Fresh agave, tangerine, sugar cane, something herbal that I can’t quite put my finger on. A delicious agave-forward, clean, assertive and yet very sip-able blanco. I love everything about this tequila.
Nose: Raw Agave, citrus (lime & grapefruit), White Pepper Flavor: Cooked agave, Earthy, Agave sweetness, spicy cinnamon, Citrus Finish: Short with that spicy cinnamon carrying through.
Perfectly clear in the glass. Some beads left after the tears have fallen. Nose: pleasant cooked and raw agave reminding me of a bright green, if colors could have an aroma. A bit of citrus zest with some baking spices. Palate: nice light, but viscous mouthfeel with cooked agave the dominant flavor. Some pepper, sweetness, and a clean ethanol burn on a short-medium finish. Impressed and delighted!
Raw agave, fresh greens. Light nose. Cinnamon, cooked agave some anise.
As the fastest growing spirit in the U.S., tequila has overcome its bad rap as the cheap, college hangover culprit, while simultaneously breaking into a fixated market, where vodka and whiskey previously reigned. What propelled this shift?
Eduardo "Lalo" González, has teamed with two friends, David Rodriguez Carballido and Jim McDermott, to create and distribute Lalo tequila, a very different, more modern premium brand that has already caught on in restaurants, bars and clubs across Texas.
LALO tequila, named after co-founder and maestro tequilero Eduardo "Lalo" González, the grandson of Don Julio González, launched last year in the U.S. after several years of development.
Lou explains why he likes LALO Blanco.

Really digging the Lalo! Great fresh agave nose. Mid palate is smooth and round. Finish is smooth and elegant with a bit of white people on the tongue. Definitely a tasty highland tequila. Great job Lalo Gonzalez!
