High-proof blanco tasting may 2024 NOM 1635 This is the only tequila produced at this distillery! Lote 1? L-80224AB 50% ABV Guanajuato agave let it open and breathe 30-45 mins. No lie! Really give this one time to breathe. Nose got better as it opened Nose: at first it is alcohol forward with some sweet agave and pepper. As it opened, it got complex. I got fruit, floral notes, anise, a little vegetal (green pepper) and some minerality. I kept getting more as it opened. Taste: sweet cooked agave, some banana and anise. The alcohol isn't as prevelent on the palate. It's actually very warm and nice. Finish: Nice warm finish that carries on Other: Legs slow and thick. Nice viscosity nice mouthfeel

Known internally as "The Big Bang" this is lote 01. This amps the regular Blanco to 11. Entry is smooth and then explodes in the mouth with as much roast agave as I can recall from recent high proof offerings. Natural sweetness dominates and then eases into a long lingering finish. Well done.

The Reposado uses champagne yeast unlike the 2 unaged products which use ambient yeast and is aged around 5 months in MM barrels as is the Añejo. Some caramel and cinnamon initially with some hints of vanilla and oak from the barrel, this has nicely integrated flavor carried by the ethanol.
