There’s a lot going on here but the secret is to let this open up. Drink slowly! Aroma is earthy, floral, a bit fruity and cinnamon. But it keeps changing over time as the alcohol blows off, so it’s a fun experience as long as you have some time. Lots of agave sweetness and a super long finish. A touch of mint and creamy caramel flavors. This is a fun tequila, but seriously take it slow and cherish it. And the agave-from-seed thing is mind blowing

I was hoping to love this after some of the early press I saw. I do really like it but it doesn’t meet the hype for me. The nose is earthy and floral. I get raw and cooked agave. I like a chocolate note and this has it. Maybe even a little strawberry. I really like the nose. On the tongue, I was hoping for an explosion of flavors but I get a dominant note of alcohol, anise and minerality. Agave comes through but pulling out individual flavors is hard. I let this rest a while but it is a first pour. It is possible this goes up for me later but for now it is a good offering, not a great offering for me. This one gets better as it breathes. Updated by a few points on third pour.

Clean agave and pepper on the nose. Pepper follows through the palate and finish with some heat. I like pepper so it’s good but the complexity is missing for me

Will update with tasting notes soon.

9-3-24: Let it breathe more and tried again Nose: earth / olive / citrus / pepper/ hay / sage / salt Taste: sweet agave cooked bomb / peppermint/ vanilla/ anise / cinnamon/ pineapple/ grapefruit/ orange peel / lemongrass/ lavender / hint of tobacco/ salt Finish: medium viscosity mouthfeel / lingering peppermint, anise, sweet agave cooked / the peppermint is very strong through the whole taste, but the anise and agave sweetness balance this well This high proof blanco is very enjoyable, though it has a strong lingering peppermint/spicy note that carries on well after the swallow, but leaves a minty freshness. After a second pour a couple days after the first try, the sweetness has risen up to balance the peppermint and spicy cinnamon and give a nice balance between the two. This is quite good and really appeals to the sweet tooth in me.

Amazing nose on this one. Very different, mint, pine, sweetness, flavors of citrus, cooked agave, very balanced, not a lot of heat on this one for 100 proof. Excellent

1 word....INSANE, and yes for the people that are confused, I raised my score from my video because the more I drank it.. the more I loved it

Had the Maestra Selección on three different occasions and enjoyed each pour. The nose has floral notes while the flavor has traces of dried fruit. Had I not known that this is the first seed grown tequila, I still would rate it high. Highly recommend trying it!

upfront nice but can tell it's hot or high profile, the middle is nice and the finish spikes you in the back of the throat.

Nice fresh nose with bright herbal, vegetal, and touch floral notes and some earthy notes. On the taste, got an initial sweetness followed by stone and wildflower honey. With more sips, got mint, bitter pine, and salty notes. Somewhat reminded me of the strong notes in the new Madre Tequila. Overall, a very nice HP for a reasonable price.

This is very enjoyable. It started out very light with an agave and citrusy aroma and an agave light pepper minerality with some tropical fruit earthiness. After about 10 minutes- wow- it really opens up- more pepper and agave- anise- citrusy and a silky agave pepper and earthy finish. This is truly something different- great job. Did someone say this is higher proof- I could not tell in any way… incredible.

This is a unique high proof with a great nose, fantastic flavors, and an amazing finish. For being 100 proof there is hardly any heat on this one. Nose: cooked agave, earth, grass, cinnamon, vegetal, and orange peel. Palate: cooked agave, grass, olive, cinnamon, vegetal, citrus, and anise. The finish is my absolute favorite about this high proof. It just lingers around and has a great viscous mouth feel. Very enjoyable sipper.

aroma: fruity and floral. a bit creamy but some cream on the nose. taste: definitely some heat at first, strawberry and cream.

Nose is pretty hot with alcohol and agave, the mouth I do enjoy, sweet cooked agave. Finish is strong and long. Will need to revisit this another time.

Hot on the nose, sweet palette, long finish.

Nose is amazing and floral. Drinks super hot. Hard to get over the heat and this is from someone who loves high proofs. Story is cool, but bottle doesn't live up to the hype.

Nose, cooked agave, grass, sweet ,minerality, Wet cement, alcohol, sugar cane , some raw agave, light cinnamon , some chocolate notes, strawberry, Palate: cooked agave , minerality, has a bite , lingering sweetness, citrus, grapefruit, orange peel, slight licorice, some anise, cinanmon, light chocolate notes, light caramel notes, slight vanilla Overall has a bite and finished sweet lingering finish. Good sipper let it rest for a bit and it tames. Overall decent blanco would not say it’s the best I’ve had but it’s good would buy another bottle depends on how much you get it for I paid 69.99 but I’ve seen it for 59.99 to 69.99 by me. As it opens up the alcohol tames and some nice aromas come out.

My first foray into Mijenta’s catalog, and I feel as though I’ve done myself a disservice. I’m not sure how much better it can get from here. On the nose I’m hit with a composite aroma which I can safely say I’ve never experienced in a tequila before. To start, this is a very floral nose, as though I’ve found myself strolling through a flower garden. Herbal notes are also detected, along with blue cheese, and grass. On the palate, ripe cooked agave is centerfold & sweet, with more floral notes, spearmint, anise, licorice, green olive, lavender, peppermint and cracked black pepper on the back palate. The finish is mid to long with a mid-range viscosity and a surprise appearance of melon & tropical fruits on the tail end. Yeah, this stuff is really good, like REALLY good. The fact that the eight year old agaves harvested for this expression were grown from seeds is as remarkable as the tequila within the bottle. Edit: knocked down a point for slight metallic finish. Not enough to detract too much from this delicious blanco, but the more I sip the more it stands out ever so slightly.
