Tierra de Ensueño Reposado
“Harvested 8/25 I was slightly trepidatious going into this as I didn’t think the ensueño blanco that I tried had my type of palette, definitely pleasantly surprised here. Nice notes of molasses and butterscotch on the nose and mouth. A little vegetal but mostly peppery finish. Bourbon notes are present but not overpowering the agave in any way. $70 is a bit steep here as there a definitely better options for a repo at that price point but it still makes me want to seek out ensueño in the future and maybe try a new batch of the blanco to see if my palette has changed. ”

Don Fulano Blanco Fuerte (100 proof)
“This is a solid high proof. it has good, clean agave flavor. The mouthfeel is viscous but not oily. It is missing a little of the complexity and intense flavor of some high proof expressions made with more ancestral methods, but I keep coming back to it. ”
More info →“Nice. Agave. Warm, but not hot. So lovely. Fairly smooth. ”
More info →“At La Pina. Nice perfumy agave smell. Lovely agave taste with the wine notes hinting there for balance. Into a nice clean finish with just enough heat that is warm but not hot. ”

El Caballito Cerrero Blanco (46%)
“this is a great introduction to what Caballito Cerrero offers it's fans.. At 46%, it is only slightly high proof, especially from this NOM. Great agave flavor with minimal baking spices and some mouthfeel that makes you want to take another sip. ”

Nosotros Tequila Reposado
“Aroma: Initially fairly restrained. I find cooked agave, a touch of earthiness, minerality, and black pepper, with some alcohol on the nose that comes across slightly solvent-like. As it sits, more cooked agave begins to emerge along with subtle barrel influence. Palate: The profile is soft and understated. Cooked agave is present but muted, joined by light minerality and a touch of oak. I also pick up a slight rubbery, musty note. Finish: Short to medium in length with lingering pepper and minerality and a touch of sweetness. As the tequila opens in the glass, the finish gains a little more character, but it remains fairly restrained overall. Overall: This reposado has improved from previous releases I’ve tried since the move to its new distillery, but it still leaves me wanting more. The flavors gradually open up with time, revealing more cooked agave and subtle barrel notes, yet I never found the depth or complexity I look for in a standout reposado. That said, not every tequila needs to be bold. If you’re newer to sipping tequila or prefer a lighter, more approachable style, this could be an easy introduction to the category. For my palate, though, it feels a bit too subtle and doesn’t quite hold my attention. ”

Don Abraham Blanco
“Since I’m just an avid tequila fan my tastes vary to a skilled taster. That said I thought this organic Don Abraham is delicious. Nice earthy agave tastes with an excellent mouth feel and lingering aftertaste. I paid $41 in Lafayette, California. Glad I found it. Recommend!”

ArteNOM Selección de 1123 Blanco
“Not as good as 1579. Way overpriced in my opinion. Another one I was expecting more from. I’ll revisit after a few days like I did Cascahuin Tahona. It got really good after opening up some. ”

Señorita Mexicana Blanco
“Usually I’ll give one a half bottle chance before grading. But I have a hard time believing this tequila is Tahona crushed, brick ovens, wooden tanks etc. I’m leaning towards a diffuser. 29 bucks for 700ml. Some kind of weird funk note in there and just doesn’t have an agave forward flavor like a blanco should. Especially a Tahona blanco. No minerals. Also an artificial vanilla in there too. I’ll revisit but I doubt anything changes. Don’t even want to try it in a drink but I will so you don’t have to. ”

Lost Lore FTR Collaboration Reposado
“Complex, vanilla, honey, cooked agave, and baking spices linger as I sip this. The higher proof shines on this one ”

Ascenda Tequila Blanco
“This is a clean, balanced blanco, notes of cooked agave, licorice or anise notes, citrus with just a light touch of white pepper. Nice lingering finish. ”
More info →“Very interesting. Deep, rich flavor especially for a Reposado, but doesn’t come across as “bourbon-y” at all. Instead the wine casks and French oak take center stage, play very nicely together here (coming from one who generally doesn’t love French oak aged tequila). Warm spices come through on the nose and palette actually reminding me of a slightly less mature ArteNOM 1146. This is very well done. ”

Mijenta Tequila Blanco
“Conditions: Outdoors, 78°F, rested in a Kenzie glass for 1½ hours. Appearance: Crystal clear with silvery, pale clarity. Medium, evenly spaced legs suggesting possible sweetness and viscosity Aroma: A vibrant expression of agave. Fresh raw agave leads immediately, followed by bright citrus, freshly cut grass, and a distinctive cement-like minerality. As the spirit opens, notes of hay emerge alongside delicate herbal tones of marjoram and thyme, adding depth without overwhelming the agave. Palate: The arrival shifts from the nose’s raw agave into a more cooked agave profile. Orchard fruit develops through pear and apple, evolving into white peach and plum. Gentle baking spice provides structure while the spirit maintains an elegant, balanced mouthfeel. Finish: Moderate in length with a pleasantly oily texture that coats the palate. The fruit and agave linger gracefully before fading cleanly, inviting another sip. Final Thoughts: Mijenta Blanco is an honest, traditionally made tequila that lets the agave remain the focal point while rewarding patience with additional layers as it opens. Its balance of minerality, herbal complexity, orchard fruit, and texture makes it equally suited for quiet contemplation or sharing with friends who appreciate additive-free tequila. Bully Verdict: Not every tequila needs to be a heavyweight. Mijenta wins with balance, authenticity, and a quiet confidence that grows with every sip. ”
