I get a lot of vanilla and cream soda, pepper and cinnamon with some light minerality. A little watery compared to some others. Very solid.
Solid sipper, flavors are not particularly deep and it's a little thin. Fine for the price point.
Nose: Vanilla, Agave, Raisin, Vegetal, Spearmint, Slightly Malolactic Palate: Spearmint, Asparagus, Oregano, Black Pepper Finish: Orange, Black Pepper, Chamomile Man, I've got opinions here. I don't think it's a bad tequila, but starting from the nose, there were a lot of muted aromas. The palate and finish told a slightly different story, bringing out more herbal, then citrus and floral notes. Still, there was a common theme; everything was muted. I'd be very curious to see what a high proof version of this would look like.
Vessel: Glencairn Nose: vanilla, floral, minerality, cream soda Mouthfeel: Extremely light-bodied and delicate Palate: cream, vanilla, black pepper, earth, Cinnnamon Finish: vanilla, agave, cinnamon, black pepper, earthy There was not much of a grand mystery in this one, and that's perfectly fine. What I got on the nose seemed to be in line with what I experienced on the palate and finish; maybe a slight progressive influence of earthy flavors, cinnamon, and black pepper came to light. All in all, it seemed that the vanilla, agave, and cream notes were by far the dominant theme in this spirit. Am I mad that this was not more complex? Hell no. I'll never be mad at simplicity done right. Salud!
Nose: Coffee, Carmel,Banana, Almond Butterscotch, Cinnamon,Oak Mouthfeel: Full-bodied Palate: Carmel, Banana, Oak Finish: Oak, Molasses, Toffee, Banana I get a lot of intense, robust flavors and aromas. Coffee, Oak, Molasses that seem to blend harmoniously with very slightly underripe banana, carmel and toffee. This one is possibly my favorite standard label Calle 23 to date.

Calle 23 – blanco, reposado, anejo, tequila review (episode 82)
Cask has a nice, well-edited selection and I came home with a brand I’d never seen before called Calle 23. The sales lady said that the tequila was created by a French scientist and the reposado was the most carefully crafted. Needless to say, I was intri
