Nose: Black and white pepper with a juicy character. Thick body. Palate: Medium body. Pepper up front which delves into a beautiful sweetness and ends in hot spicy pepper. Finish is long but a little hot. Quality sipper. A little hot for a 46%er but definitely good.

Lagrimas sabino aug 2024 From samples Tom gave me at his tasting a couple months ago Blanco - Nose: at first i got minerality, vegetal, agave, pepper, as it opens I got some fruit and more agave, a little anise, hay Palate: cooked agave pepper anise and something I can't identify. Also a mild bitterness Finish: medium warm with anise on the end Overall: I like it. Good viscosity. Not sure how I rank it against the other 2 vintages. At some point I'll do a side-by-side value bumps this up a couple points @ $64 USD

Goodness! Getting to the end of this bottle. So so good. Amazing nose! Pure bright clean eye-opening agave. The flavor is clear nose tingling super fresh minty mineral agave. More of that lingering through a long finish. Next level. 2 extra points for value on this.

Nose: cooked agave sweet / earth / brine-salt / pepper/ citrus -grapefruit/ hay / minerals Taste: sweet agave !!! / cinnamon/ pepper/ apple / citrus-orange peel / lemongrass/ peppermint / brine/ cream soda Finish: sweet agave bomb / the pepper taste leaves abruptly to create an enjoyable bittersweet clean wet and watery mouthfeel that allows the flavors to fade quickly but in a memorable way This plata has so much sweetness that turns to a bittersweet blanket that wraps your palate and makes you not concerned with the other flavors. The sweetness and the low viscosity mouthfeel work together to bring a smooth sweet memorable pour.

1123 just seems to slay everything they make! I tasted this blind and the higher proof was well hidden. N- blast of agave, fresh herbs, lemon, white pepper, wet earth T- whoa. Cooked agave, minerality, more fresh herbs, seeded jalapeno, lemon rind MF- medium body F- medium in length and everything dissipates at just the right moment V- $65 in Michigan makes this a decent value considering how much this made my mouth happy

Beautiful nose of agave, earth, and citrus. I get a touch of anise and minerals. So complex with flowers and mint and vanilla. Beautiful nose. Taste is first and foremost sweet with cooked agave. I get anise. Vanilla is also prominent. It also has an earthiness and vegetal vibe. This is an excellent tequila and worthy of your consideration.

2nd night: The aroma presents a familiar array of scents, including cooked agave, anise, and minerality, which set the foundation for the olfactory experience. Subtle undertones of cooked sweet potato, citrus, and peppermint add depth and complexity, while a interplay of light ethyl and alcohol notes, alongside hints of vinegar and olive, contribute to the overall aromatic profile. On the palate, bold notes of anise and minerals take center stage, providing a robust flavor foundation. Flashes of butterscotch and cooked sweet potato add layers of richness, while the presence of peppery ethyl and an alcohol note inject a subtle warmth and intensity to the taste. Additional nuances of berry, bitter dryness, vanilla, and candied peppermint emerge, contributing to a multi-faceted palate profile. The finish unfolds with a fading pepperiness accompanied by vegetal undertones and a subtle dryness that adds depth and texture to the overall sensation. The clinging delicious minerality serves as a final reminder of how much I enjoy tahona crushed agave.

Nice bright agave nose. Signature cascahuin. Long legs on the glass. Easy going palate with not a ton of flavor but turns into a sweetness on the finish with a lingering heat and a slight bitterness but not with every sip. It’s nice but doesn’t dethrone Palo Verde.

Nose: Very clean agave. Possibly younger maturation. Overall very good, but no notes outside of rich cooked agave. Pallet: A little peppery, compliments to the 92 proof. Elegant oily mouthfeel that coats the pallet. Bouncing between earthy and wet slate notes. With lighter minty notes following through the finish. Finish: Very citrus and that mint note forward. The ethanol lingers with the oily coat. Great pour overall! $62 where I live. I’d say being a vintage selection in the blanco additive free space, it’s a unique option. For face value there are a few selections that emulate many of the same quality considerably cheaper from the same NOM. But 7.8/10 would recommend.

Outstanding. Great earthy flavor. The higher proof heat doesn’t overwhelm the flavor and makes for a long finish. This is a must have on the shelf.

Sampled Sabino 2023. I could smell this stuff all day! Getting cooked agave, earthy, vegetal tones, makes my mouth water. Tasting cooked agave up front, followed by vegetal and mineral. Just a whisper of anise. Peppery long warm finish. My first sampling of hi proof tequila. Definitely makes my top 3,up there with G4 and El Tesoro! Would highly recommend!

Smells of earth and vegetation and mild agave and alcohol. Tastes of bell pepper, minerals, earth agave, mint, mild sweetness. Finish is dry earth and mint and bell pepper. Very vegetal. The longer the tequila remains in the glass, the more vegetal it becomes.

Bargain price, excellent mouth feel. Could’ve fooled me into thinking that was a still strength bottle. Maybe that’s a bit of a daft comment given it 46% but still…. 06.25.24 One additional note I wanted to make is I’ve been on a bit of a Blanco kick and so it might be rated as high as it is because I’m just really enjoying the Blanco ride right now so I reserve the right to change my mind. I ranked it at an 89 today dead sober would be interested, to see the rating again when I get back onto the Anjo or reposado kick.

lots of cooked agave and minerality on the nose. Lots of bright citrus with some cinnamon. On the pallet very oily cooked agave with a punch of citrus notes, warmth cinnamon that stays on your pallet for a while. Theres a bitterness that balances end that lingers with the cinnamon. Great tequila!

Nose - Agave, brine, anise, fresh cut grass Taste- cooked agave, vegetal, brine Finish - good mouth feel, brine and agave finish

Clean agave minerality on nose, incredible flavor, minerals, white pepper, mint , spice and nice pleasant lingering agave spice note

Sampled at a friends house. This was a memorable pour. Loved it.

Aroma: herbal, pepper, minerals Taste: agave bulb for sure. Citrus and minerals come through. Buttery Finish: the finish is long an sweet. Buttery as well.

Nose: earthy, alfalfa, cooked agave Flavor: cooked agave, butter, pepper Amazing tequila. This has to be one of the best I’ve had.

Very vegetal, earthy, lots of agave. It’s complex, a lot going on with this one. I will have to try again, but I highly recommend.

Aroma: This is where this shines! Agave and Anise greet you at the door! This is definitely a Valley Tequila as the Pepper and Cinnamon aromas mix with the Vegetal, Herbal(Mint), and Grassy notes in such harmony! There is a very sweet Citrus(Lime) that blends with Tropical Fruits(Papaya and Dragon Fruit), even a little vanilla! Typical of Valley Tequilas is the Earthy tones brought in with some Minerality, which is very present here. After 10-15 minutes of opening up a light Floral note can be detected. Taste: Another winner for the brand! Immediately you get the Agave! The Light Pepper/Cinnamon can be felt all the way through the finish. It isn't a heavy spiciness, but you know it's there. The blending of Anise, Mint, Grass, and the Vegetal quality are harmonious together! The Earthiness and Minerality gives off this Wet Cement flavor in the best way possible. Citrus plays the role of bringing that little acidic taste of Lime to the party! The lighter Tropical Fruits are in the mid-palate accompanied by a slight Vanilla note. After 30 minutes of sipping, the Floral note comes through on the taste as well. Finish: The Pepper/Cinnamon extend all the way for a long finish mixing with the Cooked Agave, Anise, and Citrus. This is great release from Lagrimas Del Valle! Another incredible sipper from the Cascahuin Distillery. If you haven't tried anything from the brand, definitely find some! TMM-90

1123 usually can’t do anything wrong in my book but this plata wasn’t the one for me. Too much ethanol and vegetal on the palate. I will definitely revisit this again.

1123 never disappoints what else can I say?

Nose: sweet, cooked agave, raw agave, vanilla, grassy, mint, mineral, earthy, alcohol. Palate: same on the palate, agave bomb! White pepper, mint, earthy, and mineral! Signature Cascahuin blanco! Great complexity and a bit of heat! Finish: long! Must buy! Bought in Denver for $65
