12/2023 NOM 1551 agave, cinamon, a little alcohol, floral and vegetal notes with a metalic flavor on palate/finish (perhaps because only stainless steel pots were used in distillation/ no copper?) but not off-putting overall: this is a good, reasonably-priced cocktail tequila i also enjoyed the tanteo flavored tequilas (habanero and jalepeno) in cocktails. the chipotle flavor was a little too smokey for me.
Through this merger, the combined company will leverage Ole Smoky’s infrastructure and its sales and distribution network to significantly accelerate Tanteo’s growth.
Lou is surprised by the quality of Tanteo Blanco, a brand that's typically known for its infused products.
Despite the obstacles 2020 brought, sales of tequila have soared. To look at exactly how the industry changed in 2020, I asked a panel of tequila experts to weigh in.
When it comes to selling tequila these days, retailers and restaurateurs have little trouble getting product to move off the shelves and from the back bar. But the question is: which products?
Tanteo Blanco 42.5%ABV - 85 proof - The nose is clean. There’s a nice mix of cooked and fresh agave that’s carried by some light alcohol vapors. There’s an ever so slight sweet floral note and just a hint of a green vegetal note. It’s a nice simple blanco nose without any distractions. There’s some initial sweetness from the cooked agave and then the cooked agave itself arrives before. It’s dense on the palate and it has some salinity and minerals. The proof shows up as white pepper and clean jalapeño capsaicin. Overall this is a solid blanco that can be an everyday sipper but it will also do very well in a cocktail.
