I’m drinking this in a restaurant so my notes might not be a deep as usual. The nose is great. Fresh agave, bright citrus (lime), white pepper and brine. I taste sweet cooked agave, olives & minerals. The finish is perfect for a higher proof tequila. I paid $21 for 1.5oz and I’d do it again. Salud! AustinTequilaConnoisseurs

A transportive agave experience

Update: I came back to this bottle after a few weeks and tried it again fresh. I like it better this time around and even more with a few drops of water. The flavors develop a bit more for me with a touch of water and this ended up being a pleasant sipper. Has that characteristic aroma of silly putty and meaty flavor that I find among spirits from NOM 1146. Very desirable to some but just not my preference. My wife described the aroma as "savory grilled pineapple" and I think that might be a more accurate description than my note above Nevertheless, this is a high-quality spirit worthy of trying out.

Deceptive nose, I get a lot of vegetal and nutmeg but not overwhelming agave. Completely different story in my mouth, this is so clean and pure agave, reminds me of tasting ordinario straight out of the tank! Really great juice, lovely aftertaste fades slowly.

Honey, lychee and agave sweetness, low to no oakiness, the agave is the star Nose has alcohol warmth, light spiciness and light fruits

Well I'm in love with this one. great smell tons of agave. A lot of agave flavor and sweet finish. Just amazing the only down of this tequila a little expensive but is like having an extra añejo Blanco the right way.

Nose is big and bold, I love it. Agave, citrus, a pinch of cinnamon and wet grass after rain. Really round and full mouthfeel. Cooked agave, I get slight olive notes that round into pepper at the end. Long and complex finish that keeps me thinking about the flavors dancing in the back of my throat.

This is amazing. It is as flavorful or more than most of the XA i have tasted

Cooked agave and cinnamon on the nose and the taste is everything you’ve heard and more. Loads of agave, citrus and a pleasant pepper. THICK mouthfeel that really satisfies. This is a special bottle for special occasions!

One of the more flavorful blancos money can buy, definitely worth the price tag. As agave-forward as it gets!

Great blanco with notes of cooked agave, green pepper, citrus, earthy minerality, and a smooth mouthfeel and long finish.

Is it expensive? Yep. But i really like this special treat. The agaves are harvested at the peak of ripeness to impart natural sweetness. The distillery is at 5,255’ and has a distinct microclimate. And although it is cooked using an autoclave, it has low pressure, almost emulating a horno. The three year rest in stainless tanks mean that all these wonderful, natural flavors come together that you wouldn’t normally find in a blanco. What does this mean? The aroma is of cooked agave, cinnamon and graham cracker crust and smoke. The taste is unadulterated with baked agave, spice, cinnamon earthy tones. Its quite viscous. The finish is smooth and reminds you of what a great tequia should be. Again, price is high, but you are owning one of only 8,000 bottles released to the US, so its quite a treat. Buy two bottles.

This is an amazing example of what an amazing blanco should taste like. lots of cooked agave, cinnamon and other baking spices, anise and a slight vegetal grassy note. the finish lingers and says Hey! Time for another sip!!! limited edition of only 9000 bottles so if you can find one, buy it!

It just doesn't get better than this. A textbook blanco that perfectly showcases how good this spirit can be. Astonishing.

Nose: Olives and brininess. Nice fruity agave, cinnamon and lite pepper. Flavor: Very viscous. Honey graham flavors. Rich sweetness meets smokey herbal notes, and they are harmonious. Otra gracias a G&S!

Just, Wow. Amazing and unique blanco.

Sipping freshly opened bottle at Blue Agave Republic in Albuquerque. Full of cooked agave and a bit of Olive Brine with spice.

One of my favorite Blanco tequilas. Fruitier than one often finds in Los Valles tequila with some tropical fruits and roasted agave leading the aromatic pop. Soft and easy to drink with peppery notes and additional baking spice with layers of flavor. Add a touch of water (but not too much) to let the aromatics run wild.

My favorite blanco! Lots of flavors and a great finish

Very spicy and quite smokey for a blanco Spice lingers with bitter finish

this is one of the most complex Blanco's on the market. i can't quite place the nose... very unique, earthy brine and green olives. incredible flavor start to finish with a great agave finish

Aroma: hints of pepper, orange blossom and a bit of brininess. Definitely mellows as it sits for a bit. Flavor: Lots of cinnamon and orange. Incredibly smooth and flavorful. Finish: Nice and smooth. Expected it to be hotter for high proof but really solid.

This is an interesting one...aroma is heavy with agave and specifically cooked agave. The sweetness of the cooking is very evident. Incredibly complex flavor profile that includes agave, mint-y spice and raw vegetables. Over time, all these flavors intermingle to create a really nice flavor with a medium-long finish. Although it's hard to pinpoint exactly, the 3 years in stainless definitely has a pretty big impact. This is a really good, distinctive tequila. But, it's double the price of blancos that I truly love (Fortaleza, Siete Leguas, Suerte) and is uncharacteristic of what I would call a "classic" blanco. Nice as a treat but it won't become a standard for me. 6/29/2017

Wow this stuff is good.... Got it at K&L wines in Redwood City.

stunning! piles of nutmeg & Cinnamon. my absolute favorite blanco.
