Zumbador Tequila Blanco
“Aromas of lemon citrus, roasted agave, butter. Nice mouth feel not too crazy but great flavors! I got citrus herbal notes up front, black pepper and saltiness that move into sweet finish. This pour is very inviting, will definitely be sharing this with friends, great buy! ”

Cascahuín Reposado - Private Barrel
“House of Rare SIB. Very much agave forward with subtle sherry barrel. Vanilla and caramel but still pepper spice. Almost a little tannic/bitter but not alcohol hot. Unsure of what the retail was since it was a sample. TW had them for around 120 but not the sherry barrel, which were 500. Which is crazy. At 100 there would be 4 or 5/10 in value. At 500? Nope. Very happy to have sampled it.”

Trujillo Manifiesto 56
“So pleasant on the nose, complex aromas agave, cinnamon, orange peel, bell pepper, cardamom. Great mouth feel, crisp, oily. Great pour, drinks very nicely. Flavors of cinnamon spice that lead into sweet roasted agave, minerality. Finish was really nice, long and layered, lasted for a solid 3min after every sip. Very good pour and looking forward to trying the Manifiesto 57 soon.”

Tierra de Ensueño Reposado
“Ensueño Reposado opens with inviting aromas of oak, vanilla, cinnamon, and warm spices, with a subtle cocoa note underneath. As it develops, I picked up hints of dried cherries and other dried fruits, adding a pleasant sweetness to the profile. On the palate, the oak and black pepper become more pronounced, balanced by notes of cocoa, vanilla, cinnamon, and warm baking spices. There’s a nice combination of richness and spice that gives the tequila some depth without overpowering the agave character. The finish is where it really comes together, with a smooth, buttery texture followed by lingering notes of oak, dried fruit, vanilla, and warm spice. Overall this one is fantastic.”

Cascahuín Añejo 44
“This was my review for the añejo 44 before it was available to me to rate on here. Will update my score on the standard añejo when I hopefully come across it in my upcoming Yucatán trip! Lote 817 04/22/26 #cascahuineando Batch 2 sticker on the side Another classic from cascahuin. I remember seeing this for sale years ago in the rectangular bottles and I didn’t go for it, big mistake as it completely disappeared from my areas market for forever… until now. Instantly my favorite of the core three lineup. Really well balanced mix of barrel and the typical cascahuin profile. For $75, this is an excellent anejo and stands up well against the other 1123 añejos I’ve tried like gran legado and wild common. ”
