Sampled at Aurora Tequila Fest. At about $25 this is a great deal with extra points for value. But it tastes too soft and sweet to me.

Bottle: L070722-08, 29-08-2022 Appearance: Clear Nose: Cooked agave, honey, tropical fruit, guava, coconut, citrus, tangerine, metallic, vanilla, and mint…unexpectedly fruity and sweet Palate: Alcohol, black and white pepper, cooked agave, vegetal, honey, metallic, and vanilla…quite a bit more heat with less complexity here Finish: Alcohol, vegetal, celery, metallic, and honey…a bit hot, with a medium viscosity and long duration Overall: I picked this up on sale for ~$14 from a local ABC, so I didn’t initially have the highest of hopes. While the nose was surprisingly decent, the palate was definitely more consistent with the price I paid. This is definitely passable as a sipper in a pinch, but would be more likely to shine as a base for cocktails.

Nom 1424- a solid value blanco, perfect for mixing and can be sipped in a pinch. I personally think I can sip this a little easier than Olmeca Altos or Legado.

Great value & price, liter bottle, great for making cocktails. Will not disappoint

This was surprising. Citrus, minerality, pepper heat. This would make an excellent well tequila or cocktail mixer.
