Light barrel influence on the nose. Easy going palate with some barre
I thought it was a great blanco at NOM 1500. I haven’t had at 1123 yet.
I could sniff this all day, wow! Barrel notes galore with agave. Caramel, hints of chocolate, maybe some cinnamon. This is a dessert sipper. Really enjoy it!
Trianon Tequila is a handcrafted, small batch tequila from the small town of Amatitan, in the Mexican state of Jalisco.
The company will begin the distribution of four expressions of Trianon Tequila in Florida, New York and Georgia this year.
Eduardo Gomez is trying to create a tequila importing empire based right here in the Scenic City. His product, called Trianon Tequila, will compete directly with well-known upscale brands like Patron in Tennessee.
Nose: Opens tight but rewards patience. Once it breathes, green olive brine comes through loud and clear - earthy, vegetal, and salty in all the right ways. Backed by cooked agave, oak, citrus, and a touch of minerality. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium-full mouthfeel with good structure. Cooked agave leads, followed by green apple tartness (malolactic in feel), black pepper, anise, peppermint, and a buttery softness. The brine from the nose doesn’t carry through as strongly here - this leans more spice forward. Finish: Soft and warm, with lingering oak and spice. Almost reads like a restrained añejo finish. Final Thoughts: Nose first, this had me hooked - the olive brine note is bold and unapologetic, and I’m a sucker for that kind of character. The palate goes a different direction, landing more in the spice and herbal camp, with just a trace of the brine. The warmth and structure of the finish round it out well. Old school leaning, with some edge - I’m into it.
