This is a nice easy blanco to sip, cooked agave and vegetal notes. Nothing complex but easy sipper and great budget price.
Sampled at Binny’s All Things Agave, June 2026. High value points at around $36. Soft profile, not complex. But not offensive either. Much better than the mezcal.
Glad to see these guys coming out with something additive free and made well. Horno/autoclave blend, wild fermentation and second distillation in copper. Lots of non experienced tequila drinkers are going to go for this and that’s a good thing. It’s a solid blanco.
A celebrity tequila brand worth your support? I say yes. I understand you may hate celebrity tequila on general principle, and that's fine. Personally, my assessment is that celebrities attract people to agave spirits who might not normally consider the category. And as long as those celebrities are producing solid tequila that's well made, I have no problem whatsoever with the premise. Brands like Santo, Insólito, Código 1530, Juan Lobo and others are all celebrity-associated in some form or fashion, and the tequila is sound. Dos Hombres is no different and this Blanco is certainly in the upper echelon of "celebrity tequilas" on the quality scale. The brand - starting with the mezcal - is very strong in restaurants, bars, and restaurant hotels. Consequently, a lot of their sales volume will be in cocktails, more so than neat pours, and the flavor profile reflects this decision. The tequila is crisp and clean and very easy drinking. Not enormously complex or mysterious, but from sniff to finish it’s just a solid tequila. this Blanco is priced very reasonably at a MSRP of $39. Aroma: It’s a fairly strong scent overall with loads of minerals, white pepper, and a distinct earthiness. This is not a dainty, Los Altos tequila, but clearly a Valley tequila with that signature grit. Flavor: Also very gravelly, with a tiny bit of vegetal notes, a small dose of citrus that’s invisible on the nose, and a nice sweetness that hits you as the last memory. I suggest giving this a little air, as it definitely opens up over time. Finish: It’s a good business decision because the finish will stand out in cocktails - even very sweet chain restaurant margarita recipes - and you’ll know you’re drinking tequila. But for me, as someone who almost only drinks tequila neat - including for this review - the finish is more hot and aggressive than I prefer.
Dos Hombres offers a value driven blanco that is widely available. A solid entry sipper and a reasonable option as a mixer but there are more affordable alternatives. Nose: Light sweetness with green agave, white pepper, honey suckle, lime peel and grapefruit. A trace of minerality. Solid. Taste: Mild agave sweetness with medium pepper heat. Medium body. Slight notes of artichoke, lime, and grapefruit citrus. Finish: The build up on the second glass really allows the peppery bite to shine. Overall, very solid. Reminds me of a more refined CasAgave.
Nice additive free blanco.Good price point too! Those Hombres were smart in getting a great nom and a master distiller that knows what good tequila is!
Crisp fresh agave, minerals and vegetal in the aromas. Cooked agave, pepper, grapefruit and lime. It finishes with some cinnamon and baking spice.
Subtle aroma. Very smooth flavor with a lot of agave and minerality. Finish is peppery add sweet.
Nose: Wet pottery/clay, dried flowers, alcohol astringency (more my palate today than this tequila) lime rind and white pepper ground together in a mortar and pestle. Faint kafir like sweetness Palate: Sweet bay leaf, white pepper and lime, dried flowers. Some wet terra cotta aroma but it’s the creosote petrichor note in this tequila that would be called minerality. Nice mouthfeel. Not thin not thick but it has some body. Overall: For $36 this stuff is great but not amazing. It’s in the same realm as Caminante blanco and although they are very different from one another, generally they remind me of each other for being both pretty unique, high quality, but not blowing anybody away. Makes a great margarita. At first when I opened the bottle it reminded me of Cascahuin and I actually was thinking (I don’t have a bottle of Cascahuin on hand right now) that it was better than Cascahuin. But it’s turned into something very different than Cascahuin in the last 72 hours. I dig it. I would buy it again, it is unique and delicious, but it isn’t going to blow your socks off.
This is without a doubt a very solid blanco, especially at the price point of around $40-45. As someone who is not a fan of “celebrity” tequila I can truly say that this is different. Love the minerality here, the buttery mouthfeel, hints of citrus, along with a touch of white pepper. This blanco is one you can sip on daily without feeling guilty about the price. For me this is a very well made and a solid blanco that will appeal to everyone .., very well done !!

Additive free blanco under $40, not overly complicated, a great intro to additive free tequila, respected nom and master distiller. Light cooked agave, herbal, light citrus notes. Again a …. Great intro tequila. Look forward to their aged expressions. Solid right out of the gate
