Lot 03 | Tasted at “Mexico In A Bottle” S.F. 2024 Mesquite smoke and sweetness.

Lot 03 | Not for me

Love the nose on this well made blanco, cooked agave, anise, mint, light smoke, citrus, minerally …. On the palate light natural sweetness, citrus, earthiness . Nice finish.

Lot 01 | Nose: Raw agave, minerals, mint, white pepper, limestone, has a slight funk but can’t put my finger on the scent, lemon, brine Palate: Cement, agave, nice heat, grapefruit maybe, light viscosity Finish: Medium finish with a nice heat at the very, very end Lot 1

Lot 02 | Lote #2 Incredible viscosity as it is being poured. Nose: Honeycomb sweet agave with a gentle hint of smoke. Cinnamon, nutmeg and mint. Peach, melon and citrus. A fragrant floral note: Jasmine? Gardenia? Chalky minerals and freshly cut grass. Far more floral and fruit focused than the first lote. And perhaps fewer herbal and vegetal notes. A round appealing nose. Flavors: The first sip is palate filling: viscous, sweet and salty. The second sip reveals fruit, cinnamon and anise, smokey paprika, almond cream and toasted nuts. Buttery rich agave with a contrasting touch of mint. Finish: A silky-satin balanced finish slowly melts away, leaving a few farewell spicy punctuations.

Very interesting. Very light nose, agave and some earthiness, a little fruit. I almost want to say smoke, but not quite. Has a hint of something like that general mezcal nose but faint. Very soft, rounded agave on the palate, with a little pepper. A bit of salinity, and some baking spice notes. Got this as a sample from a friend so I’m going to go 5/10 on value. Overall solid stuff, a step above everything I’ve tried at this distillery.

Lot 03 | LOTE 3 42% ABV Tasted at Bowl of 'Zole fest 2022. Could only take short tasting notes. Aroma: Mineral, cooked agave, cinnamon, slight smoke Flavor: Mineral, thyme, cooked agave, cinnamon, pepper, brine, citrus brightness and light smoke. Oily mouthfeel with sufficient heat and some smoke carries through. Not available in NY yet, I'll definitely buy it as soon as it does

Lot 01 | tried all three expressions at LATF 2023. so i slighty increased my rating for the blanco. I like it more. blanco Blanco 86 Repo 87 Anejo 85

This may be an unfair score due to a very loose cork on a sealed mini bottle (50ml). Very smoky aroma and taste with little agave flavor for a blanco. This sample bottle doesn’t taste anything like the other reviews. I hope to try another bottle and update my score at a later date. Updated October, 20222 after tasting at El Buho in Tlaquepaque. Much better, although the smoky flavor is not my favorite.

Lot 01 | Nose:: clean and bright. Minty and citrus. Almost Ike the rind of a ripe grapefruit. A hint of an artisanal twist to it Taste: agave, smoke, warm long mid palate with a few herbal notes Finish: a bit of bitterness on the backend let’s you know it’s legit. I’m excited to see how this gets refined over time in the next few batches. This is fun. Something new and made by a crew willing to go out of their way to experiment. Cheers to that!

Aroma: heavy agave forward, mezquite wood that present smoky character, vivid citrus aromas that finish with a subtle layer of black pepper and light herbs/spices. Flavor: notes of smoked agave, black pepper, anise, herbal, citrus (lemon zest), grilled pineapple, sweet mint, green fruits (apple & pear). It definitely has a buttery entrance to your palate with a mineral depth. You can actually taste its complexity! The finish is clean and crisp that leaves an enjoyable aftertaste to keep sipping it. Slightly high price, but once you learn about the process you will understand why. Small batch :)

Not offensive. At least one person at 1477 can make decent Tequila annd in particular, this Blanco. Roast agave annd a nice mouth feel make this an easy sipper. Price is a little steep for a Blanco and value score reflects that.

I’m smelling agave, a touch of wood like trees in Autumn, a little citrus and some floral tones. On taste, I’m getting the agave shining bright, smoke, light pepper, minerals, and brine. Everything is balanced nicely, nothing overpowers. The legs are long and the finish lingers enough. Very nice traditional tequila from Alberto Partida, definitely worth a try.

Lot 1

Nose: smoke, cooked agave, lemon zest, wet cement, vegetable , lemon thyme, sage, and stone fruit Flavor: oily mouth feel, briny, sweet agave, stone fruit and smoke Finish: medium finish has a nice smoked agave sweetness

I smell creamy buttery agave that has a vegetal undertone and some light pepper. There are some floral notes along with some mineral notes with hints of brine and green olives. There’s a faint hint of smoke and mint. The nose is full and layered. On the first sip I taste agave and smoke. I then get a peppery and creamy mouthfeel. I taste earthy minerals and a pleasant alcohol tingle from the 84 proof. The finish is warm, round and oily with a lingering smokey and peppery tingle.

Lote 01 Aromas: Bright and vivacious light colored tree fruit, and slightly smokey agave at first pass. Lemon/lime citrus aromas, cinnamon and a fresh minty note. An herbal medley: lemon thyme, sage, dill and a combination of finely ground black and green peppercorns. Earthy minerals and a growing level of smoke add interest and depth. Flavors: Bold fruit notes. Buttery, briny, oily mouth feel. Smokey, honey sweet agave, warming pepper heat, assertive spices and anise - all make for a vibrant and clean tasting experience. Finish and notes: The finish is round, warm and balanced…. It fades away slowly and satisfyingly. Kudos to Don Alberto.

Aroma: I get lots of cooked agave, light smoky aromas like pine and mesquite, and just a touch of alcohol. Very inviting. Taste: wow, I love this flavor profile. You definitely get the agave and smoke, but the whole profile is very well balanced. They complement each other quite well. I also get some mineral and lime presence. Finish: quite long and peppery. The smoke lingers as well but I find it quite enjoyable. Overall: I love this. I received it in a swap and know it can be kind of expensive, but I think it’s worth it.

YES! Finally a tequila that taste like something I could find in the hidden mountains of Jalisco poured from a Coca-Cola plastic bottle. SMOKE! UNIQUE! Someone finally stepping out of the mainstream box of how to cook a tequila. Direct flamed. Wood fermentation. Thank you!

Alot of smoke on the nose. The smell is nice. Hit of smoke and pepper on the taste, some minerality and mint. Prefer the anjeo.

Lot 01 | Beaucoup beaucoup de menthe en bouche, ainsi que de l’anis. C’est très original et surprenant comme goût.

Good stuff

Tried at De Nada in Austin. Not in an appropriate glass so a little difficult to judge. Based on the production notes I thought I’d love it but not so much. Great on the nose but didn’t translate to the palate. Very earthy, vegetal and overall a little bland and left something to be desired. Liked their higher proof expressions better.

Lot 02 | Nice citrus aroma. Strong agave and some smoke. Lots of spice in the finish. Very earthy finish.

Lot 01 | Lot 1… Freaking delicious! Got that smoky Mezcal thing going on!
