Tasted at LA Tequila Fest
Every aspect of Tequila Aldez gave me a sense of connection… from bottle to label, to cork to their mission, they worked on so many details to ensure their product could differentiate, but also provide purity and integrity in their organic tequila. Aroma: This certified organic tequila has an entrance that is covered with contrasting layers of cooked agave (caramel & butter), followed by a peppery & citrus (peels) notes. I enjoyed the sweetness nuances from the cooked agave. After letting it sit a couple minutes, towards the end it provides a musty/minerally essence, wonder if it comes from the deep well water source or cork. The alcohol intensity is at a medium level. Overall, it does not offer a very complex aroma profile, but it provides the essential framework for a well-made artisanal tequila. All layers work on a balanced way to provide an austere and simple profile. Notes: cooked agave, butter, citrus (peels), black pepper, earthy & minerals. Flavors: As you dive in, the aromas perceived before are exemplified once you taste it. The cooked agave sweetness remains, but gets accompanied by some butter & caramelized notes that are more prominent that in the aroma. Mid palate you can get some semi-sweet citrus nuances, but quickly dissipate. Texture is mouth-warming, with a short finish that does leave a slight sweet mint and metallic end. Notes: cooked agave, caramel, butter, citrus, mint, black pepper, metallic
Carmel and fruity not complex but damn good sipper
Wow. I like this. Great smell agave ,pepper vegetal. Taste of nice rich agave, with slight bit of fruitiness, and butter/ slight caramel flavor. With a nice light peppery finish. Very nice blonco
You can easily sip this certified organic tequila neat and the bold flavors will compliment your favorite tequila cocktail. I smell an earthy agave scent with a peppery vegetal note. There are hints of citrus peels. The nose is pleasantly rustic. I taste buttery cooked agave up front and then agave sweetness and mint hits the mid-palate. Some light vegetal notes appear along with pepper that lingers into the finish. Their bottles are made of recycled Coca-Cola glass and the labels are made from recycled paper. They even use recycled corks with their wood topper.
nose is excellent very earthy, peppery, & agave forward. Taste does not quiet match the nose & is sweeter than expected. The finish is a little short, slight vanilla
NOM 1480 | 5/2/25 Aroma: not very aromatic at all. What you do smell is some faint funkiness and alcohol. Can’t discern agave well maybe some green agave notes. Taste: interesting - some different levels of flavor opening up thoughout the taste. On the front I’m hit with mild alcohol and some weird sweetness that is morphed to some greener notes mint grass and then followed by more sweetness at the end. Can’t say the flavors wow’d me in a good way. Finish: long earthy finish with some burn throughout Not digging this one; I’ll need to revisit
NOM 1480 | Nose - cooked agave, citrus,light grapefruit, minerality Taste - agave,peppery, light vanilla, just a little sting but good
This tequila has a harsh alcohol burn and finishes with notes of added vanilla flavoring. I'm sipping Ocho now and don't think my bottle of Aldez will ever be finished
Nose has softer fruity notes. Taste has minerality but there's also a hint of vanilla for me. | Once it opened up and using diff glass: stone fruit, champagne notes appeared
Aldez Blanco organic is exceptionally pleasing to taste as well as the aromas from beginning to the end. It is well balanced from the first sip to the last. The nose reveals cooked agave, clean and crisp aromas of pepper and citrus. On the palate, the pleasant gentle sweetness of the cooked agave is quickly followed by a terroir-driven earthiness, delightful pepperiness reminiscent of jalapeños and white pepper with a long, crisp finish with touches of citrus zest. Aldez Blanco has such a long and satisfying finish. Every sip makes you crave the next.
Good aroma. Smooth. Light agave. Slight tingle.
Raw agave on the nose. Complex flavor. Agave, tomatoes, salsa. Not the smoothest finish but enjoyable.
Smooth, a rich agave flavor, and organic!
A basic tequila w a decent flavor. Definitely points for being organic
