Over priced, over hyped “smooth” tequila. Column and diffuser product. Poor agave notes.

Aroma notes of mint, black pepper & solvent Flavor notes feel metallic throughout then ease out to raw agave, with a hint of spice (pepper/anise), but with a finish of fake fruit. . Flat tequila with interesting notes. Slightly overpriced. ($45-55 price mark will be reasonable)

Very unique and good for what it is. Aroma, taste, finish are all good. Very smooth but it’s a bit of a stretch to call it tequila. I don’t get agave at all. No pepper and it’s really sweet. It’s worth a try and a fun expression.

I just gotta say, this product sucks. Medicinal nose. Unpleasant mouth feel and kind of nasty finish. Waste of money.

Hmmm. Well you either love it, or you hate it. Personally I’ll stick with more traditional methods and an agave forward flavor profile.

Heavy amounts of anise to the nose. The nose is alright not great but where this tequila takes a down fall is in the taste and over all finish. But what can you expect from and over priced diffuser.

Sweet agave and citrus.. medicinal with a very light nose. Pepper, there’s a light burn and fades quickly.

Aromas of green apple (jolly rancher), sweet bubble gum and varnish. Disappears in the mouth with saccharine sweet finish. Unfortunately, a diffusor product with, I presume, additives. No agave here

Nose of citrus, berries and spices. Floral. Cinnamon, licorice, fruit and some heat at the back of throat. I can hear the groans... But I’ve had worse. I liked it better than the Joven. A little cloying sweetness on the finish.

Very surprised ! I have had the sipping tequila and this one at a much lower price point (still little overpriced) and I expected this to be not great! At 1/4 th the price of the sipping tequila this is great. Little expensive but very enjoyable Blanco

(Rated blind) Varnish aroma and flavor. Chemicals. Not pleasant at all. (This is what you should expect from a diffuser-made product. Made on the cheap, then sold as if it wasn't. Downright offensive.)

I don't recall another tequila With this nose profile. taste is strong with cinnamon and dry herbs. it it's still oddly sweet with banana. its different, not bad, but not my style.

Casa Dragones leaves me wanting more. Very light on the nose with almost no agave. Light green vegetal flavor with no burn but a numbness on the back of the throat. I only paid $49 for my bottle so this improved my rating. I think they wanted $89 for it.

Blind rated. On the nose this one is very citrusy and aromatic. Agave is barely perceivable if ever. Strong note of mint and anise dominate the aroma. In the palate it's very smooth, almost no burn. Here again strong notes of mint and anise, slight pepper and no agave. Only in the long finish finally cooked agave makes its appearance. Finish is in fact my favorite part on this one. No doubts this is a worthy juice, simply not enough agave presence overall for my taste.

Aroma: lacquer with cherry. Flavor: some cherry comes through but over powered by chemical flavor, would not know this was a tequila. Finish: short and sour.

Nose is floral with some fake sweetness. Legs are very slow to develop. Flavor has that floral element as well. Finish is of moderate length.

Very strong agave notes and also slightly medicinal and citric. Initially, I got a strange note (I think peanuts) that mellowed as it sat. The flavor is much more balanced. I get some agave as well as some pepper. It's an interesting tequila. The aroma wasn't my favorite and it's definitely overpriced but the flavor is decent (not great but not terrible). There are just so many tequilas at half the price that I would much prefer to this.

Strong floral aroma with undertones of agave and a hint of black pepper. Slightly syrupy texture with spicy flavor and a hint of vanilla. Quite a bit going on here. So far from a classic blanco that it makes you wonder what exactly is going on. Finish is short to medium and leaves you wondering...

Rated blind. Nose was a little chemically harsh on the initial pour, but softened into agave notes after opening up, some nice fresh green herbal/vegetal notes though as well. Nice legs in the glass. Has a quick hint of sweetness upon entry and becomes agave-forward without overwhelming the palate. Launches into a great pepper finish with citrus accents. Very nice. Not overwhelming. Pretty pricey though, probably not worth it. I would drink this again if someone else poured it for me, but at this price I would certainly be looking to other options. This gets hit hard on value, which also impacts buy/recommend scores. This is a 3x distilled, highly filtered tequila. I also think a diffuser may be used in extracting lower-quality agave starches for fermentation.

It has done appealing notes but heavy alcohol and bitter notes as well as being thin. Might be useful as a mixer.

This blanco has a very unique profile when compared to other mainstream/additive blancos. I think it’s miles better than Casamigos, with a kind of grassy, drawn out flavor. I used this in a lot of margaritas I’ve made and was always proud that it stood out in the drink. Now that I taste it again I think “well at least it’s not as bad as Casamigos and it’s a lot more drinkable than a lot of other brands.” I think it’s about $70, and I’ve seen it for $100 at certain liquor stores. The bottle sure is pretty and it’s a nice experience, but I wouldn’t buy it again now that I’ve tried the proper brands.
