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.
Great nose. Cooked agave coming through and the rain water gives it a very fresh, green, grassy aroma. Flavor is nice. Sweet, with some cooked agave, minerality, anise toward the end. I get a little fruitiness as well. Finish is not super long but good. A little bit of heat on the back end and finishes green. I wanted to like this tequila more but it’s got a sweetness (not fake) to it that I don’t love and I feel like the agave is a little lost.
