Polanco Organic Blanco Tequila This is a solid new tequila coming out of NOM1633 - Casa Loy. It’s made with some traditional methods. Organic agave cooked in a stone brick oven, Tahona crushed, fermented in stainless steel, distilled in copper pot stills, using deep well water and then rested in American oak ex bourbon barrels. The bottle is made from recycled glass by the same people that make the Fortaleza bottles. They are embossed but also have paper labels and a cork with a wood topper. On the nose I’m getting fresh agave, white pepper, citrus zest, a slight vegetal note and some minerals. The taste is very similar to the nose. There’s some sweet agave, citrus, vegetal, minerals, some alcohol and white pepper on the finish. Overall it has a rustic taste with a bright nose and a medium peppery finish. The minerals run into the finish which I like. ——————-——————-——————-—————— Rated Blind: 81 N: celery, white pepper, clean vegetal T: creamy agave but no depth, savory F: disappears
Nice nose cook agave and some mineral reality. Taste cooked agave, buttery and a nice cinnamon finish!
Cooked agave, minerality, buttery, citrusy, very slight oak and vegetalness
Vessel: Glencairn Nose: Cinnamon, Butter, Citrus, Stonefruit, Melon Flavor: Jalapeño, Melon, Vanilla Finish: Cooked Agave, Anise, Honey With a name like Polanco, I had my doubts. To me, the name sounds more like a vodka brand than a tequila brand. Still, I gave this a fair shake and it did not disappoint.
Tasted in Glencairn Aromas: Cooked Agave, Minerals, Light Oak, Vegetal, Cinnamon, Citrus, Herbal, Floral, Fruity, and Brine Taste: Oak, Agave, Spicy Cinnamon, Light Vanilla/Caramel, Herbal, Black Pepper, Light Citrus, Fruity and light Earth
A pleasure after the Sapiens, this has nice body and natural sweetness and is very mild with little pepper and some roast agave. sample from tequila.diva
revisited with tmm blinds oct 2025 scored slightly lower due to price compared to other expressions in the blinds. Polanco blanco (from Casa loy NOM 1633) $55 usd Neck pour = When i first nosed it i got sweet agave butter yeast and alcohol. As it opened, I got some fruit anise mint some vegetal vanilla and pepper. Nice thick long legs. palate is sweet agave mint and a nice pepper finish. Easy sipper i will revisit and update my review if appropriate
Nothing wrong with this barrel rested blanco. Long slow tears in the glass & oily mouth feel. Lots of cooked agave, some vegetal, pepper, slight cinnamon, vanilla & citrus aromas and flavors. Tasted in Maestros Del Agave class.
The aroma opens with strong cooked agave, hint of lime and mint or spearmint. Black pepper and a touch of cinnamon add spice, while the alcohol is noticeable but well controlled. On the palate, the buttery mouthfeel stands out, coating the entire mouth. Cooked agave leads, followed by black pepper, earthiness, minerality, and a subtle mint. There's an astringency that adds structure without overwhelming. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering cooked agave, pepper, minerality, and a refreshing hint of mint that keeps the tequila lively to the very end.
On the nose: agave, citrus and vanilla. A little bit of vegetal, but more herbal on the tongue. Smooth, clean and dangerously easy-drinking. The barrel resting softens it a bit, but it remains a fantastic blanco.
Confianza lite. Solid.
Aromas está el agave, minerales, grama, cítrico en el paladar es similar y un poco picoso
Not super aromatic. On first pour I mainly get agave, citrus, and black pepper. Same flavors coat the mouth along along with mild alcohol and anise. Finish is short to medium. Good as a sipper but I’ve had better.
solid aroma, nothing overpowering. taste is light and fruity. but that finish... 24/25! builds to a nice peppery climax like eating a spicey food that kicks in just a few seconds later. right up my alley and quite enjoyable. price at $43 also another plus
Sample via Agave Swappers Nose:
Lot L25817A A great new brand for a mixing blanco. Also, it's certified organic if that is something that's important to you.
Solid juice with limited availability. There are blancos coming out with big budgets and much higher msrp that can’t compete with Polanco. It’s def worth a grab around 50 bucks. Tahona crushed, B corp certified and organic for 50 that’s pretty good
