Best mijenta so far! Thanks Dan for the taste! More flavor than the regular Blanco and that’s saying something.

On the nose: Brine, floral, citrus, sweet cooked agave, cherry, Pallet: Starts pretty hot, cooked agave comes in, pepper, citrus, Overall, I enjoy this tequila. I don’t know how much I can point to the unique process of starting from seed to any special flavors, but it’s a great juice with a unique approach.

Rated Blind

Would like to revisit, had a small sample

• Visual: Clear w/ thin clear edge. Quick cascade, thin viscosity • Initial Nasal Impact: Prickle, slightly warming • Aroma: Cooked agave, orange citrus, wet stone • Mouthfeel: Buttery w/ sufficient alcohol • Flavor: Cooked agave, honey, clementine, anise • Finish: Long with black pepper and clementine

Medicinal nose with some slight agave. There is a nice initial agave sweetness with some mild cinnamon on the palate. This is very mild in the mouth with some lower lip and tongue buzz. Medium length finish to wrap things up.

Blind: Light agave and lime on the nose. Agave and mineral taste.

A lot of minerality and anise with lots of earth and vegetal notes. A really nice high proof blanco.

Nice silky smooth mouthfeel with rich agave sweetness , citrus (grapefruit), slight vanillin right after then earthy and floralness that flows into a nice peppery finish

Nose: cooked agave, wet cement, herbal, alcohol, minty, ripe fruit Flavor: sweet agave, cinnamon, earthy, dried fruit, bitterness, with a creamy mouth feel Finish: long starts sweet and ends with white pepper

Nose: Beautiful juicy and ripe fruit on the nose. Silky smooth butter, caramel, and plenty of earth character. The fruit truly is the star of the show. Cherry, cider, prune, pear, grapes, and tropical fruit. Mild herbal pieces of celery and sage. Citrus comes in with a blast of orange, tangerine and no absence of grapefruit. Palate: Very nice body with plenty of viscosity. Similar to the nose, the fruitiness is the standout for me. Apple, banana, Cherry, cider, and berry. While there is agave character, it stands somewhat in the back. It’s like a beautifully ripe fruit salad with tequila gently poured over. Easily the most complex tequila I have to date.

This is amazing!! I have had it a few times now and the more I have it open the better it gets! The nose is floral, earthy and lots of agave after it has rested. This may be my fav high proof. I can’t wait to do it in a blind. To many flavors to explain and the finish is amazing!!

let this sit and open. earthy cinnamon strawberry! keeps changing the longer it sits. interestingly, it's not as hot as u would expect for a 50 abv hp note, I gave it 80 pts in the tmm blind high-proof tasting 10/2024

Nose: Agave,Pumpkin, Earth, Melon, Sea Salt, Minerality, Black Pepper, Black Grape Mouthfeel: light to medium bodied Palate: Agave, Anise, Mint, Jalapeño Finish: Black Pepper, Cantaloupe, Mint and Heat

This is a unique high proof with a great nose, fantastic flavors, and an amazing finish. For being 100 proof there is hardly any heat on this one. Nose: cooked agave, earth, grass, cinnamon, vegetal, and orange peel. Palate: cooked agave, grass, olive, cinnamon, vegetal, citrus, and anise. The finish is my absolute favorite about this high proof. It just lingers around and has a great viscous mouth feel. Very enjoyable sipper.

There’s a lot going on here but the secret is to let this open up. Drink slowly! Aroma is earthy, floral, a bit fruity and cinnamon. But it keeps changing over time as the alcohol blows off, so it’s a fun experience as long as you have some time. Lots of agave sweetness and a super long finish. A touch of mint and creamy caramel flavors. This is a fun tequila, but seriously take it slow and cherish it. And the agave-from-seed thing is mind blowing

I was hoping to love this after some of the early press I saw. I do really like it but it doesn’t meet the hype for me. The nose is earthy and floral. I get raw and cooked agave. I like a chocolate note and this has it. Maybe even a little strawberry. I really like the nose. On the tongue, I was hoping for an explosion of flavors but I get a dominant note of alcohol, anise and minerality. Agave comes through but pulling out individual flavors is hard. I let this rest a while but it is a first pour. It is possible this goes up for me later but for now it is a good offering, not a great offering for me. This one gets better as it breathes. Updated by a few points on third pour. After rating this in a TMM blind, I do not think this one is for me. The alcohol just overpowers the flavors.

Clean agave and pepper on the nose. Pepper follows through the palate and finish with some heat. I like pepper so it’s good but the complexity is missing for me

Agave, sour notes, like olive brine, some thyme, quality sipper, just not my favorite flavor profile

My first foray into Mijenta’s catalog, and I feel as though I’ve done myself a disservice. I’m not sure how much better it can get from here. On the nose I’m hit with a composite aroma which I can safely say I’ve never experienced in a tequila before. To start, this is a very floral nose, as though I’ve found myself strolling through a flower garden. Herbal notes are also detected, along with blue cheese, and grass. On the palate, ripe cooked agave is centerfold & sweet, with more floral notes, spearmint, anise, licorice, green olive, lavender, peppermint and cracked black pepper on the back palate. The finish is mid to long with a mid-range viscosity and a surprise appearance of melon & tropical fruits on the tail end. Yeah, this stuff is really good, like REALLY good. The fact that the eight year old agaves harvested for this expression were grown from seeds is as remarkable as the tequila within the bottle. Edit: Knocked a few points for slightly metallic/match shaving finish, copper pot still next run please! Sequestering FTW

9-3-24: Let it breathe more and tried again Nose: earth / olive / citrus / pepper/ hay / sage / salt Taste: sweet agave cooked bomb / peppermint/ vanilla/ anise / cinnamon/ pineapple/ grapefruit/ orange peel / lemongrass/ lavender / hint of tobacco/ salt Finish: medium viscosity mouthfeel / lingering peppermint, anise, sweet agave cooked / the peppermint is very strong through the whole taste, but the anise and agave sweetness balance this well This high proof blanco is very enjoyable, though it has a strong lingering peppermint/spicy note that carries on well after the swallow, but leaves a minty freshness. After a second pour a couple days after the first try, the sweetness has risen up to balance the peppermint and spicy cinnamon and give a nice balance between the two. This is quite good and really appeals to the sweet tooth in me.

Amazing nose on this one. Very different, mint, pine, sweetness, flavors of citrus, cooked agave, very balanced, not a lot of heat on this one for 100 proof. Excellent

1 word....INSANE

This is quite a complicated sipper. Couldn’t wrap my head around it to begin with. I think it needs a while to air. Lots of floral and tropical aromas amongst the agave, Lavender, rose, grapefruit. There’s also a bit of funkiness to it… hard to explain. Lots of depth to the flavour, same as the nose. The creaminess and sweetness became more apparent on the second tasting. It would be very interesting to blind taste this one without the knowledge of its origin

Wow. This is a very impressive Tequila to me. Sweet, fruity, floral aroma with agave throughout. On the palette it’s incredibly layered and complex. At times peppery and spicy but also mixed with a nice citrus that can make it feel sweet at other times. The finish is medium- long with a chocolaty earth essence that is very pleasant. This is an incredibly viscous tequila that’s noticeable past just looking at the legs/crown. At 50ABV there is a good kick but nothing distracting. Price isn’t low at just under $70 but you get what you pay for with this one imo. Possibly my favorite Mijenta I’ve tried so far.
