“Vanilla and caramel for sure, but it’s light and all flows well together with cooked agave flavors.”

LALO Tequila Blanco

75 SCORE

“It’s okay, Agave…yes, Citrus…yes. Then the rest is pepper, earth, and there’s something else there kinda sweet, not floral, I just can’t put my finger on it. Overall though it’s just, Meh. Good, not great. Now with its new distribution network, I’ll be able to find it everywhere, which is good, so it will be my go to tequila when I’m in a bar or restaurant that I don’t know. I won’t replace it in my home collection though.”

Wild Common Tequila Blanco Still Strength

89 SCORE

“The aroma is cooked agave forward with earth, black pepper, minerals, vegetal notes, and noticeable alcohol. On the palate, cooked agave leads with strong minerality and earth, followed by vegetal notes, alcohol, and a slight metallic/astringent edge. Great mouth-coating texture. The finish is long with a nice lingering burn that reminds you this is still strength without becoming unpleasant.”

Jose Cuervo Especial Gold

“There’s not much of anything on the nose except alcohol and artificial sweetener. The taste is complex, but in a bad way. I get hints of butterscotch, honey, wet grass, rubber, and more artificial sweetener. Practically everything BUT agave. The finish is short and unpleasant, and reminds me of plastic, varnish, or sewage. ¡No bueno!”

1800 Silver

66 SCORE

“I tried this years ago, without rating it. I got a pour to refresh my memory. The nose is alright: agave, citrus, & alcohol. It’s clear in the glass, but not oily or viscous. The taste is clean, but medicinal, with a sharp alcohol burn. I taste agave, but also mint, citrus, and gasoline. The finish is pretty long lasting, but more of an alcohol burn than a pleasant taste. 1800 Blanco may be OK as a mixer, but it’s not for sipping. Pass. ”

Viva Mexico Madera Blanco

91 SCORE

“NOM: OneFourOneFour. Wrong you cannot go. While I’m not the most terribly well and widely tequila-ador, this would be my go to. $75 retails (and I snagged it for half that at Sip - should have bought a case). But, I’ve not had a tequila at any price better. Much like all things fine, it reminds you of other fine things and then of nothing at all. It’s tequila and somehow not. The why scotch does. Or a Dylan song that defies words. Or the best cigar that can never be had again. Buy the ticket. Take the ride. ”

Mijenta Tequila Blanco

“Cooked agave, citrus and floral notes on the nose, alongside black pepper on the tongue. A hint of vanilla, cut grass, and minerality as well”

Lost Lore Reposado Amburana

88 SCORE

“Lost Lore Reposado Amburana Nose: Sweetness with noticeable barrel influence. Taste & Texture: Thick and coats the glass nicely. Sweet agave leads into pepper and cinnamon, with a pleasant tongue tingle. The barrel influence is present without covering up the agave. Finish: Herbal and fermented notes linger, with barrel tannins adding some drying structure. Overall: A very good reposado with a nice balance between agave and barrel influence. Sweet agave remains present alongside cinnamon and pepper, while herbal and fermented notes carry into the finish. The Amburana influence adds character without taking over the tequila.”

Pelotón De La Muerte Blanco

85 SCORE

“Peloton Blanco sells in Virginia for $38 for a quality high-proof (46%) blanco. Aromas of baked agave, slight minerality, white pepper, lemon grass, and grapefruit zest. Let this rest and open up. Wonderful heat, pepper, butter, and sweetness. Minerality and baked agave, are there with maybe Jalapeño. The 46% ABV is very present in a wonderful delivery and doesn't leave too soon. Finish is wonderful. Bravo!”

Tequila Cambio Blanco

85 SCORE

“Soft nose. Earthy with a hint of lactic-funk and some alcohol. Off-white in the glass with great tear adhesion. Silky / creamy smooth mouthfeel - highlight of the experience for me. Mildly sweet on the palate before turning sharply citrusy - bitter grapefruit and baking spices. The finish is oily, long and warm deep in the throat. Extra points for value.”

Casa Azul Organic Tequila Añejo

82 SCORE

“Casa Azul Orgánico Añejo — NOM 1480 Nose: Fairly subdued. Not a lot coming from the glass beyond some alcohol presence and a faint bourbon/barrel character. Taste & Texture: Sweetness leads with cinnamon and pepper. Straightforward and enjoyable, with the spice providing considerably more character than the nose. Finish: Warming with barrel tannins adding some drying structure. A lingering herbal character develops toward the end. Overall: A solid, enjoyable añejo, but fairly simple overall. The palate provides pleasant sweetness, cinnamon and pepper, while the finish adds some herbal character and drying tannins. The biggest limitation for me is the nose, which never really opens up or offers much complexity. There’s nothing particularly wrong here—it simply doesn’t provide the depth or memorable character I now look for in bottles scoring in the upper 80s and 90s.”

Insólito Añejo

81 SCORE

“Insólito Añejo Nose: Oak-forward with a noticeable sweetness. Taste & Texture: Bourbon influence is front and center with sweetness from the barrel. Some vegetal notes manage to come through underneath, along with a little tongue tingle. Finish: Warming and lingering, with some herbal notes emerging through the finish. Overall: A barrel-forward añejo with bourbon character dominating much of the experience. There is still some vegetal and herbal tequila character underneath, but I would prefer the barrel influence to complement the agave rather than lead the pour. ”
