On the nose, bright and full of citrus, with a sweet lime juice aroma. A really vibrant aroma that showcases pepper, sage, celery, agave, a light cinnamon, layered over a pleasant minerality. The flavor is a classic, agave forward tequila profile, with citrus and vegetal notes carrying through into a lovely sweetness coupled with some hints of peppery celery. Progressing into the finish, the flavors become even more vegetal, with long lasting notes of sage, celery, citrus, black pepper, and a bit of agave sweetness.

Nose: From the first swirl, cooked and raw agave come through, anchored by an earthy note that’s somewhere between damp soil and sunbaked clay. It leans green, like fresh cut nopales or green stems crushed in your hands. Bright citrus peeks through, along with a crack of black pepper and a faint salty edge that keeps it all lifted. Palate & Mouthfeel: The texture is generous - it really settles into the palate without being heavy. Sweet agave leads the way, but then there’s this sharp snap of chile heat that hits quickly and fades just as fast. As it pulls back, other flavors step in: citrus rind, a touch of cinnamon, earthiness, and a mellow note that reminds me of butterscotch. The pepper hangs in the background, like it’s keeping everything in check. Finish: It wraps up sweet, gently spiced, then suddenly you get this bright tingle that sticks around. Just when you think it’s gone, there’s this peppery aftertaste that lingers like a final word. Final Thoughts: The nose had me thinking it’d be on the lighter side, but it really opens up once you sip it. Each layer unfolds at its own pace, and it keeps me curious with every taste. It’s a little bold and just flat out enjoyable.

Batch 001 | Lots of citrus, pepper and vegetal notes with a nice minty finish. It also has some light minerality. Very well done.

Batch 001 | Wow, legitimately incredible! One of the best blancos I’ve tried in a while. Tons of sweet cooked agave, hints of mint and citrus, black pepper with solid minerality. Very well balanced with an excellent nose and finish. Highly recommend.

Batch 001 | This collab between David Suro and Carlos Camarena was sheer magic. One of the best blancos in the last few years. Complex AF!

Batch 001 | rating neck pour, put thru an aerator, which i dont normally do. this neck pour is quite good! anise off the bat! citrus, mint, cooked agave, minerality, fruity. now I really want to try the repo, but I dont have it!

Batch 001 | Slightly you proof kicks the flavor profile up. Well made blanco with lots of cooked agave, citrus and pepper

Batch 001 | Nose: Agave, mint, medicinal notes, anise, bell peppers, artichoke, zesty floral notes with white pepper Palate: Much more to my liking than the nose. Awesome punch of agave and very enjoyable. Glad this expression is an over proof because it really stands out as a result. Finish: Some nice heat on the tongue at the end

Batch 001 | Sighted and side by side with G4 Madera lote 04, I prefer the G4 in part because it is just so aromatic. By the time I sip the G4 I've already constructed an expected flavor profile from just the aroma. This has it's unique aromas, particular to La Alteña where this is made. Oven cooking, roller mill plus pine fermentation. The vats are impregnated with the effects of prior batches and help inoculate the mosto. First distillation is done with fiber and plays a large part in the rich mouthfeel. 46% ABV for the final product helps as well. Siembra Azul NOM 1414 Vivanco is made on one side of the city of Arandas and this Siembra Alteño NOM 1139 La Alteña on the other to the east. The Siembra Valles is from Cascahuin in Amatitán and closer to the town of Tequila than the other 2.

Sweetness on the nose and palate. Little bitterness mid palate. It’s not bad but I don’t love it

Batch 001 | Sweet agave on the nose and palate. Classic La Alteña, with a twist of herbal, pepper and licorice notes. Must try!

Batch 001 | Nose: sweet agave cooked / earth /vegetal / minerals/ pineapple/ hint of lime / tangerine/ anise / baking spice / cream soda Taste: sweet agave cooked/ anise / pepper/ vanilla/ mild cinnamon/ peppermint / pineapple/ green apple/ lime / tangerine/ orange blossom/ faint cream soda Taste Finish: very light viscosity / provides a nice palate coating despite a low viscosity mouthfeel. Lingering agave / anise / vanilla/ and tangerine citrus last through the entire sip, leaving light minty citrus aftertaste This new blanco ihas harmony but misses a touch on balance….the taste notes either seem to be there but muted or they’re playing AC/DC at stadium loudness. I really like the loud roaring agave, anise, and mild peppermint/mild cinnamon notes, but makes each pour feel like there’s something missing or some new flavor turns it up to 11. Overall I like this a lot and would definitely recommend to a more sophisticated palate owner.

Nice matalitic nose that flows in to a nice and easy sipper. With cooked agave, vanillin, and little citrus. Very nice

Nose of agave. Anise and grape and oregano. Melon. Light earth. Nice palate. Agave, citrus. Pepper. Brine. Cinnamon, floral, sweet honey. Mouthfeel is great. ABV is very good.

Batch 001 | Batch 001 I like what Nick Salcedo and Brad Ruppel have say. My tasting notes are similar. Nose: Pronounced mix of green and roasted agaves highlighted by lime citrus, white pepper and cinnamon. A nice base of chalky minerality and celery runs beneath it all. Taste: Exceptional. Brad nails the mouthfeel as substantial without being heavy. The chili heat comes out in a big way, yet is well balanced against the sweet cooked agave. Minerality, salty, celery, sage, and light citrus notes are spot on (Nick). This isn't just a sip. It is an experience. Finish: You get the full experience and plentlynof chilinfor a long lasting finish.

Batch 001 | Beautiful, citrus forward high proof. People have complained about the price point, but I got mine at Costco for $63. That’s a pretty damn good value.

This tequila is amazing at the perfect price point. A long oily finish that lingers on for awhile

Batch 001 | Heavy lime on the nose. I get almost exclusively lime. after letting it sit in the glass for about 10 min, the nose softens a bit and I started getting some agave, a little ethanol, eucalyptus. The palate is much more complex and interesting. fresh cooked agave, butter, anise, some pleasant bitterness, mint, black pepper, minerality, green herbs. and a flavor I can't quite put my finger on that keeps me going curiously back for another sip again and again. very enjoyable. silky mouthfeel. just a touch of heat. less than id expect for the abv. the nose brought my score down on what is otherwise a pleasurable Blanco to sip at a pretty good value for a high proof.

Batch 001 | Aromas de agave, cítrico, vegetal, minerales y en el paladar se siente frutal, hierbas, pimienta

Batch 001 | Agave up front in your face. Sweet taste and that’s a good thing. I prefer the sweet cooked agave with citrus like tangerine and grapefruit and lemon combined. Kind of pricey but it is what it is. Definitely have a few back ups already.

Batch 001 | On the nose : fresh Agave, mint, eucalyptus ,bright/floral ,some citrus pepper and little earthy at end on the palate : Refreshing clean peppery agave, minty , silky texture and minerality. Finished like a coolmint heat.

Batch 001 | Aroma: Sweet floral notes with the freshness of rainwater or well water, accompanied by a bright citrus aroma reminiscent of fresh oranges. Flavor: Sweet like honey with cooked agave, followed by a pleasantly bitter pepper finish and a somewhat refreshing burn. A must-have for my shelf!
