I couldn't pull much off the aroma besides vanilla, perhaps due the fresh plastic concert cup dulling the smell, yum. The taste was sweet and not off putting, I could not decipher agave but did note little to no throat burn, a floral note stood out and also soda creaminess that turned to a pleasant coating of the tongue, with citrus as well. The finish was easy going with a tad bit of pepper but mostly a subtle sweet floral exit. I have to buy a bottle to better explore.

This was just ok. A decent budget-friendly blanco but has some medicinal characteristics. Light flavors of citrus, hints of raw agave and pepper. Not very complex. Could be a decent mixer for the price.

Aroma of cooked agave and vanilla. Flavor was similar. Mild finish

Nice aroma, cooked agave with that slight heat. Finish’s nicely. Great cocktail base, could sip this two. Value driven from a distillery of multiple brands. Over delivers

Nice mid ranger with notes of agave vanilla and pepper. A solid choice in this price range.

This blanco is aged in Chardonnay wine casks for less than 2 months, which imparts a tinge of color. Nose: Faint note of the famous La Cofradia funk, laced with vanilla and marshmallow. Fruitiness and a floral presence. A bit of dust and earthiness. Pleasant but timid nose. Flavor: Vanilla sweetness, pepper and spice heat. Marginal bitterness on the sides of my tongue. Medium body with some viscosity. Nice idea resting on Chardonnay. Finish: Pleasant enough heat and sweetness in the finish. This won’t dazzle you with complexity, but it is a decent stand alone pour.

Cheap as chips & tastes like tequila should, not sure what else I should add. It’s too bad brands like this don’t have big endorsement and personality behind them, it would win people over in droves.

Bit harsh in the nose. Finish tastes artificially sweet. Excellent value for 19.99 on old town tequila!

This is an interesting product, a blanco rested in wine barrels and not just oak, a very cool label, very dense artistically, drawing on many iconic tequila and Mexican images and really, really inexpensive. It still for me has a bit of the Cofradia funk but I am enjoying the blend of wine elements and the slightly viscous and oily blanco tequila. Very mild on the palate this has a fairly long though somewhat one note finish. Alcohol never overwhelms the flavor profile and this ends up with some lingering agave sweetness and some acidic wine elements.

This caught me by surprise. It reminds of that dish at Thanksgiving-sweet potatoes with the marshmallows on top. It almost dominates the aroma and first impression on the palate. There is definitely a baked agave presence, but carries a sweetness throughout. There is a spiciness that lingers mid-throat. Reminds me of other brands made at La Cofradia. For the price, its an interesting juice that i would recommend.

Nice agave and big floral on the nose. Flavor of agave comes through, some sweetness,and mineral comes through. The finish is good with agave still in the mouth and a little bit of spice at the end.

The Mi Campo has an interesting and unique aroma. There is a bit of cooked agave but the dominant aroma is sweet pineapple (or perhaps even marshmallow). The flavor has a spicy heat that is a combination of pepper and baking spices. The warm, spicy finish lingers for a relatively long time. 11/03/2018

NOM 1137 | Surprisingly smooth and an excellent price point. Lacking any varietal flavors but I’ve certainly had worse blanco’s at higher prices

NOM 1137 | Aroma: agave alcohol & citrus Taste: alcohol, citrus, pineapple Finish: Quick

NOM 1137 | Great value and smooth and tasty for shots

This tasting notes review is based on three separate tasting sessions during which I took detailed notes and four additional tasting sessions without notes spaced out between the three note-taking sessions. For the first and tasting sessions, I used a Riedel tequila flute glass and rested the tequila in the glass for about 20 minutes.  For the third tasting session, I used a Glecairn to see if the glass shape would affect the aroma profile.  I feel that the Riedel may have highlighted the blanco’s aromas a bit better than the Riedel, even though my usual favorite glass is the Riedel. The aroma profile during the first tasting (bottle opened on 20 September 2024) had a very strong vanilla that struck me of a dialed-back version of the weird artificial vanilla smell of Casamigos blanco.  This vanilla has subsided somewhat over the month and a week that the bottle’s been open.  After swirling the blanco in the Riedel, the vanilla aroma significantly lessened but was still present in between wafts of alcohol, some citrus notes, floral elements, and a tropical fruitiness (citrusy, like pineapple, though not immediately as strong or prominent on the nose).  There was an earthy quality to the blanco with some, but to me not much, cinnamon and baking spices.  The cooked agave aroma stayed mostly in the background, masked by the vanilla and the alcohol. On the palate, the cooked agave and the sweet cinnamon and baking spices were more noticeable, much more than they were on the nose.  There was also black pepper, some caramel and vanilla, that tropical fruity sweetness with citrus, light floral element, and earthiness.  On the exhale after swallowing a sip, there was a noticeable vanilla flavor with a sweet quality that stopped just before becoming overly cloying.  The sweetness, however, was unmistakable.  The blanco continues to have a sweetness to it, but it doesn’t become cloying because of the pepper kick and some anise-like, and perhaps oak barrel tannin, bitterness.  The cooked agave continues to appear in flashes, but isn’t a constant throughout the sip and is even less present on the nose. Swallowing a sip brings a kick of pepperiness and alcohol heat (the latter has lessened over time) with some warming heat left on the back palate and in the upper chest (this too has decreased over time).  The mouthfeel starts creamy/buttery/oily, but quickly dissipates and becomes rather thin.  The blanco has some viscosity in the glass, with quick-running tears/legs and leaving some pearls behind. The flavors have melded together better over the month-and-a-week that the bottle’s been open.  I preferred (and continue to prefer) the flavors over the aroma profile.  Having said this, I’m not sure I’ll buy another bottle when this one is gone, even at a price point of $20-30 in my area.  I will say that I started off disliking this blanco quite strongly, largely because the vanilla aroma and, to a lesser, extent, flavor is so strong, to me bordering on the possibly artificial, though this could be partly from the wine barrel resting, which can add a vanilla note even to some wines.  Though the strong vanilla aroma reminded me of a watered down Casamigos blanco, this has lessened a bit over time and, to Tequila Mi Campo’s credit, so to speak, the strong vanilla aroma doesn’t become even stronger in the glass after all the liquid is gone, which is the case with the bizarre Casamigos blanco. For the third tasting session, which I did on 26 September, six days after the bottle opening, I used a Glencairn glass.  On the nose, the vanilla aroma was still present and prominent, but was not as dominant as it was on the initial neck pour.  The cooked agave, cinnamon, and sweet baking spices were more noticeable, as was a hint of wine/grape, banana, some coconut, and almond paste.  Some of the aroma that I originally thought was all vanilla may have been a mix of vanilla, banana, and coconut.  There was, and still is, a buttery characteristic to the nose and also the mouthfeel.  There was an aroma that causes my nose to tingle, which may be a hint of citrus, though I’ve thought up to this point that it was the strong alcohol on the nose (which remains). On the palate, the tequila was (and still is) oily/buttery/creamy in the mouth (“smooth”).  It coats the mouth very well.  The flavor profile remains, as before, more balanced and well married (the flavors) than the nose.  There is cooked agave sweetness with cinnamon and baking spices, a floral note, and anise-like & oak tannin bitterness.  There is significant heat left in the throat after swallowing a sip.  Other than the anise/oak tannin bitterness underneath the tongue, the finish remains fairly short (under 10 seconds).  The blanco has become more well-rounded and the flavors better integrated with each other than was initially the case, but I’m still not sure I’d buy this again.

rich aroma with anis and citrus hints. agave flavor raw with lasting peppermint end.

Maraschino cherry and toasted coconut. Smooth. Chilled

Very sweet. Strong vanilla flavor. It does not taste like tequila.

NOM 1137 | Aroma has hints of vanilla and pepper with alcohol. There is a slight floral scent I cannot put my finger on. Taste has the same floral mixed with alcohol and pepper with a little Agave. Not a bad finish with just a touch of heat. It’s a great value but more as a mixer than a sipper although in a pinch you could sip it.

NOM 1437 | The label of this tequila is unique to me the heart of the pins being held with loving hands is what I see. The nose is a lot of alcohol with some sweetness I can’t identify. First sip was easy very soft on flavor with hints of vanilla and alcohol the finish wasn’t pleasant.

NOM 1137 | Aroma - Alcohol forward, pepper, vanilla and a small amount of agave Flavor - vanilla, pepper, some agave but a lot of alcohol

NOM 1137 | Sharp alcohol aroma. Some agave deep down, but that alcohol is overpowering. Fruity flavors on the palate with cherry winning out. I’m also getting some vanilla, but it’s certainly not natural. More medicinal than anything. Some heat at first, but it dissipates on the lackluster finish. Not even the low price point can save this “tequila.”
