then a nice vegetal pepper hits right before the finish. There is a nice light alcohol tingle on the finish which I didn’t expect from a 38% abv / 76 proof Blanco tequila. This tequila has been oxygenated. This is another great tequila from NOM1414 - Sergio Cruz - Master Distiller. It’s Confirmed Additive Free by Grover and Scarlet at TMM.
