I feel I make make the same review over and over for this distilleries products......smells and tastes like someone shoved your head into a copper still. Tequila people taking the time to do things right, you never lose sight of the roasted agave.
Los Abuelos Reposado : Lot 55-R. (Fortaleza) I bought this bottle while visiting the distillery in Tequila, Mexico. It’s a beautiful property but this is a tequila review so here I go. On the nose I detect a lot of cooked agave, minerals / vegetal and bright citrus notes. The taste is slightly sweet which comes from the used whiskey barrels it’s aged in. The cooked agave is dominant and there are several citrus notes. The finish is long and very smooth. This tequila is well worth the price and perfect to sip on. FYI: This tequila is branded as Fortaleza in the US.
Los Abuelos Blanco: Lot 60-B. (Fortaleza) I bought this bottle while visiting the distillery in Tequila, Mexico. It’s a beautiful property but this is a tequila review so here I go. On the nose I detect a lot of fresh agave and citrus. I smell lemon and a faint sweet agave finish. The taste is a mouthful of cooked agave, just the way a blanco should be. There is a pleasant white pepper finish. This tequila is well worth the price. FYI: This tequila is branded as Fortaleza in the US.
