NEW Caballito Cerrero Blue Weber (No 'el') 'Distillate' - Freakin Amazing. It has a Mezcal presence, but made just like a tequila is made. no CRT affiliation. This has it all

Simply fucking magical!

This is for the Blanco 46 made with Chato agave, so not technically “tequila.” Huge nose and deeply complex. Super smoky. Drinks like a refined mezcal. Tons of vegetal notes on nose and palate. Green peppercorns on the (long) finish. This brand is something special and I worry about its future.

Old Colored Label Caballito I can’t get enough of this nose - it is loaded with fruity, jammy and floral notes. Big agave aroma with a distinct punch of peach. A hint of citrus and dill. Cooked artichoke hearts. Flavors: Zingy brown spices, oily brown sugar coating my mouth with pepper and alcohol making an appearance too. Still tons of fruit, and a hint of a funky cellar. Finish: All of the above treats, plus pepper heat and lingering almond notes.

New label bottle that is just opened. Roasted and caramelized agave on the nose along with less sharpness with this at 40% abv. Blooms in the mouth and tastes like some naturally sweet agave candy . Fades to lingering sweetness and some alcohol buzz. I like this quite a bit.

Scent of roasted agave, yams, mint, citrus blossom, black peppercorn. Slightly sweet, oily mouth feel. Green tea, cinnamon, mint finish.

Bright aromas of agave, orange blossoms and anise contrast nicely with earthy, wet, leafy aromas. The flavor is more straight forward: loads of roast agave and tons of anise. Nice, warming finish. NB: this is the original Caballito Cerrero (NOM 1114, Amatitán). Good luck finding it!

Super impressed with this blanco! I really have never been a blanco fan (I guess I’ve never had any that have convinced me before this!). Very complex, smooth drinking, and a good feel in your mouth. We’ve been struggling to find this anywhere and came across it in a tasting bar in Puerto Vallarta.

Wow, I have never tasted a a blanco like this, I mean don’t know what to say almost taste like there’s something else going on here. Still like it because it’s so different. Aroma: super sweet like baked yams and toasted coconut maybe some graham cracker Taste: toasted graham crackers maybe s’mores and baked yams again; sweet there is some burn but not typical pepper like burn; I bet this will be a great mixer has a lot of character Finish: not much burn; little numbing and sweetness

pickles? dill, olive, briny. I really enjoyed this. Was quite different for me!

Tasted the Azul 50 abv and it was phenomenal. A lot of minerality and very strong cooked agave notes in it. Citrus and herbal on the nose. Definitely one of the best high proofs out there if not the best.

cooked agave, citrus, grass, pepper, orange pith,

Earth/grass profile Super herbal and vegetal, but still detected some fruity notes. Ends with white pepper and anisé notes Mineral complexity

Excellent! A must try for tequila fans.

This is amazing! I honestly never thought tequila could smell and taste like this. I’m getting all these briny notes. On the nose I get olive brine, spices, chilli, agave. The palate is a bit more straightforward: bitter in a very nice way. The finish is long and sweeter. Overall, an experience that no tequila and mezcal aficionado should miss. Also, the story behind this distillery and its f*ck you attitude towards CRT is awesome.

Very unique. Nose hits you with sweeeeeet strong agave, this is certainly not your usual tequila. Its got a very nice smoky, acetone, cheese funk that all somehow come together. It’s very good, vegetal and clay and a weird sweet pepper complimented by beautiful oily legs. I’m glad I finally stumbled upon this, muchas gracias Quinta Don Jose!

Mineral flavor from spring water

Raw, Real, Earth Power! 3.5 out of 4 Bodyslams!

A smokey aroma at first almost like a true mezcal with a hint of fruit/berries. A nut and berry mix on the tongue. Crisp clean finish. Again a hint of smoke on the aftertaste.

Tasted at the distillery. While the chato was good I prefer the azul agave varieties. Nice aroma great taste and strong finish. Revised 2.5 years later at DQJ in Tlaquepaque. Aroma is still amazing with river rock minerality but also with some very bright flowers and light fruit almost like berries. We need to be able to purchase this in US.

I taste cinnamon

Very vegetal (asparagus), long complex... smacks of a tequila version of Rhum Agricole with notes of Italian brandy. Overall I appreciated it, the girlfriend fuckin’ hated it— we usually agree on things drink, go figure.
