Nose: Vanilla bomb. Clear soft vanilla, the dominant note. Cooked agave in the back, but then the vanilla and fruity notes come in. Some oak. The vanilla is shockingly abundant though, so sweet and inviting. Palate: Very soft agave and vanilla intermingled, oak, fruit. Maybe a slightly overripe banana note, almost notes like a rum. Sweet, oily, a touch of brininess. This is not the typical 1139 flavor profile I am accustomed to, but it is very nice.

thank you to Cody Lundquist for the sample. I love the nose on this. you can definitely tell it's an 1139 product = sweet cooked agave, anise, mild floral and a hint of pepper. nice mouthfeel with an easy finish.

Nose: agave raw / earth / mineral/ pear / citrus / anise Taste: sweet agave cooked / pepper / vanilla/ banana/ earth / mineral / lime / anise / tea / cream soda Finish: watey wet cool water effect / lingering pepper, agave , and vanilla. Nice smooth finish that leaves a fresh mint taste. This blanco is from Villa Lobos…a brand that died. It’s very good and begs the question….why did it die?

This tequila has a pretty good nose. Has an agave nose minerality, and pepper. It has some citrus and cinnamon with alcohol vapor The taste has similar notes. Agave and citrus. It does pepper that is a little too prominent.

Great complex nose. This is one reason I love high ABV. It really enhances everything when done well. Nose has plenty of agave and follows with an earthiness with herbs and minerals. Slight floral notes and a touch of fruit. While the ABV works well on this nose, it may be a tad much for the taste as it is a little overpowering. I still think it has a nice taste of agave, pepper, citrus and mint. Finish is overpowered by alcohol. I still like this one and would definitely drink it again.

Nose: agave- sweet /white pepper/ banana/ peach/ lime-grapefruit notes / floral / earth Taste: agave sweetness/ pepper / banana/ citrus / orange peel / spearmint / honey /alcohol Finish: clean cool water / lingering sweet and pepper finish - has a good mouthfeel- an excellent residue feeling This is a fabulous tequila that may never be made again. The Distillation Strength 55% abv might be a touch high….it could have been 50%, had all the flavor and prevented the alcohol aftertaste. But this overall is a beautiful tequila, and the brand should be revived if possible just based on how good this is.
