had a small sample in late 2023 wanted to revisit before rating. aug 24, 2924 nose some yeast and alcohol. as it opens, some tropical fruit palate sweet agave bomb! with some cinnamon finish is long with a good heat
Nose: earth / agave cooked / citrus / pear / cherry / bell pepper / salt Taste: sweet agave cooked / earth / BIG cinnamon / vanilla/ minerals / pear and apple / citrus / orange peel / lime / anise / peppermint / tea / clove / hint of cream soda Finish: cool water effect over an incredibly tiny touch of sticky viscosity that’s enjoyable the way that it helps maintain the sweet agave and cinnamon flavors for a long time / even after 45 seconds I still have the vey slightly sticky viscosity on my tongue and palate. This high proof blanco offers so much flavor especially sweet and vanilla, and the higher abv seems to help elevate all the flavors. The finish is unique and enjoyable. This is a very enjoyable high proof.
Nose: agave/ earth/ pepper / mineral/ cherry / apple / tangerine/ spearmint/ hay / tea / floral/ alcohol Taste: sweet agave cooked / pepper/ earth / cinnamon / banana/ apple / plum / tangerine/ licorice/ lemongrass/ tea / nutmeg/ cream soda Finish: cool water effect on the lightest of viscous mouthfeel / sweet agave is the predominant taste but near the end there is a bittersweet that’s heavier on the bitter. Earthy and other mineral flavors are with you at the last swallow. This blanco has some great flavor but has a middle of the taste bitterness that still held some sweetness, though it made it hard to love. The sweetness of agave and anise were the strongest notes, but the peppery earthiness were along for the ride. The finish just couldn’t keep up with the actual taste.
I get a light aroma of cooked agave, lemon, and some vegetal notes. Tasting some light apple cinnamon which is enjoyable. The vegetal aromas come through in the flavor as well as some pitted fruit, sage, jasmine, and allspice.
Tasted blind for Fuerte Friday. Notes: Good legs. A little light on the nose but what I do smell is wonderful. I am picking up agave with fruit flowers. Very little pepper for a high proof so if you aren’t a pepper fan this may be a good option for you I am also picking up some mint. The taste is of sweet agave, floral notes, cinnamon and dried fruits. The ABV is present on the tongue and finish. I would highly recommend this tequila.
Nose of agave, citrus and pepper. Sweet agave on the tongue. Plenty of pepper (so much it makes me sneeze). A tad forward on the alcohol. Also taste minerals and brine.
Rating for NOM 1412. An excellent Additive free blanco. Aromas of cooked agave, citrus and black pepper are up front. They are also there for you in the flavor. There are more subtle touches for you to explore and experience. Medium-long finish.
Nose: Heavy rich with a light crisp and clean feel. Really pleasant. Citrus grapefruit and lemon mixed in. Flavor: Great oily month feel. Rich, lemon/lime citrus with some added funky on the back end. Agave, salt, grass and earth. Definitely recommend and I can’t wait to get more. Fantastic heft and mouth feel which makes this a true standout. To get this level of mouth feel without additives is truly impressive.

Late last year I had the pleasure of sampling Corrido Cristalino, and I was a huge fan of the tequila's complex flavor, writing that it is "nearly as perfect a blanco as you can get." When I was given the opportunity to taste the new Corrido single-barrel
During the time of U.S. Prohibition, the Corrido, a musical form of Mexican folklore, often honored the tequilero, or tequila smugglers, who gained popularity along the border. The "smugglers" of Corrido tequila are hoping for a similar popularity.
Last week at the Indy Spirits Expo in San Francisco, I had the chance to try the new Tequila Corrido.

Some slight bitterness initially that I attribute to the use of a stainless steel pot still with no copper elements. Some minerality from the deep well water comes out on subsequent sips. After sitting for 8-10 minutes this has opened up with a nice fragrance of agave and some caramelized notes. The SS pot still drags this down and keeps the score below the 90 point threshold. I like it but don’t love it Thanks Tequila.diva
