Cascahuín Blanco
“The aroma is very different than others I’ve tried. You can smell the mineral/grass of it…the finish is very peppery and the front flavor is complex, mineral, grass, vegetal and a very different agave flavor. Good for sure, but not my top 5. The taste is complex though….so as I go through the bottle it may unravel its complexity more, we will see.”

Casa Noble Reposado
“NOM 1137 Aroma: Butterscotch leads, followed by baking spice, honey and toffee. There’s a warm, dessert-like sweetness to the nose. Flavor: The palate starts with caramel, warm vanilla, subtle dried fruit and noticeable barrel notes, but the flavors fade quickly and fall fairly flat. There’s a distinct waxy texture that coats my lips and the roof of my mouth. The combination of caramelized sweetness, baking spice and dried fruit oddly reminds me of eating my grandmother’s fruitcake as a kid. It’s also extremely dark in color for a reposado. It drinks easy, but lacks any complexity or depth. Finish: Short, with pepper building toward the end. That waxy, coating sensation lingers longer than the actual flavors, particularly on my lips and the roof of my mouth.”

Marcado 28 Reposado
“Aroma: Initially restrained. With time, cooked and caramelized agave, orange and subtle tropical fruit emerge, along with light floral notes of lilac/lavender and honeysuckle. Some honey and an earthy, musty quality like wet cement after rain. Flavor: Caramelized agave with earthy, slightly musty (not bad; like earth) notes. Despite 8 months in barrel, I’m not getting much noticeable barrel influence. Pepper becomes more prominent as it develops. Finish: Medium, with lingering pepper and some of the earthy, wet-cement character carrying through. Longer and more pronounced than the blanco. Overall: I had a hard time getting a read on this one and came back to it for a second tasting. It definitely benefited from time in the glass. The nose opened up considerably, but I was surprised by how subtle the barrel influence was after 8 months. Also, I love the artwork on this label.”

Marcado 28 Blanco
“Aroma: Caramelized agave, citrus and mint with subtle fruit undertones. Flavor: Green and herbal, citrus notes, with soft savory notes. Finish: Short to medium. Overall very soft and approachable. Love the art work on bottle. *I had to sit with this one a bit. I got a better flavor profile second time around. ”

Cascahuín Reposado
“As much as this gets talked up, I was admittedly a little underwhelmed after finally getting a bottle (1123 stuff isn’t available near me). Not that it was bad, just a bit… middling. Very one dimensional and honestly there are numerous 1123 offerings I like better. Maybe it just needs a bit of time to open up a bit now that the bottle is open. I also have a bottle of tahona blanco ready to crack so hopefully better luck there. ”

123 Organic Tequila Añejo
“Nice palate and finish. Get some oak, vanilla and cooked agave. Simple, straightforward anejo and very clean. Is terrific in a margarita (with no sugar) and an orange squeeze. ”

Atanasio Beso de Amor Plata
“While I’d prefer it to be a bit higher proof, Atanasio never disappoints. On the nose, I get an earthy, vegetal character with a touch of sweetness and pepper, followed by a punch of agave. On the palate, it’s incredibly smooth, with prominent agave, sweet vegetal notes, and a light peppery taste. The finish is medium, but very enjoyable. Overall, another great pour from Atanasio.”

Fósforo Tequila Blanco
“I found this to be a bit underwhelming. It has a decent profile but seems very one dimensional. I had a 3 ounce sample and sampled 1.5 ounces on 2 separate occasions.”
