Tequila Matchmaker Premium Brand
In the glass it’s crystal clear with slow legs. On the nose there’s agave, licorice, and cinnamon prevalent. The palate is agave, cinnamon, licorice, and a hint of tropical fruit (mango?) and citrus. It’s got a long warm finish of pepper and cinnamon spice. Note: This bottle has been open for a couple of days and there is considerably less cinnamon present than when first opened. I’ve had the high proof blanco and the reposado (both excellent) and don’t recall the cinnamon notes this one has. Overall tasty but more cinnamon than I prefer, which leads me to believe this bottling, shipping, and/or storage was somewhat unique as others don’t seem to pick this up as predominantly.
Ethanol on the nose right away with cooked agave coming in with oak at the end. Beautiful tears and viscosity line on the glass. This bottle has been open a month or so at this time and it has really benefited it....nice agave with ethanol burn, hint of baking spices, with a pleasant burn on a medium finish.
From Old Town. There have been several different barrels released and this one is at 44% ABV. Agave custard, with a healthy dose of baking spice and some ethanol. Never obtrusive, the alcohol, agave and barrel elements are well balanced and harmonize forming a very pleasing whole.
Aroma : Cooked agave with herbal, vegetal notes and some earth and mineral tones. Flavor : Tons of creamy, sweet cooked agave with butter, vanilla, and nutty undertones. There is also some pepper, cinnamon, and baking spices. This is the right amount of spice and sweetness, with a full-flavored oily mouthfeel. Finish : Long lasting with a more mineral quality than the initial taste, slightly bitter.
Agave, caramel and baking spices on the nose, very enjoyable. Light to medium body, I get subtle agave notes, light oak, vanilla, cinnamon and pepper on the end. It’s a little thin, finish is brief leaving a nice heat on the back of the throat. Nice repo, ultimately falls a little short of the standout nose.

I could just simply say 'run don't walk', and go buy Gran Dovejo Tequila, but let me take some time to explain why.
Traditionally-made Tequilas Rise to the Top of the 2017 Spirits of Mexico Competition.
Thanks to this beauty, Cinco de Mayo should last all weekend long. This most recent product from Gran Dovejo is winning serious praise (and very high scores in our app) for a good reason: AGAVE.
Additives in tequila? I bet you’ve never thought about it. But whether you are for or against additives it’s useful to know how they are used, the rules that govern them, and how to sleuth them out.
When USA Todays 10Best made a user voting in order to award the 10 best “craft tequilas” and Gran Dovejo popped up among the best – even before Siete Leguas, the European tequila aficionados naturally wanted to have a taste.
A truly good blanco is hard to find. You can’t use the aging process to cover up any unpleasantness, and the agave has to shine. Shine it does is this bright, rich, agave experience! That’s why Gran Dovejo Blanco has a permanent spot in our home bar.
Mendez Imports proudly announced today that their main product Tequila Gran Dovejo was awarded Best of Class in the Blanco and Reposado Tequila categories during the 2013 Spirits of the Americas competition.
