Apples, spices, pepper, fresh agave. Alcohol numbing.
This Blanco is 80 proof but it tastes like a higher proof tequila. The nose is full of clean fresh agave, white pepper and alcohol. I taste the vegetal agave first and then a mix of bright citrus and pepper. The finish is nice; it lingers. There isn’t anything harsh about this but it lacks depth. I attribute that to using a autoclaves. I’d recommend using this blanco for making a nice classic margarita. ¡Salud!
Green apple nose, spicy flavor and finish. Nice mouthfeel but the spicy finish is too much for me, personally.
Had to give this a ten in the value catagory because it was 16$ at Costco. Overall a nice tequila . Sippable for sure .
Nice downgrade to the 100 proof version that until recently was the only blanco in the line. Loads of agave right off the bat on the nose and on first taste. Resolves to caramelized agave and some anise along with alcohol numbing.
NOM 1443 | Great tequila for the price. Additive free and tastes cleaner then a lot of blanco high end tequilas that can’t prove they are addictive free.

Not great, but not offensive either. If they are adding additives, they aren't gross, I don't taste any. I like it for the price. I'll be buying it again.
NOM 1443 | Not too peppery
NOM 1566 | It’s alright overall. Smell is slightly odd, taste is ok, finish is ok. Price is really good for the quality. Would definitely buy this as a mixing tequila or for a party
Aroma is a little funky. Taste is good but no real fun happening. Finish is pleasant and uneventful. This is ok to good tequila. I like that it’s organic and all that. This could make great drinks.
NOM 1443 | Aromas of agave, pepper, alcohol and hint of apple. Lots of agave flavor. Spicy hot peppery finish.
Agave up front. Mint, then a flat taste dry. It's not a sipping tequila. I would shoot it with citrus after. Maybe grapefruit.
All around, a very simple, one-dimentional tequila. For the price, it is a good value for a decent mixer... but I would consider this on the low rung of the sipping-tequila ladder.
I’ll have to try this again sometime, but what’s in this particular bottle of mine I did not enjoy.... Very bland from nose to finish... I pick up the Green Apple notes that many are sharing but not in a way that I feel stands out in a complimentary way. It’s got a very thin mouthfeel too..
Got this at a store blow out price and decided to try. It’s not bad , but not into the green apple , olive smell taste thing .
A favorite lower cost brand, or as another said here: "Top of the middle shelf" (great line!). There is real cooked agave, pepper, mango, very nice: NB: Only drink blancos, on ice.
Decent tequila. It has a pleasant agave aroma and flavor. A harsh alcohol finish. Don’t think you can find this tequila in Mexico, that always makes me hesitant. I did enjoy it anyway
A decent nose, but the flavor and finish were unpleasant and harsh, full of alcohol and burn. Hated the aftertaste and it really struggled in a margarita. Definitely not buying again ($25).
Generally agree with the comments. Holy green apple aroma! Strong agave flavour. A bit peppery. Fairly strong alcohol in the nose and flavour. I enjoyed it! Not the best, but sippable for sure. I do pick up that olive flavour (that I have only ever encountered with Fortaleza). A very decent value at $44 USD in Washington State. A bit harsh on the alcohol and not a huge finish. But solid nonetheless. Would make a DAMN fine marg. Second impression...... Very very strong cooked agave. Delish! Rating bumped to 86. I like this juice! People keep saying spicey and I am now getting a bit of cinnamon on the finish. Top of the middle shelf.
The aroma on this was surprisingly pleasant. I'm immediately greeted by green apple, with notes of raw and cooked agave underneath it. The nose takes on a more vegetal quality after a few more seconds, along with some pepper. After letting it sit for awhile longer, it starts getting minty with a tinge of citrus. I was pretty excited to taste this after experiencing all the scents on the nose, but was left disappointed. I do taste cooked agave, but the alcohol was quite harsh and hard to get through. If I close my eyes and concentrate, I get a bit of a briny flavor and black pepper, which was a bit of a relief from the alcohol. This got better in the finish, with the pepper flavor standing out and then slowly fading away.

Aromas and flavors of agave, citrus, and green apple. The spicy finish makes me think it's higher than 40% abv, but it's mostly well done. Good budget sipper. Edit: Had to come back and give an extra point to the aroma. The green apple note has grown on me since I've opened this bottle.
