The initial aroma reveals earthy dried leaves, minerality, and prominent ethyl. Letting it rest in the glass allows subsequent notes of mint, orange citrus, subtle vanilla, and anise to emerge. Upon tasting, potent cooked agave with a delectable prune note dominates the palate. The peppery ethyl transforms, becoming soft and fleeting almost instantaneously. A rich tapestry of fatty buttery spices, tangy fruit skin, jalapeño, dominant anise, and candied peppermint creates a delicious tasting experience. The finish is marked by flavors of purple grapes and cooked agave with a raisin tone, accompanied by fading minerality and faint orange citrus. These elements cling to the tongue, leading to a lingering spicy freshness with soft grassiness. I need a backup bottle.

Cooked agave …. Slight black pepper taste but some sweetness … vegetal

Not a fan of the nose… but the taste is nice. Agave right up front with loads of curtesy and some herbalness.

LJ041904 Cooked agave, cinnamon, melted butter on popcorn, wet grass and slight jalapeno on the nose. Nice oily mouth feel. Flavor hits with cooked agave (with some caramelized bits mixed in) and big baked pineapple followed by banana, butterscotch, cinnamon while surrounded by some jalapeno which leads into a nice long finish. Cut grass is present on the retro nasal. The black pepper heat is just on the front of the tongue. Very nice HP blanco at a great price point. Label on this bottle was black with white lettering

Aroma: cooked agave, sweetness, hay, yams. Palate: agave, spices, salt, lime, grass, jalapeño, mild alcohol, pepper. Finish long with spicy agave and light jalapeño,.

On the nose is cooked agave, hay, herbs, mineral. The flavor had agave, black pepper, alcohol, a nice sweetness. The finish is spicy, there is hint of jalapeño and butterscotch in the background.

Aroma : Cooked agave, vegetal grass, and cinnamon. Taste : Notes from the aroma carry through here too, with some black pepper as well. This is slightly spicy and fairly oily. Finish : Long with butter and grass notes, and some light spice too.

Kind of everything I look for, bold agave with enough body to hold up to a craft cocktail. Really intelligent product, I expect to see this more and more in coming years.

Nose: Huge baked, caramelized agave notes, cut wet grass, dry rocks and roasted yams. Fresh AND rich nose. Flavors: Starts with a zingy and oily mouth feel, full sweet agave, cinnamon and jalapeños. Finish: Lingering pepper heat with a butterscotch-like undercurrent. It does finish a tiny bit hot.

Licorice and wet grass the nose. A punch of agave, subtly for a high proof though. Nice heat on the throat, smooth and long finish. An excellent high proof blanco, punches way above its price tag.

(Rated blind.) Lots of cinnamon, straw and hay in the aroma. Cooked agave in the aroma and flavor. Nice long finish.

Fabulous high proof Arette blanco. First tasted this at the distillery and loved it but didn't have room. Eduardo Orendain made a trip to Seattle for NW Tequilafest and I bought a case. Nose and palate have some alcohol of course, but once the mouth acclimates to the over proof the agave just blooms in the mouth. Long sweet finish of roast agave. One of the best blanco bargains in the market with proof, price and flavor.

Lote: LH271804, bottled on 27-11-2018, tasted on 9-28-23. Aroma: cooked agave, quite vegetal, herbaceous. Fresh & crisp. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, ends with a slight touch of bitterness. Finish is medium to long, cooked agave with herbaceous note persist.

Aroma is so nice. First taste is organic with pepper and earthy notes. For high proof tequila very smooth and enjoyable.

Great agave notes, we’ll balanced nose and long warm finish

Great agave flavor at high proof, , classic agave notes on nose and great finish

Nose: Salt, brine, cooked agave, lemon zest Palate: Full mouth feeling, I cannot clearly identify much, seems pretty simple. Some minerals. Obviously there is agave but it just kinda comes and goes. The finish was much more interesting to me. Some heat on the finish, with long lingering agave that tingles the lips. Nice touch!

Purchased in Cozumel for 773 pesos ($42). Nice cooked agave aroma. Strong taste for my preference, not a big fan of high proof.

Nose: cooked agave, mint, grass, pepper Palate: cooked agave, mint, hay, pepper, spicy, alcohol Finish: nice coating, pepper feel and stays with you

Really good. Major agave flavor experience.

She’s one zippy bing-bongster! On the nose (or nuestra - salud!) a delicate lump of saltwater taffy, sous vide agave and a dappling of marshmallow. On the palate, cinnamon, very light peppery spice and a touch of salt. Really nice lingering finish where the pepper really comes out. Gwarsh, Hermano!

Clean, lots of agave, yes there is alcohol but not unpleasant, overall solid!

Aroma muy sutil Un poco dulce En aroma se siente mucho el alcohol. Fácil de tomar Postgusto muy suave, recuerdos a piña. Dulce, herbal Cuerpo: sedoso, muy amigable, abraza a la lengua.

Agave shines with some unique sweetness.

Light agave nose, but packs a punch with flavors of sweet agave, pepper, and cinnamon. Nice oily mouth and a long hot finish. Excellent!
