Aroma : Alcohol, agave, earth, and some medical aromas predominate. Taste : Cooked agave and alcohol are the top 2 flavors, but there is also some degree of citrus, vegetal, and earth. A little more one dimensional than I would like. Finish : Very light with some citrus and alcohol. I can find this for around $45 a bottle, and while this certainly a good tequila, it's a tad overpriced for what you get, and there are far better tequilas to be had at this price.

Aroma: Agave, asparagus, lime, zest, grape fruit and green tea. Palate: Agave, citrus, sugar cane, camomile, avocado cream, asparagus, vegetal, and pepper dominate the paladar, but finish with a slight burn and alcohol after taste

It’s a lot sweeter than I remember, the aftertaste is a little hollow but entirely drinkable.

Flavor is agave forward Finish slightly thin but maintains flavor

This used to be like comfort food when I really didn’t want to think too much about what I was drinking. But in recent years, this blanco has taken on some suspect aromas and flavors: cotton candy and a bitter finish.

Baked Agave, graham crackers

Unique and enjoyable flavor, mixes well.

nose is strong on the raw agave and plastic. a little spicy. the plastic gets stronger in the tongue with a decent finish of citrus and pepper.

Quite a bit of yeast on the nose. This is an older mini sample bottle from not too long after Diageo took over distribution of DJ. The yeast continues in the mouth, it is almost like drinking bread and I say this while mostly sober.

The aroma is sharp and harsh with notes of bread/yeast and medicinal alcohol. There is some agave aroma here but it is overwhelmed by the other notes. The flavor opens with a bitter almond taste with a bit of butter and sweetness. Both these flavors remain as a strong, peppery spice follows. The finish is medium length and leaves a bitter aftertaste. 8/6/2015

An earthy aroma of agave and citrus. Mild sweet agave flavor with black pepper and citrus. The finish is short with a crisp bite.

Green agave aroma very present, not much to my liking. There's a sweetness to it as well, which is also present when tasted. The flavor is quite flat and simple. The finish is quite rough.

Gave it another try and it was ok. But thin...

former bottle was better

Light nose. Slightly oily. Clean and smooth with some pepper. Not too complex. No big agave. Easy lingering finish. Better than Patrón. Still prefer smaller-market tequilas, but decent sipping if you're stuck at Chili's.

Soft and slightly complex, but not overbearing with lots of sweet, floral and citrus tones. This was for the Mexican market so it was 38% (rather than 40%), and I believe it was one of the last batches to get out before they changed the fermentation process as I find a lot more yeasty notes in the newer DJ blancos while there was only a touch of this on the nose.

Not a bad product and actually a great mixer! Not quite complex enough for me to drink neat. Notes of pepper on the nose and butter on the tongue

Good alternative to Patron. Many bars stock it for those learning to drink it. For me, not a sipper, but a great margarita.

This is like the season wrestler who’s been in the business forever. He may botch a move from time to time, but he’s still good, available at moments notice and gets the job done. Old reliable when you’re at a bar and need something decent.

It’s run of the mill. Not bad, not good. I’m sure Don Julio is presenting to a mass pallet, and that’s cool. But for buck bang I would spend elsewhere.

Light aroma with a hint vanilla. Smooth and oily/buttery with a faint vanilla flavor that’s not watery. However, the flavor is a little too bland. Soft on the palate and a smooth finish with no spice. Flavor is smooth and easy to drink but nothing memorable that stands out. Very unassuming and well done tequila but lacking in flavor.

At many restaurants this is the only decent choice. It’s not terrible, but I always walk away thinking it’s adulterated. It surely is to some degree.

One of my favorites! Totally recommend (:

Terrible taste. Strong alcohol scent. Gives me a headache when opening the bottle.
