cooked agave, citrus, wet grass, mineral, black ground pepper, somewhat herbal on the aroma. flavor carries over the aroma notes with maybe grapefruit coming through as the citrus component. mineral is still present. some spearmint is picked up on the back end. lacks depth. short finish even though the black ground pepper is a predominant flavor. for under $20, it is a reliable mixer, shots, rocks and emergency sipper. beats any diffuser made tequila. the great value is what put it at the 80 mark for me. UPDATE 06/07/2022: just had a bottle from 2021 and this has changed. Definitely has a slight cake batter aroma and flavor. I can no longer recommend this as a good budget mixer and my rating will be lowered

I’ve heard good thing about this tequila but disappointed me. Nose was okay but went down hill from there. The initial flavor is okay but gives way to a burn that reminds me of cheap tequila shots in college. Finish was alcohol and burn.

Older bottle blanco “1999” best blanco for its value.

Move nose, body is unspectacular and a surprise sweet twist on the end, I think this will appeal to the masses.

Nose: Minerals, a sense of salinity and late blooming baked agave. Flavor: Sweet agave and bread dough, with a pop of pepper. Finish leaves me thinking this isn’t terribly balanced, but it has a rustic tequila taste and I like the lingering pepper heat.

This is an older bottle, from 2005. Interesting nose, slightly floral/sweet, good agave, black tea, and cherries. Bold entry, peppery heat spreading across the tongue, hitting the cheeks with lemon and orange peel. Nice finish, spicy and long. Highly recommend the older bottling, a solid buy if you find one.

Smooth white pepper along with big bright agave right down the middle. Moderately long finish. Nice old school blanco and a great value.

Seems like a good value. A little fruity on the front with some fire on the back.

Very smooth and clean and great value for money. love the aromas of fresh citrus. flavour is good, easy to drink.

A little agave, a little fruit without tasting fake. It’s not bad but it’s not great. At the same time, I wouldn’t hesitate to use it in a cocktail. I feel like that’s the world it thrives in best.

This is the well blanco at Cantarito restaurant in Spokane

Very decent choice for a bar's well.

Good clean mixer on par with Altos Olmeca but at a super bargain price…$15 at Sam’s.

Cake batter and bubblegum overwhelm the finish

Vegetal, alcohol, mineral, metallic, cooked agave aroma. Mild ammonia smell. Cooked agave, metallic, alcohol, vegetal, with a hint of acetone on the palate. Finish is easy and smooth.

Nose: little agave; bland Flavor: interesting; pleasant Finish: medium length; nothing special. Buy again: maybe Recommend: with reservations Value: unsure

On the nose I get agave, citrus, a little bit of mineral, and alcohol. On the palate i get agave, black pepper, citrus and minerals with a short finish. Nothing super special about this, but overall a well made tequila at NOM 1103 Casa San Matias. For the price being between $15-$20 this is hard to beat finding anything worth sipping or mixing at this price point.

vegetable, grassy, herbal, fresh

Mexican 40% abv. version, lote: L200516P, bottled on 26-05-2016, tasted on 12-27-23. Aroma: raw agave, herbal, minerality, aromatic green vegetal notes, alcohol sensation is medium low. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, it has a light stagnant water aroma through my retronasal. Finish is medium to medium long, raw agave with green vegetal & earthy notes persist.

$75 Anéjo

2005 bottle.

A little mediceny Almost has a cherry cough syrup taste to it Not filmy but sits with you a long time Hard bite but drinkable Cheap but not for me

Somewhat pedestrian and simple. Agave, vanilla with faint pepper. Not much of a sipper, but quite serviceable in Ranch Water.
