Citric aromas blended with strong cooked agave, with a pleasant minerality, and a touch of spice and herbs. Clean and slightly sweet across the palate. A great finish, a burst of agave coupled herbal/basil notes with light oak, and hints of spice and vanilla. A very nicely balanced reposado.
Honeysuckle, chicory root, and barrel influence on the nose. Warm, bright flavors. Fun viscous mouth feel! This is fun. Slightly over proof and I like it =)
Lou gives some mighty high praise for this affordable blanco tequila.
The team behind the Tequila Matchmaker have launched a “Verified Additive Free” program for tequila brands and distilleries. This is the first known independent, additive-free verification in the spirits world.
Largely dependent on U.S. bars and restaurants, Mexico’s craft distilleries are in trouble, and trying to find new ways to connect with consumers.

Lou gives his opinion (and approval) of this high proof Tequila Valley gem.
Last year was a busy time in the tequila world. Here's what we expect to see in 2020, and beyond.

Blind tastings are the best way to find out what you really like, free of marketing hype, bias, and previous experiences. They also give you the opportunity to experience tequila in a whole new way—using only your senses.
Just can't give more than 5 on value. I really, really, REALLY like it but cost is prohibitive.
