Lou gives some mighty high praise for this affordable blanco tequila.
Top picks of off-the-radar tequilas that soon-to-be enthusiasts should consider.
Nose: Cooked agave, wrapped in a gentle saline edge that makes the minerality feel alive. Citrus lifts the profile - more zest than juice - and the black pepper folds in with an easy sharpness. Altogether it has this fresh meadow quality, a kind of green, open air note. Palate & Mouthfeel: The mouthfeel stays light and a touch watery, but the flavors don’t thin out. Sweet agave lands right away, chased by a firm line of black pepper. Lime and grapefruit keep things bright, sliding into a grassy note that leans fresh rather than bitter. A soft butter tone rounds things off and keeps things from feeling too sharp. Finish: Black pepper hangs on, joined by grapefruit pith that brings a bright, tart edge with just enough bitterness to stay interesting. The flavors keep flickering long after the sip ends, leaving a light tingling that feels lively. Final Thoughts: A budget heavyweight that punches above expectation- light in body but far from hollow. Easy to enjoy neat, relaxed on a cube, or folded into a cocktail without losing its character.
