We sent six blanco tequilas to 28 members of the Tequila Matchmaker Tasting Panel to rate blind. Four of them are new to the market, and two of them are tequilas that have been around for a long time.
The Suave line is a solid, clean, additive free line of tequilas. Jaime Villalobos Sauza really puts his all into making this a special brand of tequilas.
I enjoyed this immensely Sweet aroma, inviting butteriness, orange citrus, toasted bread, and cooked agave. The taste was fruity with delicious green apples being the most prominent and dominant note perceived, with a fresh and soft vanilla sweetness that complimented the fruitiness while the taste of buttery golden toast added a decadent flare for the palate’s enjoyment. For me, I could drink this consistently and revel in its flavors with no complaints and be content to have this as a go-to for myself. I love tequilas that make me want to eat what I’m drinking and this is soft earthy fruits in a bottle with the perfect tinge of a bready yeast note. I wish this was a bit higher proof, I can only imagine the amplified notes. Bravo Jaime Villalobos Sauza.
