Smells lactic, almost Oniony, garlic, Taste papery metallic Finish : clean with some burn
Herbal. Cítrico. Mineral.
Aroma is very wild, smells of a Raicilla. Sulfur big time. Acid drives the palate. Interesting but not what I like in Tequilas.
Definitely a great tequila. Tried this at the los abuelos/Fortaleza distillery in tequila. Not sure why los abuelos has a higher rating than Fortaleza as it is the exact same product just different labeling... a great tequila non the less!
I feel I make make the same review over and over for this distilleries products......smells and tastes like someone shoved your head into a copper still. Tequila people taking the time to do things right, you never lose sight of the roasted agave.
This is the version available in Mexico. In USA it is the Fortaleza label. Nice aroma of agave and yeast. Flavor of agave and black pepper. Long, pleasant finish. Value was based on comparison to other artisanal, tahona offerings.
Los Abuelos Blanco: Lot 60-B. (Fortaleza) I bought this bottle while visiting the distillery in Tequila, Mexico. It’s a beautiful property but this is a tequila review so here I go. On the nose I detect a lot of fresh agave and citrus. I smell lemon and a faint sweet agave finish. The taste is a mouthful of cooked agave, just the way a blanco should be. There is a pleasant white pepper finish. This tequila is well worth the price. FYI: This tequila is branded as Fortaleza in the US.
Many pours of this Lote 64 Blanco on Lobster Bus 12.
Suave en boca, a mi punto de vista un tequila bien hecho, aroma a agave cocido y tierra
Lot #18. Rich toasted Agave, with a sweet honey and Agave finish. This is my 1st bottle.
This is my very favorite tequila for sipping or enjoying neat with grilled foods
Sweater nose, good taste and finish.
It's a tequila that I revisit often. The lots change a bit but the buttery/ agave aromas stand out in this product. It is a complex tequila that shines in its flavor profile.
I love the tequilas made using the old school methods. Tahona extraction, stone ovens, open air fermentation & copper stills have the best effect on the agave. A little expensive but well worth it.
