The aroma reveals a refreshing minerality intertwined with herbal notes, vibrant citrus, subtle almond, and a gentle touch of alcohol. On the palate, potent minerality takes the lead, brightened by layers of citrus and a peppery kick. Grapefruit mingles with hints of celery, while miniscule sarsaparilla, anise, and spearmint lend complexity, balanced by a touch of honey and earthy tea undertones. The finish trails with grassy, vegetal notes and a distinct touch of pencil shavings, grounding the experience in a final wave of mineral essence.

This is an all around excellent tequila. Every category it rated that for me. The nose is sweet with cooked agave and notes of citrus and tropical fruits. I get bananas and pineapple. It also has and earthy note to it with a bit of minerality. On the tongue, just as good as the nose. Sweet sweet agave, I get my fruits along with butter and a bit of black pepper. I bit of brine and anise. Minty finish with a touch of alcohol. Medium viscosity Great bargain blanco that should appeal to a wide audience.

On the nose, it's grassy, herbaceous, minty, pepper, and loads of anise on the tail with a very deep but not overpowering burn to it.The mouthfeel is full bodied, thick and rich all the way through. I get the mint, anise, grassiness, lemon balm, and much more minerality. It's a very warm and lingering burn that I get with this, I think this could easily be mistaken for a higher proof. Regardless, It's a lovely, budget-friendly option that offers an insane bang for the buck!

A unique expression out of 1579, with a flavor profile different than its peers. Cooked agave is here, but more-so flavors of cut grass, wet earth, and minerals. Subtle elements of mint, fresh peppers and spice are also present. A delicious, complex sipper with an evolving palate, curious midsection, and lasting finish.

Overlooked this one while on a high proof kick but wow, what a masterpiece. Strong cooked agave, sweeness, and mineral spiciness on the nose. Flavor is bursting with agave, black pepper, green peppers, and some citrus in the background. It's a real nice blanco.

Cooked agave and natural sweetness. Herbal (penca) , mineral and agave notes. Easy sipping tequila that would pair well with a white fish or a manchego cheese.

Terralta Blanco 40 abv Lot 1 Lote: 0001B40 (Nov 30, 2016) Tasting Date: June 17, 2022 Nose: Agave, pepper, mint, citrus, fruit, some minerality and stone comes thru Taste: cooked agave pepper vanilla citrus. I'm not getting all the flavor notes I'm seeing others got, such as the earthiness minerality and vegetal flavors. But this is an old bottle I'm tasting and it is the last 1/4 of the bottle. Even so, there is complexity and it is very well balanced. I remembered this was delicious and it did not disappoint! Finish: sweet agave and a hint of pepper that lingers Other: It has what I call the traditional "bubblegum" flavor (in a good way) of a Felipe Camarena tequila. Great legs, nice viscosity- not too thick, not watery, just right. Let this sit. It gets better. Smell the glass when it's done. So good!

Earthy, mineral, peppery, agave goodness! Best value out of Nom 1579.

Just realized while reviewing Don Vicente that I had not reviewed this one. What can I say, one of my favorites from El Pandillo. This is one I have given to multiple friends and family and everyone loves, some (like me) prefer it to G4. I tend to drink more the reposado or 110 XA but this is also very good.

Love the complex flavors in this. Strong vegetal and earthy tones and each so reveals additional flavors.

Very nice blonco Smell of loads of agave, minerals, earthiness(light dirt), root vegetable The taste is similar with agave and minerals up front. Not as much mineral taste like the 110 loads of pepper. A slight vanilla Ed’s in the middle. Very good

Aroma Notes: earth/wet soil & very mineral. Vegetal and spicy herbs (jalapeño/bell pepper/black pepper) Light notes of citrus and tropical fruits Flavors: Cooked agave, mineral/light metallic entrance, then the wow factor comes in….. ready? Great balance of peppery notes, fruits (pineapple/green apple/pear), spices (anise/spearmint) & tamarind.

Cooked agave, herbal, mineral, crush stone, earthy, spring water, rain water, egg plant. Palate: zesty citrus, sweet cooked agave, lime balm, melon, mineral, brine salt. Finish is long with lots of agave.

The use of deep well water definitely gives this an earthy flavor. Definitely recommend trying it as it's a very unique tequila. After coming back to this, I like it more

Tons of cooked agave, sweetness and minerality. Really fresh and bright. Brings just enough heat and has a really nice, long finish. Really enjoyed this as a sipper.

Really unbelievably true to the spirit, clean yet the right amount of heat and spice. Nice citrus notes. An awesome sipper. Really like this one from the best NOM on the planet.

Tasted at El Buho. Then tasted at Don Quinta Jose an hour later! It was a good day in Guadalajara. Aroma is not as complex as G4 blanco but still good. Taste is best: a bit sweet for a blanco but good. Finish is warm and long. This is a solid blanco to sip.

Similar to Pasote, in that it tastes like you're drinking refreshing water from a spring. It's so full of sweetness from the agave, earthy anise, buttery, that it's unbelievable.

Love it! Amazing cooked agave with herbal notes and earthiness. My kind of Blanco

Aroma : Cooked agave, earth and minerals predominate. I also get notes of pickle and vanilla. Taste : Cooked agave, earth and minerals. Vanilla and olives. There is some sweetness here but it isn't overpowering in any way. Finish : Long and prolongs the same flavor notes, with a little more emphasis on the earth and minerals. This has lots of great flavors, and the light sweetness works with the earth and minerals to give a nice profile. This is probably my favorite Blanco of the big 3 NOM 1579 brands.

Wow. Another beautiful product. Smells like the first raindrops hitting the earth ! Huge pop of agave flavor with a beautiful long finish. Bravo

Is there such a thing as too much agave or something being too good?!? This tequila is phenomenal on every level, I have absolutely no critique to write about. Get a case and squirrel this away for anytime you need to smile......it’s that good!!

The mineraliry comes from the rainwater that El Pandillo collects, not only for the juice, but the cleaning of the operation of this eco-friendly distillery. Felipe does it again with this brand and expression. Raw and cooked agave with green beans, olives, pepper and asparagus on the nose and palate. Another home run.

11/30/16 1 T 0001B40 Cooked agave balanced with pepper are most prevalent on the nose with a sharp minerality following along. Seems to be legit legs swirled in the glass. Heat is still carrying through on the tongue but not overly burning.

In my regular rotation for years now. Crisp notes of rich baked agave, pine needles, citrus and dill. Softer notes of vanilla on the nose. Minerals and a faint lactic note. A floral component. The flavors pop! Licorice, vanilla, olives, cinnamon and sweet agave are just a few of the highlights. A nice mineralality as well. A stand out tequila.
