Aroma : Vegetal, grassy, citrus, and herbal notes accent light alcohol and raw agave. Taste : Sweet cooked agave and light alcohol. Peppery heat with cloves, pear/peach, and earth. As with other high proofs, the alcohol is not overpowering here, but serves to give more depth to the other notes. Finish : Long and slightly hot with black pepper, cloves, and some potato. Usually I review all of the base level tequilas (Blanco, Reposado, Añejo) in a brand before moving onto the things like extra añejos and high proofs, but like the Excelencia, I had heard so many great things about this bottle, I had to open this up first. And I'm glad I did.

Citrusy, buttery aroma

The Camarenas know how to make tequila. This high proof tequila is a treat. The nose is strong and full of fresh agave, green apple and alcohol; in a good way. I taste white pepper and sweet agave. The flavor is intense and the finish is excellent. It’s truly a treat for blanco lovers. ¡Salud!

Well that was boozy. A very in your face tequila.

Instant sweet with some late heat, not overpowering which surprised me with this overproof. Great notes of agave on the nose and initial taste

I really enjoy drinking this tequila frequently, strong and spicy balanced ! tequila for Machos !

This just made my top 5 blanco list. Great agave and flowery/citrus nose but this tequila is all about the taste! Rich/thick mouthfeel, agave forward with playful hints of lime and a long minty/pepper finish. I also get a hint of something savory mid-palate. Somewhat reminiscent of a good mezcal...

Best high proof blanco I’ve ever tasted. Smooth for proof and went down too fast. Need to have another to give time to open up. A whole lot of tequila for the price.

Legit one of the best tequilas ever made, it’s almost unbelievable that something could have this high of an ABV and still achieve balance and subtlety! Agave for days from start to finish, it has some tropical fruit going on but really this is about agave. Makes a mean cocktail if you’re in the market...

Nose is just as awesome as the regular blanco with even more cooked agave intensity brought through with the added kick. It does come across as boozy but for me I really enjoy the extra heat. Nice long peppery finish. Will be my fav for the next while.

This 110 is just as fun and playful as the 80, but with more complexity. It has the green apple, pear and olives as the 80, but with more herbal, minty punch. I love me some high proof blanco and this does not disappoint. Price is fair considering you are getting a liter instead if 750mls. It’s light and mineraly with wet stone aroma. Sweet agave with black pepper, clove and cherry on the tongue. I love this juice from La Alteña.

Purchased & shipped from Zee @ Oldtown; Maybe it’s the bottle, maybe it’s the size, but Tapatio just screams authenticity to me; I really like this brand; light notes of pepper on the nose, slight agave w floral notes; slight burn (to be expected at 110), but not overpowering; peppery on the backend w more agave; at $53 USD, this is a great deal.

Always towards the top of my top tequilas list!

Needed a liter bottle to take on a trip to Fiji and after checking reviews picked this one up. Very happy! $50 and is delicious on ice. Expect the alcohol to be dominant on a 110 proof bottle but the cooked agave notes very prominent - very happy that I chose this tequila as my traveling companion (and my wife as well).

Opens up a lot with a few drops of water. There’s a burn with the alcohol percentage, but much less than expected.

A lot going on here. Vegetal, citrus, licorice nose. Taste of mature agave and a nutty peach note. Coats your tongue with a rich buttery feel. A bit of salinity. Finishes with fading pepper heat and a banana almond tease. Good balance for all that is going on in this tequila.

Really enjoyed the strong agave presence. The finish is strong with a mineral lingering in the mouth. I'm sure it makes a great margarita that will knock anyone's socks off. Salud!

COLOR: Platinum NOSE: Roasted agave, carmalized sugar, very floral, lime & orange zest, black pepper TASTE: Bright ripe agave, huge floral notes, creeps and then overwhelms palate with clean roasted agave and pepper FINISH: medium body, long finish, clean, light, pepper, slight alcohol burn

Fresh cut grass, peanut brittle, cooked agave

Nice agaveness!

Can drinking all night long !

Sweet, floral nose, with a vanilla note. Very sweet entry, which turns a little acidic and bitter. The sweetness continues across the tongue all the way to the finish, but at the end the bitter notes become more grassy and green. The alcohol is never overpowering, but a few drops of water really improve the taste experience.

Sweet pepper with long finish
