La Pulga Tequila Blanco

86 SCORE

“Lucky Dog Saloon Dallas Texas La Pulga Blanco Nose The aroma opens with pronounced vegetal notes and natural fermentation, creating an earthy and authentic introduction. Cooked agave sits just beneath the surface, providing a subtle sweetness that balances the more savory character of the nose. Taste (TNT) The palate is layered and distinctive, beginning with black licorice and anise before transitioning into cooked agave sweetness. Bright citrus lifts the profile while black pepper adds structure and spice. Vegetal notes remain present throughout, giving the tequila a rustic character that is both expressive and memorable. Finish The finish is clean and moderately long, with a gentle peppery warmth that never overwhelms. Lingering vegetal fermentation remains the dominant impression, followed by fading black pepper. The result is a finish that stays true to the earthy profile established from the first nosing. Overall La Pulga Blanco offers a profile that favors earthy complexity over bright sweetness. Vegetal fermentation, anise, black licorice, and pepper define its character, while subtle agave sweetness and citrus provide balance. It is a distinctive blanco that embraces traditional flavors and rewards drinkers who appreciate fermentation-driven tequila.”

“Super light nose…. Grassy, some mint and cement. Bright and clear in the glass with light tear adhesion. Creamy thick mouthfeel. Amazing flavors on the palate - sweet agave, mild black pepper, grapefruit, mint, vegetal tones. Drinks much lower than expected given its high proof (98). Finish is mildly tingly, oily and long. Real nice.”

“On the nose you get a balanced cooked/raw agave, earthiness, clove, orange peel and barrel spice. Upon sipping you are greeted with a a cooked agave, sweet vanilla, orange peel and clove. On the finish you get the warm orange peel, clove and a little barrel spice/ bitterness. Not personally a fan of clove/slight bitterness at the finish but if you don’t mind this makes a great budget tequila, for me strictly for mixing or I would personally spend 5 dollars more and get something more universal to sip or mix like ‘El Bandido’”
