Aroma: Undecipherable Palate: Cooked agave takes the lead, joined by subtle vanilla and a light touch of brine. The profile remains gentle, not very challenging to the palate. Finish: Brief and quiet, with fading brine and a hint of grassiness. Overall, a simple, subdued expression that plays it safe.

Nose: Very nice, oak, agave, some vanilla Taste: Not good at all. Chemically, nothing tastes natural. 2 sips and I’m done.

Worse than the repo. It isn’t the worst tequila I have had but I will not add this to my collection.

Nose: Pepper/Earth/raw Agave/olive / citrus / lime / lemongrass / sage /. Lavender / brine Taste: Pepper / earth / spicy cinnamon / cooked agave / anise / banana / pineapple / citrus / lime / orange / spearmint / orange blossom / jalepeno / cream soda Finish: medium viscosity mouthfeel / lingering pepper and cinnamon on front of palate / jalepeno and citrus on the backend of the swallow This blanco has some fun tastes. The nose is nice, nothing overly engaging except for a few hints of olive, lavender, and a nice brine aroma. But the taste is where this tequila puts on some salsa music and does some latin dancing on your tongue. Lots of cinnamon and spearmint to contrast with the heavy pepper note, but it’s the jalapeno and citrus finish that leave you wanting more.

Agave and spearmint on the nose. Cinnamon though not barrel aged Easy to drink. Palate sweet agave and cinnamon. Finish has a bit of alcohol burn.

Nock Blanco – 90/100 Blanco Flight Contestants: * Comisario Blanco * G4 Blanco * Nock Blanco * Espolòn Blanco * Cimarrón Blanco Third in this blanco flight was Nock Blanco. After two solid pours, this one immediately stood out by putting cooked agave front and center while balancing minerality, fermentation, spice, and sweetness. It was the first pour in the flight that felt like everything was working together. Nose The nose opens with bright minerality and fresh cooked agave, supported by a touch of light fermentation. The aromas are clean and inviting without becoming overly earthy or aggressive. Taste The palate showcases roasted agave alongside a pleasant natural sweetness. Cinnamon and black pepper build across the tongue while subtle fermentation adds complexity without overpowering the agave. The balance between sweetness, spice, and minerality makes each sip interesting. Finish The finish carries warm baking spices that linger comfortably. Pepper and cinnamon remain present while the light fermentation note continues into the aftertaste, creating a finish that is both flavorful and satisfying. Overall Nock Blanco delivers exactly what I look for in a traditionally made blanco. The cooked agave remains the star of the show while minerality, fermentation, cinnamon, and pepper provide depth and balance. Nothing feels forced or overdone, and the lingering finish keeps inviting another sip. In this flight, Nock separates itself by offering both complexity and excellent drinkability. Score: 90/100
