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.
Starts with aromas of vegetal, celery-like minerality, loaded with vibrant citrus, with some hints of black pepper and sage. The flavor blends citrus and pepper into a base of light vegetal sweetness and cooked agave. Well-balanced on the finish, leaving behind continued notes of black pepper, agave, and celery, with no bitterness at all, quite phenomenal.
