One of my top 5 worst tasting brands. Sorry, not sorry. I love the Rock. But his tequila sucks.
Aromas of cinnamon and agave. Flavor weighs in with artificially sweetened vanilla frosting, dusted with cinnamon. Finish has some bitterness. A slight medicinal note.
Botella BQ8240 @ 40 grados (Comprado en Estados Unidos) Aroma metálico y en donde se limita la presencia de aromas de agave. destacan notas de canela y especias como anís estrella o pimienta gorda. En gusto destaca algo de mineralidad, con buena sensación de pimienta en el centro de la lengua que después se recorre a la punta de la lengua. al final resalta un dulzor poco natural para un tequila. Un tequila suave y sin carácter, para un público muy bien identificado. Muy buen trabajo del equipo de marketing.
Aroma has butter, vanilla, and slight oak. Like the blanco it’s too sweet and simple for me. The finish is pretty much all vanilla.
Much like the blanco, but with a veil of barrel notes- vanilla, butter and American oak. Added sweetener still present. A bit more finish than the blanco and more flavor.
Cinammon and light agave nose. Thin and sweet in the mouth with no finish. Slight sucralose taste with a touch of bitterness at the back. Simple and unfulfilling due to the lack of body and finish. Perhaps an easy choice for non-tequila drinkers, but not great for converting them since it lacks the complexity of a well-done tequila.
The aroma has a nice agave and cinnamon component that I like. But the flavor is too sweet and simple for me. Not a bad product, but I wish they would lighten up on the sweetness, perhaps some more complexity might come forward.
Celebrities such as The Rock and George Clooney have helped the stratospheric rise in popularity of Tequila and other agave spirits. But canny consumers will discern whether the stars have a real passion for the spirit.
Stars are following in the footsteps of George Clooney's hit with Casamigos, and the spirit may not be better for it.
You know most of the names, yet you probably haven't heard of Ken Austin. Think of him as sort of a celebrity spirits whisperer.
If you are an outsider making tequila, the least you can do is gain understanding and respect for the culture, and the people who work hard to make the product.
Celebrity brands are pillaging Mexico's agave to make subpar products — she's just the most visible one.
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?

Slightly better than The Rock’s Blanco, only the aroma scored points with me. Harsh, astringent, chemical, bitter, and for the most , partly bordering on unpleasant to drink. My score was generous.
