The Corrido line is just a great line of tequilas. This is the best of the bunch. The smell, the flavor, the price, the presentation...this tequila is probably my favorite tequila when you factor in flavor and price.
Late last year I had the pleasure of sampling Corrido Cristalino, and I was a huge fan of the tequila's complex flavor, writing that it is "nearly as perfect a blanco as you can get." When I was given the opportunity to taste the new Corrido single-barrel
During the time of U.S. Prohibition, the Corrido, a musical form of Mexican folklore, often honored the tequilero, or tequila smugglers, who gained popularity along the border. The "smugglers" of Corrido tequila are hoping for a similar popularity.
NOM 1499: On the nose, loads of caramel, vanilla and oak. Sweet cinnamon and a bit of spice and fruit. On the palate, definitely a ton of oak. The caramel is very present. The oak is a little overpowering for me, I’m not loving that. Nice natural sweetness and some agave hidden in there. The vanilla comes in and out and lingers on the finish. Overall solid. A little overoaked in my opinion, and at $90+, it’s a little pricy imo. I appreciate the use of Mexican wine barrels.
