    “Agave, anise, minerals on the smell. Agave forward with the anise right up there as well. Minerals, citrus and earthiness come through. A nice finish with pepper.”

  • “CONDITIONS Calm outdoor evening, 74°F. Rested in a Kenzie glass for 50 minutes. APPEARANCE Shimmery and crystalline, water-white in the glass. Random-pattern droplets cling stubbornly to the sides, perhaps portending some sweetness to come. AROMA A light, restrained nose opens with raw agave and lime-rind citrus, followed by pepper and a distinctly green, spicy-herbal character: mint, thyme, lemon balm and fresh-cut grass. PALATE Those initial aromas take a back seat as cooked-agave sweetness moves forward, joined by an evolving array of peppers—chile and serrano—as it coats the mid-palate with a pleasantly oily texture. FINISH Balanced and warming, signing off with a faint echo of cinnamon and pink peppercorn. FINAL THOUGHTS Authentico Blanco is a wonderfully versatile tequila—equally comfortable in thoughtful mixology or poured neat. Hard-core agave purists may find it a little too accommodating, but that appears to be precisely the point. Authentico has created an approachable blanco without abandoning the character of the agave itself. It’s an expression built for a broad audience, and in today’s spirits market, that could prove to be a very smart place to land. BULLY VERDICT: Approachable, agave-forward and impressively versatile. It may not challenge the hardcore agave geek, but it doesn’t need to. This is a blanco designed to play well with everybody—and it does.”

    “Nose - real faint cooked agave and brine. Taste - cooked agave almost as if it was burnt. Also hint of something like a fruit cake. Finish - consistent with taste and lingers with the cooked agave. ”

    “I don’t understand the terroir select thing yet, because I thought all lots had the same idea but what do you know. I liked this, quite herbal and mineral, but there is a sour note that kinda stands out in a bad way in the after taste. It doesn’t ruin the experience but it does taste a bit off balance. ”

    “Nose - initial nose was vegetal and grass and overtime more cooked agave. Taste - sweet cooked agave with some lemongrass coming through. Finish - clean, doesn’t linger, cooked agave. Would not have guessed it is 108 proof.”

    “Manuscrito has been killing it. Have loved everything I have tried from them. Chapter 2 is still my favorite but this expression is fantastic Aroma: 23/25 Palate: 27/30 Finish: 22/25 Value: 7/10 $55 in SF”

    “El Bandido Yankee — Reposado Nose: Vanilla sweetness with caramel. Taste & Texture: Thick and clingy in the glass. Sweet with vanilla, some oak influence, cinnamon and a pleasant tingling sensation on the tongue. There is an almost birthday-cake-ice-cream-like flavor running through the sweetness. Finish: Warm cinnamon and sweetness linger with some vegetal notes on the finish.”
