Nose is faint but agave, and bell peppers work themselves out. The taste is better than I thought it was going to be but not great. Sweet melon, brine, mint, white pepper, caramelized agave. Medium mouth feel and a long spicy hot finish.
Minimal aroma, have to really focus to pick up mineral, herb, light cotton candy, and agave last. Watery and thin mouthfeel. Taste is peppery, slightly sweet and light grass with agave on end. Burn afterwards doused the flavor. Expected more from this one.
Aroma: grass, agave, fruits. Palate: peppers, grass, cooked agave, earth, sea salt, spearmint, olives. Finish is med to long with earth , agave, herbal notes but sweet.
This had a mossy, wet mushroom aroma that gave way to green pepper, strong thyme, mint and then cooked agave. On the palate had a lot of minerals/iron, raw and cooked agave, mint and medium to strong olive brine. The finish was unremarkable, short and somewhat bitter.

Slightly musty aroma that is strongly vegetal. Agave and a slight briny note (is it the brine I'm categorizing as musty??) are the most prevalent features. The flavor is sweet peppermint with just a bit of spice that builds in intensity...nice. Medium finish. This is a nice blanco but at the price point ($52) there are plenty of others I would choose first. 8/30/2015
Cooked agave, sweet mint taste and nose. Nice flavor, could have richer mouthfeel.
I rated this tequila blind during the Spirits of Mexico competition, 2013.
It’s one of the first tequilas I’ve ever tried and I fell in love immediately! Still one of my top ones but I have noticed what others talked about with this vegetal funk. Ordered a bottle back in January and it had that taste. I swore it tasted different in a better way about a year ago. Did they change recipe? Maybe. UPDATE 4-1-23 Bought a bottle (LTL149) and it has that classic taste I remember and love!! I’m thinking that it just depends on the batches (duh) which is great news because all natural tequilas and each batch are unique in their own ways! 81–> 83
Number Juan Blanco Tequila has a medium body with a great mouth feel. This tastes like an “old school tequila” by that I mean the agave is not hidden by additives. They are true to their roots! Fresh agave aroma and flavor. This has more going on than your usual Blanco Tequilas I have encountered. A slightly longer finish than most Blanco Tequilas as well! Very well made and classically made as well. We made a Pineapple Margarita with it. It stood up to all the flavors that were going on! I highly recommend this Blanco Tequila by Number Juan!!
Number Juan Tried this flight in Dec 2019 when I met Alex in Vegas. UPDATE: I'm not sure which lotes I tried 3 yrs ago, but sounds like those batches were better than what some others tasted more recently. ______________________ The entire line is decent. I liked the repo best. blanco a little hot, anejo a little more oaky.
Update: 10.23.22 - no change on aroma still got some funk to it Flavor: this time around the flavor was a bit more thin than last time; briny with cinnamon and agave No change in score Aroma: got some stank to it; moldy cheese maybe Flavor: alcohol, very briny leaves your palate dry, grassy vegetal - agave in the middle Finish: hear throughout with a salty/briny olive finish
There is an unfortunate armoa and flavor of vomit in my last bottle of number Juan, purchased in August 2022. The bottle I had prior was outstanding. But, something went wrong in this bottle. It is crazy how it can have all the normal good flavors and then have a new vomit essence. My girlfriend said it smell like a fruity alcohol vomit. I hate to say it, but it might be best to stay away from Number Juan for a while till this unfortunate situation passes. After letting the drink rest overnight, I noticed much less vomit smell or taste. I’m sorry to type this, but I swear it’s what happened. I will buy another bottle in a few years but not for now.
Tastes a lot less good since Ron White got on the wagon. Unfair perhaps. But there are much better bottles for this money or less.
I really don’t know what’s going on with this tequila. The nose is confusing, to the taste, Reminded me of LaCofradia Nom 1137. The taste is so citrus bright it’s almost unnatural. I let it sit for about 15 minutes prior to tasting, this time, because I tasted three different times. Now, it goes from citrus bright to a quick flash of cinnamon, nutmeg. The look of this tequila is surprisingly light but the mouthfeel and it and surface tension look heavy and Viscous. This tequila is unbalanced. I suspect they took advantage of the 1 percent rule. With all this being said, there are too many tequilas out there that are far better, same money!
Combination of cooked & raw agave on the nose/palate with hints of spices/pepper. Brine and bright finish, acceptable for sipping and will probably make a great Margarita!
On the nose is cooked agave and heavy earthy aroma. The taste is very nice and different from other blancos I have tasted. The finish is complex and stays on the tongue for a while.
What happened with this blanco!? Their extra anejo and anejo are so interesting. This has an odd flavor balance, I almost taste olives when I smell and drink it (which makes it undrinkable for me). A friend tasted heavy vanilla but I had trouble finding any sweetness or smoothness. It’s been at the back of the liquor cabinet for a while where I presume it will stay. For me, best consumed with soda/lime or in a margarita— there is no way I can sip this one.
great finish!
