This kosher blanco is part of the additive-free alliance. I’ve seen Asombroso tequila bottles since I’ve been sipping tequila and writing tasting notes. I’ve read reviews but I never sampled or purchased a bottle because of the sweet profiles. I’m lucky enough to have received this bottle so let’s dig in. The nose is light but clean. It has an herbal quality along with some light agave, mint, minerality, and white pepper. There are some celery and faint alcohol vapors too. The taste is bolder than the nose. There’s some natural sweetness that hits on the front of the palate. The cooked agave hits as does some honeysuckle, dry minerals, cinnamon and herbs. The finish is clean white pepper with just a hint of vegetalness and maybe a drop or two of citrus. It lingers nicely. Overall this tequila is a good sipper for those that prefer a sweet and slightly spicy blanco. The finish is my favorite part. This is a good bottle to gift to your new tequila-drinking friends because it’s a unique design but the juice inside is actually worth the price.
Something seems very off to me. Great price for a pretty bottle though.
AsomBroso Silver Eros June 21 neck pour/ revisited July 3... Nose: grassy herbal minerality mild agave cinnamon some citrus pepper yeast mint Palate: agave pepper some heat some vanilla Finish: short Overall: It's not too complex, but an easy sipper, quality-made and additive-free. (I believe it's the first time this brand has made an additive-free expression. Kudos to AsomBroso for this!) Reasonably-priced around $50, not a bad deal with the cool, sexy bottle. I recommend giving this one a try!
Herbal, mineral, citrus nose. Tastes mineral and earthy to start, then finishes cream soda sweet with a little salt. Not too complex but an easy drinker with some mineral notes. Nice tears. Really appreciate that they’ve gone additive free with this one. Not overpriced despite the “unique” bottle.
Aroma: one of the most unique aromas I’ve experienced. A lot of rosemary, aloe, and spearmint. There’s a vegetal/raw agave note in there too. Flavor: herbal notes that i don’t think I’ve ever experienced before in tequila. There’s some cooked agave and minerality but also an eucalyptus flavor that I can’t recall experiencing before.
Lou shares his opinion of an old bottle of Asombroso Reposado from NOM 1146.
The Orange County Register reports that Ricardo Gamarra, owner of Rancho Santa Margarita-based AsomBroso Tequila, announced last week that Lopez signed on to partner with the tequila line to help spread the word about the brand.
AsomBroso Tequila have announced that their AsomBroso Del Porto Tequila is now available for pre-order through an exclusive website.
Beautiful bottle, confirmed additive free, a good price, under $50, makes a nice gift. Light cooked agave, herbal, light citrus. Over all not too bad. Short finish.
