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.

Nose: pepper / agave / earth/ minerals / hint of banana / apple / orange/ lemongrass / orange blossom/ Taste: sweet agave / pepper/ earth / mineral/ banana/ apple / orange / lime / anise / bell pepper/ spearmint/ cream soda Finish: very low viscosity mouthfeel / nice balance of sweet agave and pepper notes / lingering sweet s pepper fighting for control of the last taste This blanco has good taste and good value. The flavors are not in perfect balance/harmony, but for a base level blanco at this price point this is a great value.

Nose: The nose is the highlight of this pour. The agave, white pepper, and citrus jumps out of the glass from the second it is poured. Undertones of celery, herbs, rose, and rounded out with soft butter. Palate: Light to medium silky mouth feel and texture. Earthy agave with minerals and salt. Mild soft sweetness. A lot more fruit on the palate than the nose. Plum, cider, grape skins, and red fruit. Finish is agave wrapped in earth, salt and subtle grape. Clear buy!

Wow! I love Cascahuin’s more expensive Tahona blanco, and I had ignored this blanco which is a bargain. I finally tasted it while touring the distillery in October, 2022. Bright, clean, cooked agave and pepper which is what I like in a blanco.

Solid affordable sipper with light mint aroma, sweet agave flavor, spices and a little jalapeño pepper in the finish.

On the nose, Immediately grassy, herbal notes and cooked agave. Something like underripe banana. Pepper and citrus, orange peel. On the palate, beautiful cooked agave, almost a touch of vanilla but not quite. Definitely getting the pepper and the citrus. A very subdued natural sweetness, and very oily and full bodied. Solid sipping blanco. Didn’t blow my mind by any means, but also nothing really going against it either.

Lots of agave on the nose and upon entry. Some mint with a touch of grassy sweetness. Possibly the best blanco for under 25 bucks.

Agave, grass, pepper, melon, herbs… there’s a lot going on for this quality affordable tequila. Some good pop from the pepper, long finish. The more I drink, the more I like.

Clean fresh agave and citrus (lime). Lovely nose. A lot of agave up front, slightly vegetal and a touch of sweet. The finish is nice, slightly thin but peppery.

Aroma : Agave with some baking spices and floral notes. Light fruits. Taste : Sweet cooked agave and vanilla with grass, mint, light spices and pepper. Nice oily texture. Finish : Medium length with light alcohol, and prolongs the floral notes prominent on the nose and initial taste. Budget priced tequila, but sips like a high end bottle. I'm curious how the minty quality here translates to the Reposado and Añejo, but neither of those were on Old Town Tequila where I got this. I'll have to look around.

Excellent, excellent tequila. Very affordable whether you’re getting it in the States($30) or in Mexico($260 pesos in January 2020, in Jalisco). Enjoyable, short finish. Super flavorful and vegetal, extremely agave forward stuff. Good enough to sip neat. Blows PLENTY of other bigger names out the water at a fraction of the cost. Just a good tequila made the right way, I trust anything from this NOM.

Originally tasted at Cascahuín distillery December 2019. Alongside the array of of delicious Cascahuín the regular blanco did not get much attention from us. But now in December 2020, we have revisited this wonderful Blanco. For only $30 (@OTT) this is really good! New house blanco. Aroma good but taste is where it shines. More agave and mineral flavor than sweet. Finish is good.

As good as it gets, really. Asparagus, cooked agave, sweet potato (cooked), unripe banana, vegetables and alcohol (bottom of the aroma column) all in the nose. This elixir coats the mouth with a nice viscosity and the tears don’t break. I love this stuff.

Absolutely no flaws that stick out....this is amazing from start to finish. Makes me wonder why every brand can’t perform at this level for this price point?!? Recommend stocking up.

Nose starts out with minerals, baked agave, tropical fruits and lively spices. Floral with some nutmeg... liking the nose. Flavors rolling in of mint, sweet agave, vanilla and light pepper. Nice mouth feel. Balanced solid finish. Leaves a soft feeling finish in my mouth.
