Confirmed Additive-Free Brand
Vanilla forward (not in an overly sweet way), soft on the palate, floral. A good one to pour for those starting out on their tequila journey. Additive free cristalino reposado. Tasted at the El Tequileno tasting room
Cooked agave, barrel notes, pepper, stone fruit. A very good everyday sipper at under $30
Had this at the El Tequileno tasting room. Aroma: cooked agave, baking spice, light vanilla Flavor: the baking spice hits first, followed by mango and vanilla notes
Tasted at the distillery, this is a 4 month Reposado filtered clear. Tastes natural enough but side by side with the regular Blanco and Platino and Reposado this is last in all categories. Interesting but not a recommend.

Herbal, floral and agave. A little bitterness on the finish but retains agave finish. I could sip this but I’d rather mix it.
