Codigo 1530 Still Strength Blanco
“Aroma is cooked agave, a little alcohol or medicinal and vegetal. Sipping it all that comes out along with something I can’t place that detracts a bit. The finish is fine but a slight bitterness that lingers. It was a gift, I’m not complaining and will drink it of course. I bet it would be great as a mixer but just fine straight. ”

Trujillo Manifiesto 56
“on the nose: cooked agave, olive, anise, vanilla, and orange (flesh). on the palate: middle of the road mouth feel. not thin, not oily. Flavors include roasted agave, olive again, black pepper, black cherry, and brine. The finish is long, hot, and minty. not my favorite SS/hp, but it's solid. ”

Zumbador Tequila Blanco
“On the nose: Cooked agave, strong minerality, and black pepper. on the palate: Oily mouth feel gives way to cooked and raw Agave, black pepper, minerality and butter. A medium finish with some great spice. This is the best twenty five dollar blanco i've ever had. it's a 45 dollar drink hiding in a 25 dollar price tag. highly recommend. ”

Fortaleza Blanco
“Mineral, brine/salt, citrus, earthy and vegetal with a nice little peppery back end. Agave taste on every end…..the aroma is silent and tempts you in, lulls you into this kind of trance…..then all the complex and many flavors just wash over you. It is my number one Tequila and just such an amazing example of what a Tequila can be. Thank you Fortaleza/Los Abuelos…..I only wish it was easier to find.”

Tierra de Ensueño Reposado
“on the nose: Bourbon, honey, cooked agave, vanilla, orange peel, and tangerine. on the palate: an excellently oily mouthfeel. Cooked agave, oak, cinnamon, orange vanilla, honey, butter and butterscotch, and black pepper. It is very complex - in a good way - with a long, sweet, warm finish. 1000% buy and enjoy. batch variance is significant with this brand, so a reminder that this is for batch #2.”

Volcan de Mi Tierra Reposado
“on the nose: cooked and raw agave, vanilla, orange blossom, and grass. on the palate: the mouthfeel is thinner than others but not watery or weak by any means. cooked agave and a kow key pop of citrus up front give way to butter and butterscotch, cinnamon, raisin, and red apple. some black pepper too but it's secondary. warm, short finish. liked it, def reccomend.”

Patrón El Alto Reposado Tequila
“Pretty bottle. Better than average aromas, but not particularly astonishing on the pallet. Hungarian and French oak is a welcome experience, but balance isnt there. If this were a $30-$40 offering, I would place a higher rating - but it is far from afforble. Try, yes. Buy, no way.”

D'Antaño
“Smoky nose of agave, vanilla and citrus. Big barrel influence on the palate. Agave, vanilla, toffee and lingering lemon lime. Great finish of oak and citrus. Would have scored higher but the price brings the value down. ”
