Adictivo Craft Blanco Tequila
“This is a step in the right direction for this brand. This isnt anything sourcing bit its the best tequila they have in the lineup. This craft blanco taste like its made the right way without the added sweetener additives. Didn't blow me away but its good and hoping to see more like this from this brand. ”

Dos Hombres Tequila Reposado
“ This is a very decent reposado, and priced right for what it is. Very pleasing for a mid tier reposado. Nose - cooked agave, cinnamon, baking spice, vanilla, and caramel. Palate - layers of butterscotch, cinnamon, baking spice, brown sugar, a touch of nuttiness with a little pepper, overall a nice layer sweetness. Finish - medium, a touch of oak, spice, leaving behind a nice sweetness. I like this a tad more than their blanco. I can definitely recommend, and I will drink this one again. ”

Pueblo Viejo Reposado
“Aroma: Stone fruit, butterscotch, and some citrus notes. Flavor: Fruity notes. I get stone fruit with a little cherry, peachish notes, and some butterscotch, followed by spice. Finish: Short to medium. The flavors fizzle a bit. A great budget friendly option for mixing, sipping, or shots.”

Pueblo Viejo Blanco
“Aroma: Subtle cream soda, pepper, and anise. Flavor: A hint of sweetness on the initial sip, followed by pronounced peppery spice. Finish: Short overall, with faint mineral and pepper notes lingering. for someone who runs a bar, or if you’re just looking for a tequila to mix with for under $15, it speaks for itself. You can get the blanco, reposado, and añejo for under $25. I can get liters of all three for under $20 at my bar. In an economy like this, this is our well tequila. Anything cheaper is a gold tequila. And honestly, I don’t get those diffuser notes in the profile like I read in some other reviews. The value wins it for me here. ”
More info →“Bright herbal nose, I get aromas of rosemary, cardamom, mint, licorice, ripe agave. Mouth feel is nice, silky, coats the palate evenly. On the palate I got a burst of alcohol that goes right into cooked agave, sweet fruit notes, more licorice, lime, and a salty brine flavor. Excellent vegetal finish. Never had a tequila with a Quiote influence, I’d think the brightness of this offering is from just that, saludos to the Davolos brothers at Nom 1545! This pour is fun and complex, glad to have finally got a bottle of this. ”

El Bagazo Tequila Blanco Único
“49abv This is fantastic! Thank you Dan Witten (Agave Swappers) for the sample. Question: what other tequila brand ferments in plastic vats, or DISTILLS with fibers?!?! Sweet cooked agave, anise, fruit, pepper, citrus, minerality, also some earthy/vegetal notes. Sooo well balanced and delicious! This is my flavor palate! 100% I love it! I need more! ”

Southbound Blanco
“Not much on the aroma. A little citrus, a little alcohol, and very little agave. The flavor and finish were similar. Citrus, and sweetness. There is some agave during the finish. The mouthfeel was watery and medium length. This is not very complex but it is very good for an easy everyday drinker for friends that haven’t developed some of the appreciation of more complex tequilas. Don’t dismiss. It’s enjoyable and inexpensive. It’s also better than other Total Wine offerings.”
