Tequila Matchmaker Premium Brand
Aroma : Heavy on the oak, but there is also a decent amount of dried fruits, spices, and some caramel and vanilla. Taste : The oak has a notable presence here as well. The initial oak note is followed by cherry, apricot (maybe kiwi?) and more traditional barrel notes of caramel and vanilla. The agave here has a very light presence, but the texture is oily and full. Finish : Medium/long with some more distinctive oak flavor and light bitterness. I like the 43% extra añejo better because it had a mixed nut thing going on with the taste and finish, and the agave was more prominent. This is still good though if you don't mind a little extra oak.
LOVE this!!! So much cooked agave goodness!!!
Clean fresh agave and citrus (lime). Lovely nose. A lot of agave up front, slightly vegetal and a touch of sweet. The finish is nice, slightly thin but peppery.
More oak than agave on the nose and taste, but that's fine, as it has a nice sweet presence, cognac and whiskey notes. There's that dried fruit, some spices, vanilla, honey, caramel, almost cherry from the french finish, and even a little citrus in the background. this is really nice I enjoyed it a lot.
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.

Aroma : Cooked agave, smoke, earth, grass, and the same lactic, cheesy note from the Tahona Blanco. Taste : Strong cooked agave and smoke predominate alongside notes of cinnamon and vegetal grass. The texture is oily, full, and buttery and kind of reminds me of Gran Dovejo's High Proof Blanco. Finish : Long with some black pepper spice and a (good) alcohol presence.
