Very nice nose but a lot more barrel than 46. Barrel 50 has a stronger whiskey presence with oak and caramel taking the lead. The agave is there but not as forward. Flavors of agave and fruit. Whiskey on the palate. Long finish and a tad bitter. I like 46 better but this is also really good.
Nice nose of cooked agave, oak, vanilla and caramel. I get butter and banana. There is baking spice aromas. Flavorful on the palate with vanilla and oak up front. Then agave and caramel. I get cinnamon and black pepper. A bit of alcohol on the finish. I will revisit this after it has had time to breathe.
Subtle agave nose, muted palate and poor finish
A lot of different flavors going on here but not a lot of depth. It's a perfectly fine blanco for the price.
This is number 200 for me. I tend to really like Calle 23. This one is rated lower than I expected by my peers but I find it quite tasty. Nose is a little dull. I get agave and oak and vanilla and caramel like you would expect. Not much else. On the palate, it think it explodes with flavor. Yes, I get agave and the barrel notes but I also get butter and honey and almonds. The finish is nice. Yes, I’ll have another one please.
Strong agave on the front palette, disappears a little down the middle with slightly watery melon & almond. Alcohol comes on at the very end but leaves almost as soon as it appears. This is a very likeable Tequila, subtle flavours and a short finish.

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
