Nose: earth/ mineral/ alcohol/ cinnamon/ slightly fruity/ citrus/ grapefruit/ lime/ orange peel/ bell pepper Taste: sweet agave cooked and raw / vanilla/ cinnamon/ peppermint/banana / pear / green apple / Orange / anise / tea / nutmeg/ clove / hint of cream soda Finish: light viscosity mouthfeel/ lingering sweet agave, cinnamon, anise, and citrus flavors are delicate and delicious / not overwhelming but the alcohol from the higher abv is persistent This high proof blanco has a lot of delicate flavors which is unusual for a 110 proof tequila. They are good and enjoyable but not ad bold as you’d expect. The main sweet notes are in decent balance with the cinnamon spiciness which carries through the entire taste experience. This is a very enjoyable high proof, despite the detectable presence of alcohol in the sips.
Nice nose filled with Agave. A good citrus smell. I get a hint of minerals and a touch of alcohol. The taste is quite pleasant but does come with a strong alcohol finish. For taste I get agave, minerals pepper and alcohol. Even with the strong alcohol presence this is a good HP. For me, a high proof done well enhances the flavor without extra alcohol burn. This should be the ultimate goal of a high proof in my opinion. I can easily recommend this one but be prepared for the alcohol forward bite.
Great high proof, the water mixture makes it taste slightly different than G4, still agave forward, great minerality, pepper and balanced heat
Excellent HP blanco and very underrated. Agave forward and fkn backward... Very well done!
The deep well water creates a spicy, mineral flavor the sets Terralta apart from G4. This high proof has big a load of spicy agave and minerals. I prefer to sip G4 and Volans, but this would is really good and would make a fantastic cocktail.
lote 1
Aroma of cooked agave, Jalapeño, and minty citrus. Flavor pretty much the same with the high proof pushing the flavors long into the finish. An excellent high proif expression and experience.
Edited: This tequila needs time to breath. Second tasting a few weeks after opening. More agave on the nose and tasting. The alcohol has cooled just enough to let the other flavors come through and shine. Still get a lot of green on the nose. Earth, minerals and agave. Bumped it up a few extra points. I like this better than the 40%. Aroma: green and vegetal hit right off the bat. Alcohol and earthy minerality follows. Flavor: intense with a lot of heat that overpowers the other flavors. Agave is a little lost for me. I get a good amount of minerality, green and a hint of cinnamon and baking spice. Lemon zest or grapefruit? Finish: initially pretty intense but fades nicely. Tingly. Leaves a dry bitterness with hints of mineral and wet stone. Overall: my initial thought is the extra proof overwhelms the other flavors a little too much instead of accentuating them. I’m missing a strong agave flavor. It’s a nice tequila and I pick up familiar flavors characteristic of El Pandillo. Found this for $39 in the Seattle area so extra points for value.
A lot going on. Wow! Aroma is agave-tastic with minerals and strong jalapeño and grilled pineapple. Taste is bold with lots of sweet agave and river rock and plenty of pepper. Finish is exceptionally good and long.
Nose: Ethanol hits me first but then the agave dwarfs it. Very clear citrus. Palate: Agave, and an absolutely gorgeous sweetness. Very rounded, spicy. Tons of cooked agave and white pepper. Noticeable minerals in this one, it’s definitely a different tequila from G4, there is some overlap but it’s noticeably sweeter. Verdict: Excellent high proof blanco. Absolutely worth getting, especially if you’re a fan of 1579.
This is about the perfect Blanco to me. High level of viscosity, excellent mineral taste, pepper, citrus, while maintaining the agave flavor. I love higher proof tequilas and to get one with this much complexity in the flavor makes it special.
Initial nasal impact is a definite prickle as expected. Earth, mineral, citrus and agave on the aroma. Oily mouthfeel with generous alcohol. The cooked agave explodes as soon as it hits the tongue. Mineral, fresh jalapeno, grapefruit follow. Some jack fruit on the retro nasal. Great warmth in the mouth lingers on a long finish. An amazing HP blanco. The deep well water at El Pandillo really comes through with this blanco.
Beautifully clear, with tears very slow to descend. Agave and ethanol up front on the nose with a vegetal agave and hot pepper on the palate. Long peppery finish with some grass in there somewhere towards the end. This was a blind tasting and another winner from Felipe at 1579!
Exceptional! Total banger. Wow. Find it, share it, celebrate the beauty of agave spirits. This is an incredible blanco
Cooked agave, herbal, mineral, crush stone, smoke, earthy, spring water, rain water. Palate: zesty citrus, sweet cooked agave, lime balm, licorice anise, cinnamon , alcohol, mineral, brine salt. Finish is long with lots of agave.
this is my favorite 110 on earth at this time. It's also my favorite tequila from NOM 1579 because of the deep well water, which gives off a lot more minerals and presence in my opinion. It's very refreshing, bold and complicated. I think this is the 'connoisseurs' blanco from Nom 1579
Aroma : Lots of cooked agave, some minerals, and green apple. No strong alcohol notes. Taste : Thick and oily and with crisp agave. There's a small degree of minerality here as well, but there is also olive and cinnamon. Finish : Long and somewhat alcohol numbing with plenty of cooked agave lingering for a while after. Normally I would think this level of alcohol would be a distraction from the quality, but it ends up complimenting it considering the simplicity, but full flavor of all the notes.
At 110 proof it’s a little too aggressive on the nose and the finish but the body of this is incredible! Toasted nut and grilled pineapple, really unique and sharp flavours considering the presence of alcohol. Probably going to make a great cocktail if this ever becomes available en mass in my market.
Nose: Big rich, ripe sweet Tahona agave blast. Caramel, dry minerals, cardamom and white pepper, with light cinnamon. The 55% alcohol content is in no way overbearing. Flavors: This is a WOW! Nice viscous mouth feel with caramelized agave and notes of olives, that builds to a crescendo with explosive white pepper, anise, citrus and baking spices. The agave hangs right in there. The whole experience is one of fully engaging all gustatory and olfactory senses. Finish: The finish has a tough act to follow... And I must admit, that the overproof 110 has made its presence known, with numbed lips, tongue and front palate.
Terralta Blanco 110P This HP Blanco has an excellent bright nose. The nose is full of citrus, green apple and fresh agave. There is a sweet smell to offset the alcohol vapors that come with HPs. The taste is clean and the agave is strong. There is a smooth long finish that is still full of taste. I enjoyed this tequila neat but it would be excellent in cocktails because the taste would punch through any sweet that might be added. Salud!
My first taste of this great juice and I do like the high proof tequilas. I look forward to the other expressions.
Butter, toffee, baked agave
Wow! Agave and mineral nose, delicious slightly sweet agave flavor, and the high proof hits you in the finish.
One of the first high proofs that I had and it’s still a go to for me. The mouth feel is excellent the flavor and finish is fantastic. I will always keep a bottle of this on hand.
