The aroma was indeed filled with a citrus note but overwhelming filled with scathing ethyl as well. The pepperiness was only subdued slightly by letting the bottle rest for a few days. Their is a noticeable taste of cooked agave but overall a bit too rough to constantly enjoy neat.

This is a decent mixer for when you are having a big party and want to make margaritas for a bunch of people who could care less if the tequila is of high quality

Good all around. Taste is interesting and good overall. While nothing stands out this is pretty good.

definitely great shooter or in margarita. Would not sip it neat

This was a bit of a pleasant surprise after seeing mixed reviews. Thought the aroma and flavor were pretty good with a nice amount of cooked agave and pepper. Not very complex. The finish was a little rough and got hints of a metallic/chemical aftertaste. It gets points for me for the price point and I’d be happy to use it as a mixer.

Anise, cough syrup, sour apple candy. Loads of white pepper, a tad thin with a burn through the brief finishes Not meant to be a sipper, but an affordable mixer that’s still crafted with some care and is accessible.

Herbal and alcohol aroma. Bland flavor with a little pepper. Mild finish. Good mixer.

Doesn't really stand out in any particular way it's just very solid and it is an excellent value for the price.

Nose of the vanilla, sweet agave, vegetal, light pepper, light citrus, with a slight solvent presence and a bit of alcohol buzzing about. On taste- vegetal, sweet, light citrus, alcohol, and a hint of a glue like solvent. Overall bland and light, but a decent inexpensive daily tequila (especially for mixing) but not great as a sipper.

Aroma : Citrus, alcohol, agave. Taste : Light citrus and agave, lightly peppery with some alcohol. Very mild flavor. Finish : Short/medium length with a little more agave here. Overall a fairly bland tequila. But unlike other budget tequilas like Arette or Olmeca Altos, I can find this just about anywhere, which is good if you need something last minute to bring to a party.

Downgraded rating from 80. Something has changed with Espolon in the past couple of yrs, it has an unnatural aftertaste and sweetness to it (like Don Julio) that is off-putting to me. Can no longer recommend it as a good budget brand

Good value Blanco.

Not a sipper, alcohol and agave strong on the nose, body and finish

There is nothing outstanding going on here but I will always have a soft spot for this product.....it’s just so easy to drink for so cheap!! Tight and bitter at first and then bits of sweetness on the back end, it’s PERFECT for making margs!!

Lactic and herbal nose, medium mouthfeel and herbal, mineral finish. Nice natural agave sweetness.

Lactose, thyme, baked agave

Mexican 38% version. Nose has fresh floral notes with some alcohol. Fruity, with citrus and agave. A mineral element as well. Round ripe fruit on the palate. A little pepper kick. Spices and a banana like nuance. Coats the tongue nicely. A very solid economy brand. I’m surprised how much flavor is packed into an autoclave and column still product!

Great value but bland flavor. Mixes well.

Ok peppery vibe great value not a sipper but made a good margi!

This is one of the most affordable tequilas on the market, and you can get it just about everywhere. It's best used for cocktails, and since its 100% agave, you'll be grateful the next morning.

A lot going on for an inexpensive tequila. I concur with the other reviews.

Surprisingly complex nose of cooked agave, herbs, earth, pineapple and clove. Simple but pleasant taste of roast agave, black pepper and clove. Thin and soft, with a decent if astringent finish. Great value.

Good, solid low-priced blanco. Nice agave.

Certainly better than expected

Alcohol and cake forward, pepper, a little bit of agave. Not terribly interesting, would do fine in drinks but there are a number of better options for the price.
