Ocho Tequila Plata
“Look…I don’t know if this will wipe out older reviews of mine if tequila Ocho blanco but…for me this is the very best tequila Ocho I’ve ever had. To have this much density of aroma and flavor at 80 proof is truly insane. Carlos Camarena always brings the soft, sweet, plastic, botanical rose, candy sugar notes from the blue Weber agave to the party. This tequila is both unique, INTENSE, and legendary. Wow! ”

Tequila G4 Blanco 108
“The nose and palate on this are absolutely incredible. Butter, minerality, black pepper, vegetal notes, mint, and roasted agave for days. Lots of heat on the finish but I’m a fan of how long it sticks around. This definitely packs a punch as a high-proof, but the flavors are amazing. Smelling and tasting this from a glencain over about 45 minutes is one of the best experiences I’ve had sipping tequila in years. It also made a fantastic Tommy’s marg!”

El Viejito Plata 42.0%
“I opened the bottle a week ago and have had a couple pours, but I wanted it to rest before review. The initial bottle pop left me with nothing. Plus I just came off a big steak dinner so I wanted my review to be fair. Nose: has a slight funk, vegetal , a nice bright well water brine, little cinnamon. Nice Mouth: sharp but silky coat, a little heat, very clean . There is no overwhelming forward flavor that jumps off the page, medium linger, cinnamon, maybe a touch of lime/ lemon zest , this is a very easy sipper. But doesn’t leave you with any wow factor. I could drink it all day no problem. I also made a Paloma with it to see how it mixes : Ok in a cocktail this is where it shines. My Paloma is outstanding. ”

Prolijo Tequila Blanco
“Grabbed this at 50% off at Sip - and a bargain makes everything taste better. Generally earth and minerals and vegetal flavors are my thing (and additive free, no question), but in this case it seems as if they all run together and become muddled or, maybe, muddied. Wouldn’t pay more than $40 for this and likely won’t seek this out again. Not at all bad, just not good enough. ”

Mijenta Tequila Añejo
“Aroma of white chocolate, melon, peach, and fruit. Flavor is white chocolate, nuts, vanilla, fruit, and melon, all working elegantly together. This isn’t a heavily-aged añejo, but it’s aged just right so that agave is still present. Extremely balanced and easy to drink. ”

Tequila Rimari Reposado
“Tequila Rimari — Reposado Nose: Oak, mineral, cooked agave and a pleasant sweetness. Taste: Cooked agave, cinnamon, baking spices, oak and tannins. Thick and coating in the glass with a rich sweetness. The tannins add some dryness to the palate without overpowering the agave or spice. Finish: Warm and lingering with sweet baking spices and cinnamon. Subtle tannins create a light tongue tingle and gentle dryness while the sweetness hangs around.”
