Top picks of off-the-radar tequilas that soon-to-be enthusiasts should consider.
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.
Traditionally-made Tequilas Rise to the Top of the 2017 Spirits of Mexico Competition.
Aug 12, 2023 G4 side-by-side old white label and newer blue label blancos Old white label G4 L0002B Nov 17, 2012 has a more tropical nose - banana, melon, some alcohol/heat. not a lot of pepper on nose. Palate - sweet agave New blue label G4 LEXP0014B Apr 4, 2022 nose is more grassy, vegetal, rain. Some slight malalactic notes, jalepeno, green pepper, a little alcohol. Palate pepper agave. Both are really good they're just different. The white label bottle had been opened and parafilmed for some time and we just opened the blue label tonight. will revisit blue label again in a few weeks -------------------- G4 blanco Tasted July 9 2022 NOM 1579 Lote L0002B Nov 17 2012 NOTES: this is an old bottle that's been open for awhile so nose and taste may be more subtle than if new. I didn't note finish NOSE: rain, agave, alcohol, pepper, caramel TASTE: agave, pepper, mellow flavors I rank this in the middle of the six 1579 blancos I tasted tonight (all but don vicente) it's about equal to terralta and pasote
