This is why I love tequila from the beginning the smell and the taste of the Agave. Is in perfect balance. love this Blanco.
One of my favorite noses. Sweet agave for days + black pepper. Tastes of Cooked agave and a ton of black pepper, riding on top of a little citrus kick. A little heat from the 43% numbs the throat a bit. Looooong finish, if a tad one-dimensional. Wonderful blanco!
Cooked agave, cinnamon on the nose with some greeness, minerality from the water….. tartness on the mouth like a crisp green apple with a black pepper kick.
Purchased in May 2022 for USD65. Nose: cooked agave competes with minerality from the spring water. Definitely unique when compared to other NOM 1579 blancos. Palate: cooked agave, minerality, tart fruitiness, perhaps banana. Finish: hint of sweetness, lingering but faint black pepper.
The more this is sipped the more the sweetness of the whole comes out in the mouth. Bright, peppery, agave sweetness, 100% spring water, wood fermentation all in total makes for a bold, flavorful, punch in the mouth which leaves the tip and front of the tongue buzzing for several minutes from the 43% ABV. I like Don Heiser's idea of having this in and with ceviche. Bold enough to not be covered up by the seafood and rich enough to complement the whole. note that I have had several spring water only Blanco bottles directly from El Pandillo, including a couple of 55% offerings but this is the first retail product with that formulation.
I’m getting old school production notes most likely made with agaves from the Valles. Very complex! Aroma: Wet cement, earthy, minerals, olive and smoke Taste: Peppery, smoke, vegetal and earthy
