Cascahuín Tahona Blanco
“Extremely complex nose (agave, grass, herbs, spice and a little fruit), palate less so (agave, vegetative). Great showcase for valley agave.”

Tears of Llorona Extra Añejo
“Quick notes from a tasting today Amazing nose. Can sniff this for days - so layered It’s heavy on the oak, the agave is there but can get a bit lost One of my favorite finishes to a tequila. Oak hits hard, then fades to sweet agave bliss. There’s a lot more going on with the finish - but that’s the cliff note version Pricey!”
More info →“Nose: A noticeable yeasty funk leads things off, followed by plenty of cooked vegetal character. There’s a nice thread of minerality running through it all, with fresh lime adding just enough brightness to keep everything in balance. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a rounded mouthfeel. Sweet agave is front and center, backed by more vegetal notes and a healthy dose of black pepper. It’s direct and well composed without trying to do too much. Finish: Clean and lingering, leaving a pleasant peppery tingle alongside lasting agave sweetness. It fades naturally and invites another sip. Final Thoughts: This is my favorite unaged Lost Lore expression I’ve had to date. It doesn’t rely on complexity or novelty. It just executes the fundamentals extremely well. Straightforward, clean and delicious, with excellent agave character from start to finish.”

Siembra Valles High Proof Blanco
“Siembra Valles High Proof Nose Beautiful wet concrete and damp minerality immediately lead the aroma, followed by bright cooked agave sweetness. The nose is expressive from the first pour and showcases exactly the traditional character I enjoy. Taste (TNT) Exceptionally thick and oily, coating both the glass and palate. Sweet cooked agave is immediately supported by cinnamon, black pepper, warm baking spices, and restrained vegetal fermentation. The higher proof creates a pleasant tingling and slight numbness on the tongue without overwhelming the flavor. Everything remains balanced despite the intensity. Finish Long, warm, and satisfying. Agave sweetness and cinnamon linger the longest while the higher proof leaves a gentle tongue tingle rather than excessive heat. The finish remains clean with subtle vegetal fermentation adding depth instead of dominating the profile.”

Montagave Blanco Las Rocas
“Montagave Las Rocas Blanco Nose Wet concrete and damp mineral notes lead the experience, supported by a subtle herbal sweetness. Clean, earthy, and expressive with a profile that immediately suggests traditional production and terroir. Taste (TNT) Rich, oily texture with excellent viscosity, coating both the glass and the palate. Black pepper and cinnamon provide warmth while restrained agave sweetness grows with each sip. A gentle fermentation note adds complexity without becoming distracting. A deep inhale after the sip reveals an even brighter cooked agave sweetness. Finish Long and balanced. Pepper and cinnamon linger alongside vegetal fermentation, while the warmth remains pleasant and controlled. Despite the higher proof, the alcohol is remarkably integrated, leaving only a gentle tingle on the tongue rather than overwhelming heat.”

Los Abuelos Blanco (Still Strength)
“high intensity and a broad entry. Key compounds evoke butter (diacetyl), black pepper (piperine), and citrus (aldehydes and terpenes), supported by a silky, luminous body indicative of proper fermentation and distillation. The finish is long, with a balanced and evolving aftertaste.”
