Nose: earth / minerals / olive / hint of agave / hint of green apple / orange peel / lemongrass/ hint of lavender/ alcohol Taste: sweet agave cooked / cinnamon/ vanilla/ peppermint / hint of apple and fruit / lime & orange / other citrus / licorice/ peppermint/ hint of cream soda Finish: very light viscous mouthfeel/ sweet agave-licorice tastes are in some level of balance with the cinnamon-peppermint notes / lingering sweetness that is refreshing and ends on a minty flavor. This blanco HP is quite tasty, though the nose is weak. At 45% abv, this HP hides the alcohol very well behind a huge sweetness that is agave snd licorice flavors. The overall taste is good and thoroughly enjoyable especially if you like a sweet/cinnamon pepper profile. Nice job El Mexicano!

I get a bit of Agave cooked and raw but a VERY full and deep Grapefruit on the nose as well as some grass and black pepper. on the lighter end as far as the body goes. On the palate and finish, I am getting salty brinyness, black pepper and cooked agave, and a tad bit of minerality. This was by no means bad, but it didn't blow me away either. When it comes to El Mexicano, I think I'm slightly more partial to the aged expressions.

Nose is full of agave followed by minerals and black pepper. I find it earthy with a hint of grass. Taste is peppery and salty. Strong alcohol which obfuscates the flavors. This is okay and is a value HP but there are better options.

A good amount of minerality, pepper some citrus. It's a solid choice.

Eyes- clear with no floaters nice legs that flow slowly Nose- cooked agave with nice baking spices, slight minerals, and little citrus Mouthfeel- thick and viscous Taste- cooked agave, baking spices , citrus (like lime zest), mint, little minerality that flows into a nice light pepper finish

Mineral grassy nose. Agave, pepper, mineral, brine, and earthy taste. It’s definitely hotter than the regular Blanco but doesn’t come across as rounded to me.

Nose: Green agave and a round ripe agave notes. A gentle spritz of minerals. Floral with a warm sweet musky scent - reminds me of Easter egg jelly bean candies. This aroma doesn’t read higher proof. Flavor: Pepper heat and a trace bitter note. Floral, fruity and some nutty nuances. Natural sweetness and a viscosity that coats the tongue nicely. A pleasant sip - but no wow factor for me.

NOM 1588 Nose. Vegetal on top of buttery cooked agave. Nice dense nose. Light alcohol vapors. Black pepper. Light anise. Celery. Taste. There’s some anise and alcohol up front along with some spicy vegetal notes and black pepper. There’s agave and brine along with some slight acetone. Finish. It’s bright and shiny with alcohol and fresh agave.

$40 for a high proof blanco with the smelling and tasting notes of this blanco is a slamming deal! I love the green in this. Anytime I can get that olive in there is a bonus!

Not much for the nose (could be my allergies messing me up). A hint of fresh cut grass and mild agave fragrance. But WOW to the flavor. Pure and clean blanco tequila. Perfect agave juice with some pepper tones. Great value and clean juice.

Agave & mineral nose. Agave flavor. Medium length finish with nice mouth feel.

This tequila is so amazing, even though is high proof you can taste it really good. Highly recommend
