Really solid overall! Aroma is understated and light but overall pleasant. Taste is good with a blast of agave sweetness and light black pepper. Finish is good.

Aroma: cooked agave, white pepper, citrus, cinnamon, honey, floral, vanilla. Mouthfeel: Buttery with sufficient alcohol. Flavor: agave sweetness, lemon, white pepper, light anise, melon, herbal. Finish: Medium with the lemon and melon notes becoming more pronounced. White pepper tingle lingers. Overall impression is another nice PKGD Group offering with great price point, not crazy complex, but checks the boxes for an easy clean sipper. Good pour for parties and when you want to drink and not think.

tasted from a sample sent to me by an agave swapper! aka Matt C subtle mint anise red fruit minerality. gets better as it opens up. mild agave with a touch of bitterness on the finish. I like the nose better than taste. it's decent.

It reminds me of a less rich copy of most tequila ocho blanco estates. The agave is a bit muted and while it is very easy to drink, it also has moments where it seems kind of dull. For the price point, you really don't get too much of a better value than this. This could be a sipper but I think it will end up getting utilized more for me personally as a mixer

A well priced Blanco, great for mixing, but could easily sip. Slightly bitter, earthy notes. Shows some nice cooked agave.

Wow, I actually really like this. Very nice agave on the nose with a bit of alcohol. The palate is soft and mild but agave rich with a slight bitter but easy going finish. This really tastes well made. Got it on clearance for $15 but I’d buy it at full price. Update: As others have said, this one is not complex but man it sips easy.

Really nice nose with more mint than usual + a little lemon rind. Taste is a bit alcohol forward, but has a nice black pepper kick with sweet agave. Finish is a tad hot and short. Mouthfeel is pretty luscious. Oxygenation and moves to increase “smoothness” are apparent here, and not altogether unsuccessful. A solid option for folks trading up from Patron, Casamigos, and similar, at a very fair price.

I'm raising my rating on this, since my video review. This Blanco really delivers, and for 32.99... this is one slammin' deal

A pretty straightforward blanco, not super complex but easy to drink. Aroma has some wet earth, floral and vegetal notes. Flavor has cooked agave and a hint of cinnamon. Finish is short which will be a plus for some people.

Wet earth snd herbal aromas with a hint of snickerdoodle. Medium mouthfeel with mint in the finish. Slightly bitter but a decent blanco.

This is going to be a “for the price” review. Certainly a challenge not to pass all judgements through the “yeah, but it’s $30 a bottle” lens. All around it is decent. Decent nose - a bit heavy on the rubbing alcohol. Mouthfeel is rounded, not a ton of flavor, but not harsh. A little “wet rag” on the finish and syrupy. For the price…..

Very buttery and mineral aroma. Smooth, butter and some smoke in the palette. A little spice and smooth finish.

Finish is a little suspect for me but scent and taste are good. Better than most celebrity tequilas I have had.

Not much aroma on this blanco Not sure about the flavor either, not much going on, just a smidge of black pepper and perhaps some minerality. At least this distiller claims they don t do additives and that is evident. Finished off with a bit of heat that fades gracefully

Agave forward blanco. Smooth finish. I’m getting citrus, agave, maybe a little pepper, and alcohol. Versatile. Effective sipper and mixer

One of my favorite blancos. Pepper, agave, notes of herbs, and a buttery short finish.
