Nose: agave / earth / mineral/ pepper /very faint citrus/ lime / Taste: mildly sweet agave / pepper/ earthy/ mineral/ hint of apple / orange peel / licorice/ lemongrass / peppermint/ salt Finish: very light viscous mouthfeel with a slight bitterness near the end that lingers with a strong pepper note. This blanco is a good choice for those that prefer a pepper profile over sweetness. The sweet is there, but the earth, mineral, and pepper tones nearly dominate. It has a weak nose, but as a blanco that can be expected sometimes. A decent sipper if you like the peppery profile tastes.

Vibrant nose - Agave heavy Extremely soft mid palate, no alcohol presence —vegetative, mineral forward, floral. Peppery. Wonderful finish, extremely agave forward throughout. Nice and clean. Minerality is strong, nice sweetness. Easy drinker.

Going to miss this one out of out of 1579. Looking forward to what the new Primo brings. As for this one it is a nice representation of a good blanco. Nose has cooked agave, citrus and a light mineralality and earthy. Taste is very pleasant and very easy to drink. You get cooked agave, slight hints of mint, spice and floral notes.

It is very good, no wonder coming from El Pandillo. However, the value proposition vs. other offerings is hard given they produce such great tequilas. Will compare with the G4 madera to truly say if the price difference is worth it. The bottle is very nice though.
