Puerto Vallarta blanco Sample from junior zander DGN B 257-061231 First sniff, a lot of alcohol on nose, with a little fruit in the background, some unami/mushrooms, some raw agave, vegetal and pepper Palate - there's something familiar i can't define - a fruit maybe? with some black licorice (more than anise) and mildly sweet. Finish is hot with black pepper Not my favorite profile Note: Glencairn 4pm an hour after arroz con pollo

Saw this mixto on a bar back, so I tried it. I sorta wish I hadn't. Reminds me of Cuervo Gold from college. Aroma of artificial sweetener and vanilla. Same flavor and lack of anything else. Where's the agave? finish to speak of.

If you are looking for Congnac that isn’t cognac, this is for you. Orange and gentle oak, some agave is present on the back end. This is shockingly good, especially for the price.

Unfortunately this doesn’t keep the pedigree of the Blanco as much as I would have liked. Decent Tequila, just doesn’t flow as nicely as the Blanxo.

This is on point with anything that comes from Orendain, it’s old school and no nonsense. I like this style, it takes me back.

Aroma of agave and oak. Flavor of agave, oak and a hint of vanilla. Medium finish.

NOM 1110 Nose: An umami aroma - perhaps chorizo. Sweet agave, a little smoke and trace cinnamon. Flavor: The appearance was on the watery side, so I was surprised to have my first sip coat my tongue nicely. Round agave notes, cinnamon and almonds, with a touch of pepper and smoke. Finish is shortish with borderline over the top sweetness. The pepper asserts itself a little more towards the end.
