Brine nose with some agave. Brine follows through on the palate and finish. Don’t love it

If this were a $65 blanco I could see buying it often. This blanco has a lot to offer in a cocktail for sure as it is big and bold. The nose is full of agave both cooked and raw. I get cinnamon minerals and an ever so slight hint of lactic. On the palate it is first and foremost agave forward. Then it hits you with black pepper and citrus notes. Minerality comes through strong. I getting mint and maybe a bit of anise. The finish lingers but not with its best flavors. I wanted to really like this tequila as it competes with the pretty bottle tequilas in the bar scene. I am afraid that this tequila isn’t the one to win over those lovers of artificially sweet pretty bottles. It’s a decent tequila that is way overpriced for what you get.

Nose: earth / agave raw / vegetal / olive / mineral/ hint of lactic/ hint of apple / lime/ hay / celery / sage / herbal Taste: agave sweet/ vanilla/ pepper/ earth / minerals/ banana/ melon / hint of citrus/ anise / sage/ lactic / hint of bread Finish: very clean bright cool watery mouthfeel that ends on cinnamon and sweet agave/vanilla notes / the lingering final swallow carries a bittersweet ending This blanco uses a tahona to crush and press the agave and that often gives a sweet and unique flavor that is identifiable. I’m not getting that here. There’s something missing here: this tahona made blanco doesn’t have the ‘x factor’ taste that other tahona made expressions have. It’s very flat on the nose, and though there’s a nice sweetness, it just doesn’t ‘pop’ and shake you by the tongue and make you think ‘wow’. It’s good, but it’s good for half the price…not what this bottle is commanding on shelves.

Volcan is a solid brand and I truly believe that the best is yet to come but for me the price hurts this. It’s 40% and 700ml for $130-140. I’m not sure I could name another Tahona brand that has a blanco in that range. It’s solid to drink and made really well but at the high end of the price range.

This is such a well made blanco, very balanced with cooked agave, vanilla, citrus, pepper and a little anise. Beautiful bottle, price is up there but so is this tequila.

Amazing tequila, minerality and sweetness from the Tahona process without harsh notes. I never knew Volcan de mi Tierra could taste like this. Surprising given the fancy bottle. Value is not that great in Mexico vs. other Tahona made tequilas but it’s a great purchase nonetheless, especially as a gift to friends that value presentation.

This is phenomenal Blanco tequila made in the most traditional way possible. I've said it from the beginning and I'll say it again now... it is the best tahona additive free Blanco product ever put into a tall pretty bottle... nothing else in that category compares. Absolutely delicious tequila

Initial aroma of orange peel and earth, followed by cooked agave and earthy anise subtle undertones. Super pleasant aroma, for sure. Flavor has dominant caramelized agave, with some mint and black pepper. Great sweetness that appears during the finish. A big thumbs up on this one.
