Nose: sweet agave cooked / vanilla/ caramel/ oak / earth / cinnamon/ banana / hint of citrus / tea / nutmeg/ maple / cream soda Taste: agave cooked / pepper / vanilla/ caramel / oak / earth / banana/ citrus / molasses/ maple / tea / nutmeg / cream soda Finish: medium viscosity mouthfeel gives a nice gentle texture that holds some of the more bitter and peppery notes / the sweetness falls away quickly and for the most part the most lingering notes are agave, vanilla, and pepper. This anejo is balanced and has a somewhat harmonious taste profile, only the tastes just aren’t bold. This is an enjoyable pour, but there’s just not any specific stand out flavors or aromas.
1584 tepozan anejo I've had the flight of tepozan for a couple yrs now. finally opened it tonight nose: vanilla caramel palate: vanilla caramel, more oak on palate than nose this was my favorite of the 3 tepozan expressions I tried
1584 tepozan repo I've had the tepozan flight unopened for a couple years. finally opened them tonight nose: caramel vanilla barrel spices palate: somewhat like the nose; a little flat finish: alittle flat too nose is better than palate. may be better in cocktails than sipping
1584 tepozan blanco. I've had the flight of tepozan unopened for a couple years. finally opened them tonight. nose: funk, fruit, pepper. I waited for this to open for about 45 mins. at first it was just funky, not in a good way. kind of like rubber. the nose got better, but still not great. palate: better than the nose - agave, fruit, pepper finish: mild heat
2nd night: The aroma presents itself with a pronounced grassiness, intertwined with fresh agave, a hint of tidal brine, subtle sweet potato notes, and a peppery ethyl overtness. This olfactory profile lacks complexity, offering a very straightforward experience upon initial assessment. Moving to the palate, the flavor profile mirrors the aroma with consistent grassy notes, accompanied by white pepper, raw agave, and a tidal wave of briny bitterness. However, after allowing the bottle to rest for an hour, notable changes are observed. The brininess and peppery character have subdued a bit, revealing a soft floral note and a hint of butteriness. A mild heat is felt on the throat, adding to the tasting totality. The tasting journey concludes simply, with a faint sweetness accompanied by a presence of alcohol. The consistent thread of brine and grassiness persists, throughout the tasting experience.
Aroma is very sweet with fruit (pineapple?) and butterscotch. Flavor opens with a distinct sweetness but quickly moves to a spicy heat. A tannic dryness shows up at the end. Finish is medium length. 2023-12-24 2023 Annual Christmas Eve XA Tasting
As the fastest growing spirit in the U.S., tequila has overcome its bad rap as the cheap, college hangover culprit, while simultaneously breaking into a fixated market, where vodka and whiskey previously reigned. What propelled this shift?
Tepozán Tequila is produced with a steadfast commitment to the traditional method of tequila-making using only the highest-grade, mature blue agave, natural yeast and volcanic filtered well-water from Master Distiller Don Carlos’ estate.
The next SENS sweet agave with a slight hint of pine. I get honey and vegetal notes. I get a bit of yeast on the nose. This is fruity. On the palate I get the sweet agave. A little alcohol forward that buries some of the flavors. I get minerals and earthiness. Good finish with a little too much alcohol. This is good but nothing special.
