“Baked agave, citrus, cinnamon, and a soft oily mouth feel. This tequila is a must.”

Siembra Valles Tequila Blanco

87 SCORE

“A perfect example of blanco tequila. Sweet, smooth and sultry tequila. This starts out a bit mellow on the nose. Certainly not that punch of alcohol and agave some look for. It’s more subtle. This all changes when you get this liquid into your mouth. The beauty of perfectly produced tequila shows itself. That balance between cooked agave, alcohol, and a light fruity sweetness. Nice viscosity leaves you wanting that next sip. ”

Zumbador Tequila Blanco

87 SCORE

“Zumbador Blanco Nose: Vegetal and mineral notes with noticeable fermentation and agave sweetness. Taste & Texture: Thick and viscous, clinging nicely to the glass. Fermentation leads into pepper, sweetness and cinnamon. Finish: Slight numbing through the gums and tongue, with fermentation notes lingering pleasantly after the sip. Overall: A very enjoyable blanco with a fermentation-forward profile, good agave sweetness and a surprisingly substantial mouthfeel. Pepper and cinnamon add some complexity, while the mineral and vegetal notes keep the profile firmly rooted in tequila. The lingering fermentation character makes for a satisfying finish. And for $28 That’s the bottle I’d point to when somebody says “I want to try good tequila without spending $50–60.””

LALO Tequila Blanco

75 SCORE

“It’s okay, Agave…yes, Citrus…yes. Then the rest is pepper, earth, and there’s something else there kinda sweet, not floral, I just can’t put my finger on it. Overall though it’s just, Meh. Good, not great. Now with its new distribution network, I’ll be able to find it everywhere, which is good, so it will be my go to tequila when I’m in a bar or restaurant that I don’t know. I won’t replace it in my home collection though.”

Wild Common Tequila Blanco Still Strength

89 SCORE

“The aroma is cooked agave forward with earth, black pepper, minerals, vegetal notes, and noticeable alcohol. On the palate, cooked agave leads with strong minerality and earth, followed by vegetal notes, alcohol, and a slight metallic/astringent edge. Great mouth-coating texture. The finish is long with a nice lingering burn that reminds you this is still strength without becoming unpleasant.”

Jose Cuervo Especial Gold

59 SCORE

“There’s not much of anything on the nose except alcohol and artificial sweetener. The taste is complex, but in a bad way. I get hints of butterscotch, honey, wet grass, rubber, and more artificial sweetener. Practically everything BUT agave. The finish is short and unpleasant, and reminds me of plastic, varnish, or sewage. ¡No bueno!”

1800 Silver

66 SCORE

“I tried this years ago, without rating it. I got a pour to refresh my memory. The nose is alright: agave, citrus, & alcohol. It’s clear in the glass, but not oily or viscous. The taste is clean, but medicinal, with a sharp alcohol burn. I taste agave, but also mint, citrus, and gasoline. The finish is pretty long lasting, but more of an alcohol burn than a pleasant taste. 1800 Blanco may be OK as a mixer, but it’s not for sipping. Pass. ”

Viva Mexico Madera Blanco

91 SCORE

“NOM: OneFourOneFour. Wrong you cannot go. While I’m not the most terribly well and widely tequila-ador, this would be my go to. $75 retails (and I snagged it for half that at Sip - should have bought a case). But, I’ve not had a tequila at any price better. Much like all things fine, it reminds you of other fine things and then of nothing at all. It’s tequila and somehow not. The why scotch does. Or a Dylan song that defies words. Or the best cigar that can never be had again. Buy the ticket. Take the ride. ”

Mijenta Tequila Blanco

87 SCORE

“Cooked agave, citrus and floral notes on the nose, alongside black pepper on the tongue. A hint of vanilla, cut grass, and minerality as well”

Lost Lore Reposado Amburana

88 SCORE

“Lost Lore Reposado Amburana Nose: Sweetness with noticeable barrel influence. Taste & Texture: Thick and coats the glass nicely. Sweet agave leads into pepper and cinnamon, with a pleasant tongue tingle. The barrel influence is present without covering up the agave. Finish: Herbal and fermented notes linger, with barrel tannins adding some drying structure. Overall: A very good reposado with a nice balance between agave and barrel influence. Sweet agave remains present alongside cinnamon and pepper, while herbal and fermented notes carry into the finish. The Amburana influence adds character without taking over the tequila.”

Pelotón De La Muerte Blanco

85 SCORE

“Peloton Blanco sells in Virginia for $38 for a quality high-proof (46%) blanco. Aromas of baked agave, slight minerality, white pepper, lemon grass, and grapefruit zest. Let this rest and open up. Wonderful heat, pepper, butter, and sweetness. Minerality and baked agave, are there with maybe Jalapeño. The 46% ABV is very present in a wonderful delivery and doesn't leave too soon. Finish is wonderful. Bravo!”
