alcohol and pepper profile

Not much complexity thin but not completely awful

  • 60 Rating

Aroma has a faint amount of cooked agave and not much else coming through. Flavor agave, black pepper and an unusual sweetness. I wonder if they added sugar? Finish was short-lived, fortunately.

Tough to compare to other top brands. Soapy flavor

  • 70 Rating

Aromas: Raw agave, earthy, black pepper, fruity (pear & piña), citrus (bitter orange peel), spices (jalapeño & bell pepper, white pepper too). Flavor: Same as above, plus identified some process defects: metallic, solvent, vinegar, briny products.

At first smell, faint vegetal and organic then a sudden rush of (and I'm not trying to be facetious) paint thinner. Taste was watery and thin with so little of a burn I had to double check bottle to make sure it was 40 proof and not 10. Light to no flavor and toast of borderline artificial agave. Not even a good mixer, may use for cooking but doubtful it would impart any flavor. Wanted to like it as passable in a pinch but it just isnt.

A light and approachable blanco tequila. Not my flavor profile. Expect subtle notes of cooked agave, citrus, and a slight herbal undertone. A little medicinal but overall it’s easy-drinking but not particularly bold or distinctive.

I get some earth, agave, alcohol is an ok tequila and I think it will make great cocktails.

Not so good. Not bad either. Agave flavor is ok but nothing else’s going on.... except for the harsh finish.

I recall thinking very highly of this once upon a time, clearly my feelings evolved when I realized Turtle didn’t actually own this(or exist). It’s ok, I feel like it’s made for the sole purpose of not making gringos gag and while it has a smoothness I can appreciate I just don’t get any real agave.

Maybe an average tequila, but with a good taste of agave and citrus with hint of vanilla and pineapple. Aroma include flowers and citrus. Finish last long with a little burn and black pepper.

Nice raw agave scent. Fresh vegetal flavor. Fast finish.

  • 69 Rating

Bright nose: floral and a little perfume like. Flavor comes in sugary sweet. Some nice anise notes though. Just too sweet with not a whole lot else.

  • 70 Rating

Nondescript nose, some agave and alcohol but little else. Decent entry, nice peppery heat, but finish is off, turning to bitter chlorophyll note. Middle of the road stuff.

I really enjoyed this blanco. Mixed very well.

  • 54 Rating

moderate burn. peppery nose with citrus notes. salty burn upfront with long finish.

  • 89 Rating

I can easily drink this as a sipper.

  • 71 Rating

Aroma of limestone and green agave, but mostly smells and tastes like an average tequila.

  • 71 Rating

Raw agave and spice notes with short finish but better than Casamigos made at the same distillery.

  • 71 Rating

Lots of grapefruit, fairly clean, not syrupy

Great mixing potential

  • 70 Rating

Light in the nose as well as the palate, and dry. Put a lime on the side of the glass so there's something for the nose. Goes down easy, so keep track before you've polished off half the bottle.

  • 84 Rating

Aroma of agave and butter. Nice peppery agave flavor with a little bite but definitely a smooth sipper. Fairly weak on the finish.

  • 76 Rating

A lot of talk of its additive free or not. A chilled shot is smooth and this is pretty good on the rocks. At $40 it’s priced appropriately, maybe a few $ high. I’d go $41 for Lalo over this all day 100/100 times.
