Good blanco, very agave, earthy. vegetal foward but solid brand from the family of the OG Cazadores family.

Light sweet agave, vanilla nose/flavor with a slight rubber/petrol aroma and bitter finish. Natural and soft, except for the finish.

Has a classic Los Altos aroma. Minerals, slight vanilla, dried grass/hay, agave. Flavor has cinnamon, and cooked agave. Feels thick in the mouth with a full body. There is sweetness in the finish.

L 160223DFB001. Aroma: salty raw agave, black olives, feels oily, slightly minty & herbaceous. Palate: salty raw agave, black olives, thick mouthfeel, 30 minutes in the glass I feel a tad of sweetness from the agave. Slightly less salty than the Hacienda Viejo blanco from the same distillery, almost exactly the same. Finish is medium to medium long, salty raw agave notes persist.

A little muted on the nose, but a solid sipper with a smooth cooked agave flavor profile. Finish was just ok, as I got the typical cooked agave along with black pepper and an earthiness funk at the end. Fine, but bought for $45 so was hoping for more in the value score.

Familiar Arandas nose. Nice flavor and mouthfeel. Finish has that non-copper funk which makes it less pleasant. It’s okay.

As usual, I don’t love the tequilas with a strong cooked agave flavor. Sorry.
