Aroma: 24 Generally very rich with plenty of depth and heft. Caramel, oak, and caramelized agave from the start. Vanilla and earth then start to lead the show. Soon followed by sweet fruit. Berries and a touch of creaminess. Palate: 28 Mouthfeel is pleasant with good viscosity and presence. Mild ethanol at the beginning which quickly dissipates. Cooking feeling. Kicks off with oak, agave and earth. Pepper then starts to evolve which is soon joined by sweet vanilla and mild fruit. Finish: 23 Finishes with spice and pepper which lasts for longer than I expected. It is also quite warming and provides the classic Kentucky hug which is quite enjoyable. Value: 8 My bottle was a very kind gift from friends so I don’t have the exact number. Typically goes for $125 in San Francisco so I will judge based on that. Hard to get a truly quality extra Anejo aged 4.5 years in 2 different casks from a proven brand while spending under $150
Minty, herbal, peppery with a strong agave flavor. A good high proof worthy of 1123.
Another great bottle from Chava and the team. I was able to get from the distillery so the price was right. If you’re paying crazy secondary prices then it will def change the value component but a delicious blanco as Chava reminds us how incredible he is.
Beautiful nose of agave. Floral, minerality, minty, jalapeño, green pepper. The best nose you can imagine. Beautiful palate of agave and then jalapeños and peppers. Beautiful mouthfeel can’t wait for a bottle of this.
The conversation has shifted to highlight producers that omit glycerin, sweeteners, and other additives in their product. But is additive-free the only indicator of quality?
Sorting through the options can be overwhelming, which is why we always opt to trust the experts. To get their take on a workhorse option, we asked bartenders to share with us their go-to tequilas.
An estimated 70 percent of all tequila contains undisclosed additives, like vanilla extract and aspartame. One couple is on a mission to change that.
The 12 finalists are tequilas that offer vibrant and varied aromas and flavors with good texture and a pleasing aftertaste.
Lou gives some mighty high praise for this affordable blanco tequila.
The team behind the Tequila Matchmaker have launched a “Verified Additive Free” program for tequila brands and distilleries. This is the first known independent, additive-free verification in the spirits world.
Largely dependent on U.S. bars and restaurants, Mexico’s craft distilleries are in trouble, and trying to find new ways to connect with consumers.
