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.

Little hot on finish, not much on the nose but nice on the palate. Great for mixing….cost effective

This was a little lacking for me. For $30, it is a good cheap, additive free mixer, but I was not impressed. Tres Agaves was better to me. The nose was a bit too much alcohol to me, missing the agave I crave.

This had an interesting unique bubblegum aroma which was the highlight in this for me. Very light and clean tasting, but did not carry much agave flavour for my palate, which is my preference and is what I look for in a Blanco.

A quality brand, at an excellent price, but I just didn’t care for the flavor.

Honest, straight forward, excellent tequila. Beats out much more expensive blancos at blind tastings.

Wonderful mixer, clean, crisp agave flavor. 1 Liter bottle with no additives and for the price is a must.

For $30, you can’t go wrong for a 1 liter of this. Not complex, but it smells crisp and clean and tastes crisp and clean. Agave, pepper, mint with a medium to long earthy finish. Hardly any alcohol on smell or taste either.

The nose is abit intense at first, but once you take a sip it is smooth and flavorful with the agave being present with somewhat of a light pepper taste.
