Nose: cooked agave /tiny bit of smoke/ earth alcohol/ slight pepper/ pineapple/ citrus / lemongrass Taste: cooked agave /sweet / pepper / pineapple/ orange/ alcohol / Finish.: bright and clean - tiniest bit of mint and lingering sweetness and pepper The slight smokiness is the hint of this expression using more classic and ancestral techniques to create this delicious higher proof blanco. Great taste with some sweet and spicy finishing notes. This tequila has a taste that is memorable and can bring you back to the experience of your first taste to enjoy it every time.

Nice nose with beautiful agave that follows through into the palate and a long pepper finish. This was tasty.

I have lived this one from the very first taste. I recently rated this blind in a Fuerte Friday challenge and it too the round. I find the nose on this one unique with cooked agave and a light malolactic aroma. It has vegetal notes along with a minerality. It is herbal with a touch of alcohol on the nose Taste wise I pick up cooked agave with citrus. It is herbal and earthy. I get black pepper and a bit of mint. The ABV works to greatly enhance the flavors and does what you want a high proof to do. I highly recommend this one.

This has so much more flavor than their regular Blanco with a nice mix of vegetal and citrus and pepper and minerals. Definitely recommend.

Awesome nose and flavor! On tongue agave, baking spice, bright citrus/herbs, very beautiful flavor, nothing off, very well balanced blanco, easy sipper every day

I have the limited edition bottle with 10% fermented with fibers that I bought at the distillery. Wow! This has it all. Rich, buttery mouthfeel, sweet cooked agave, pepper, citrus, lite anise, and just a touch of that 1599 funk! Hard to tell this is 46 ABV so be careful! The finish starts with some quickly fading heat followed by freshly cooked agave taste lingering.

I love this funky product. For me it's a 92 for this one aa well as the 10% (fibers version) made for Mexico only

I don’t have anything snappy to say, this is amazing, but it if you find it.

Nov 18, 2022 tasted at distillery. such an amazing tour. good tequilas! I'm told u can only get this in Mexico so we purchased a couple bottles from the distillery to bring home

Light heat, sweet agave, balanced. Finishes nicely

Bottle #107 Lote 2/21 Nose: Sweaty, cheesy. Herbal: thyme, marjoram, oregano. Mint, cucumber and trace minerals. Sweet agave. Flavor: Honey like sweetness/texture attack, with equal measure of white pepper heat. Cinnamon and cloves contribute to the pop of pepper heat. The Mezcal like lactic note mellows somewhat on the palate - but still in the forefront. A vague umami cracker flavor : sesame or caraway? Finish: Cinnamon red hot candy and feisty pepper on the fadeaway, riding on a silky sweet agave wave.

Wow!!! This reminds me of Mezcal in aroma. That blue cheese aroma. Sounds weird but it’s the aroma I got. Earthy taste and peppery finish.

Moderate viscosity carries a ton of flavor in this Espirítu Fuerte. Agave on the nose, agave on the palate and a long lingering finish with a fading natural roast agave sweetness make this an exceptional sip. I've said this once before regarding Criollo that products like this are like drinking distilled liquid agave with a great balance of heat, sweet, ethanol and pepper.

Had this one in Tequila Mx. Great cooked agave with a long nice finish!

Lots of citrus, green pepper and mint on the nose. Black pepper, mint with a sweet cooked agave finish. Very good!

This is a really well done high proof blanco. Aroma: cooked agave, black pepper, minerals, vegetal with some notes of citrus, pear and anise. Taste: cooked agave, pepper, vegetal and minerals. Really nice mouthfeel and medium to long finish. Flavor just lingers for a bit. Nice clarity. Really enjoy this one.

I’d put this as one of my favorites(had the one with fibers). Love the smokiness and minerality of it.

Aroma: slight butter notes and lactic, cooked agave, alcohol, slight vegetal, minerality, citrus, pepper, grass, mint,fruity, berry, strawberry, pineapple, slight smoke notes very minimal Palate: cooked agave, slight sweetness finish the a light bitterness after taste, alcohol, vegetal, citrus, licorice, anise, minerality, floral aftertaste, Not a bad high proof not a fan of that light bitterness after taste that is slight but then disappears into floral notes Sippers, mixer or both: this is a good sipper and mixer

NOM 1599. Bottle#1332. Batch #AT01/823. This tequila is different but in a good way. Lots going on with the aroma from agave, pepper, citrus, vegetal, lactose and earth and something almost cheesy. Pleasant oily taste is of agave and cream with pepper and citrus on the finish. Real good.

Aromas:cooked agave, sweet, citrus, vegetal, grass Taste: cooked agave, herbal, citrus and pepper Finish : is very balanced lil peppery and no burn

Had both the US import and the Mexican made with 10% fibers. Both are great with the 10% fiber getting the edge. Such a quality producer.

Destilado con fibras.

AT01/823 Beautiful agave forward nose. Clove pepper, anise and cinnamon on the palate. Nice mineral fade!

Only lost points because I bought it in Canada and paid an arm and a leg for it…but worth every penny

Smell has vegetal greens, brine, some minerality, faint hint of cloves and anise. Starts of sweet on taste, followed by some ethanol, and ends with pepper and bitters. Slightly hot for a 46% compared to other HPs. I like the overall profile. Rating reflects the average $90 price tag this is going for. This should be valued at $65 to compete with the alternatives like Lagrimas.
