Zumbador Tequila Reposado
“Such a great pour at a great price. The price to quality ratio is where this shines. Having said that, it does taste great. Agave shines through with some lighter sweet caramel notes. I am a Zumbador fanboy. My favorite is the high proof, but I’ve liked everything I’ve had from them. ”

Hacienda Vieja Blanco
“The aroma presents with some agave, some brine, and some alcohol. A bit of an odd sensation was that I could almost smell warmth /heat coming from the top of the glass. The taste had a touch of pepper and some vegetableness, and nuttiness. It finished mildly and watery. There was some residual chest burn but it was not overpowering. I only paid 23 dollars for this so it’s hard to be harsh. Not complex but also better than many other options that cost significantly more.”

Ocho Tequila Plata
“Agave, floral, mineral aroma. Floral, citrus and agave long front with a kick of pepper and alcohol at the end. I really love this Blanco, an excellent easy sipper on a nice relaxing evening.”

Fortaleza Blanco
“Lot 215-B. Clean, outdoorsy aroma, smooth mouth feel. Lightly peppery flavor. Warm, clean, refreshing finish. Tastiest tequila I've had to date. It was 60-ish dollars ($64 maybe?) and well worth it. I've only been drinking it neat and I think that's the way I'm going to continue. (Maybe I'll make at least one minimal margarita before it's all gone).”

Cascahuín Tahona Blanco
“The subtle smells and and flavors that develop along the tongue are the highlights of this blanco. Heavy agave and pepper aromas, pine nut earthiness and bright herbal notes. Wonderful smooth texture, very light cherry undertones dominated by herbs, spices and butter. Magnificent finish. Price is a downside, but I’d buy several if I can get under $70.”

Wild Common Tequila Añejo
“Wild Common Añejo — NOM 1123 Nose Sweet from the start with an almost coconut-like note, followed by vanilla and brown sugar. Cinnamon comes through along with a noticeable whiskey/barrel aroma. The barrel influence is definitely present, but rather than taking over, it adds another layer to the sweetness and spice. Taste & Texture Thick and rich in the mouth with excellent viscosity, coating the tongue and clinging to the glass. The sweetness continues immediately from the nose, joined by cinnamon and pepper. Barrel tannins add a pleasant dryness and structure while a warming tingle develops across the tongue. Finish Long, sweet and peppery. The sweetness that started on the nose carries all the way through the finish, accompanied by cinnamon warmth and lingering spice. The barrel remains noticeable but never becomes overpowering, and the tannic dryness provides a nice contrast to the sweeter notes. Overall This was the bottle from my Texas haul that I was most excited to open, and it did not disappoint. There is a consistent sweetness running through the entire experience—from the coconut, vanilla and brown sugar on the nose, through the rich palate, and into the lingering finish. The thick mouthfeel gives it a richness that makes you want to slow down and enjoy every sip. What surprised me most was the whiskey/bourbon influence. Normally, that’s something I don’t particularly enjoy in tequila. Here, however, it works. The barrel doesn’t overpower the tequila or turn it into something else. Instead, it complements the sweetness, cinnamon and pepper while adding vanilla, brown sugar and drying tannins. For someone who normally criticizes a tequila for becoming too bourbon-like, that’s probably one of the biggest compliments I can give it. ”

La Pulga Tequila Blanco
“Excellent highlands tequila. Lots of agave in the aroma. some fusels. but balanced and smooth finish. great for a sub $50 bottle. ”
More info →“This is a really good still strength Blanco. The finish may be a little hot for my liking but it is expected for 54% abv! The flavor is excellent but I think I'll stick to No's 7 and 9 for sipping and I'll make amazing cocktails with the No 10!”

Cazcanes No. 9 Blanco
“This is a very good high proof blanco. Very sweet and agave forward on the palate. The finish is nice with just a little bit of extra burn from the additional 10% abv! Highly recommended!”
