Caramel and butterscotch and alcohol on the nose. Flavor is a mix of barrel burnt caramel and pepper. Smooth finish but with a lingering bitterness. I wouldn’t recommend for an experienced discerning drinker. Average price is much lower than most añejos.
Telsón Blanco - This Los Altos tequila uses close cuts agave that are cooked in an Autoclave under high pressure before entering a roller mill. It’s then fermented in stainless steel tanks without fibers using deep well water. After fermentation it’s twice distilled in stainless steel stills and bottles at 40% abv. - The nose provides some hints of fresh agave and bright lemon / lime citrus along with some alcohol. After opening up I get a creamy almond note with a hint of sweetness. - The sweetness hits first followed by that fresh agave from the nose and some pepper that quickly follows. There’s some slight green melon and honeysuckle. The finish is sweet and short. - This tequila would do well in tequila cocktails with its sweet agave taste profile. 40 USD
Tastes like Coca-Cola. Much too sweet for me to enjoy.
Tasted from a cocktail glass off of Fremont street in Vegas Nose: spicy and herbaceous, but it’s not what I’d expect from a traditional tequila. I’m kinda scared … The flavor is odd and it has a fake vanilla frosting to it that is not from a natural production process. There is no story to the finish and zero earthiness. It stays sweet for a long time before turning bitter.
