I was surprised by the overwhelming herbal and earthy notes in Arrete’s blanco. Maybe the subliminal message of the horse got to me, but the aroma reminded me of a farm and the taste reminiscent of an herbal tea. I can’t say it’s bad, but not my cup of tea (pun intended).

Good value proposition, I recently realized I hadn’t rated this while sipping it so as good time as any. It probably is the expression I like the least in the lineup but it is still very good both as a mixer and for sipping.

On the nose, agave, and lots of floral/fruity notes. It’s got a salty aroma, and I’m getting something that is almost like banana. Very interesting. On the palate, Sweet, floral and fruity right off the bat. Definitely cooked agave, but it’s mixed in the floral and fruity medley. Very soft, tasty. Not a ton going on, but very easy drinking. A little anise on the finish. Very little heat. I am kicking myself in the ass for not forking out the extra $4 to get the 1L. This is rock solid, and amazingly priced at $22, which I paid in a random liquor store in San Diego. This is the cheapest sipper I’ve ever had, and I think it’s gonna be a damn good mixer if I go that route. Superb, definitely grab a bottle if you’re interested in a neat budget bottle that drinks way above its price.

Aroma : Cooked agave, light fruit, pepper and earth. Somewhat floral. Taste : Agave, pepper and citrus. Also some light cinnamon, and slightly hot. This is fairly light in oils. Finish : Medium length with higher emphasis on peppery spice, there is some cinnamon here too.

Takes a minute to build up but nice agave and green pepper corn notes, finish lingers on without end. Gotta say this is a complete bargain for the price.

Nose: Light colored fruit and agave start. Followed with pepper, an herbal and a floral note, and earthiness. Flavor: Vanilla, cinnamon and a hot pepper blast. On the “rustic/macho” side. Finishes with pepper and hints of grapefruit rind. A Jackfruit tang finish.

The first time I tasted Arette was at the Tijuana Tequila Expo in 2005. After tasting somewhere around 50 blancos (although my mouth felt like it was a thousand, as it was in my early days of tequila tasting), Arette was one of only 2 brands that I was blown away by, on that day. Ever since, I have had a fondness for Arette! And while I may not find their blanco to be overly complex these days, it has has some nice machismo-ness to it, a good finish, and a singular taste that helps it stand apart in the vast sea of tequila brands.

Tried in Tequila Jalisco. Light and easy to drink. Not tons of depth but enjoyable.

Absolutely can't be beat for the price of 1L @ ~$25 USD. Sometimes can be found for $21 with discounts. Especially good for mixing. Personally I'm not a huge fan of drinking this straight - But this is a solid solid mixer, especially on a budget or for people new to tequila that may not want to spend $40-60 on a clean Blanco.

Arette Blanco from a 1L bottle. NOM 1109. Not a whole lot of complexity on the nose. On the palate, a nice agave flavor with a little bit of pepper. A nice finish. Very drinkable at this price point, a great value. Can sip or mix.

A very good budget blanco. I have no problem sipping this and would also make a good cocktail. Nice nose , very earthy with hints of, grass, butter, citrus, cooked agave, honey, cinnamon, black pepper and I'm also getting a little wet cement. The taste is decent too, sweet, earthy, some spice but smooth. finish is a little flat for me, it's not bad but doesn't linger around much. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a good budget blanco with no additives.

This delightful blanco tequila offers an exquisite balance of agave-forward flavors, revealing the purity and essence of the raw ingredient. Its smooth and velvety texture caresses the palate, while notes of sweet citrus and subtle peppery undertones dance harmoniously. With each sip, it leaves a lasting impression of craftsmanship and quality, making it a true gem among tequilas in its price range. Tequila Arte Blanco is a delightful choice for discerning tequila aficionados seeking a remarkable taste experience without breaking the bank.

After bottle opening a faint smell of acetaldehyde that disappeared in a few days. Quite pleasant in the nose, tastes sweet with minerals but some agave is greatly missing here. I like the Arette reposado more because it has more character compared to this one.
