Refined, nostalgic, and beautiful. You can taste the attention to detail and commitment to process. No shortcuts, no additives, no bs. This is a lightly peppered, cooked agave forward, slight citrus gentle giant of a tequila. I don’t need t fly to Tequila when I can get there with this bottle. Extraordinary!
Lote from 2020 (before the move to all copper pot still.) Nose: Softly spiced. Hints of pear, citrus, green agave, sulfur and lime. Kissed with a floral note. Flavor: Round spices. Vanilla and cinnamon. A touch of saltiness. Slow, rolling, warming pepper spreads across the palate. Silky texture. A straight forward easy sipper. Lalo should appeal to a wide spectrum of tastes.
Strong agave forward, subtle sweetness with a mild peppery finish. Definitely a top blanco. A must for your bar.
The 12 finalists are tequilas that offer vibrant and varied aromas and flavors with good texture and a pleasing aftertaste.

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.
