This blanco left me confused. Right off the bat, the nose was off-putting having an overwhelming note of sex wax, as if I walked into a Ron Jon’s surf shop. I also found coconut, suntan lotion, an intense cheesy funk, and an artificial fruit I couldn’t put my finger on somewhere between a dragonfruit & a strawberry. The palate was admittedly better, but it still tasted altered to fit a certain “tropical” cheesy profile. The finish left my palate with a bitter sugar cookie note that I did not like. The gaudy bottle is a bit of an eye sore too. Padre Azul clearly took inspiration from the early 2000’s fashion trends of Affliction with a hefty skull top to boot.
Nose is just caramel and vanilla. Flavor is caramel and vanilla no agave a lot of artificial sweetener . The finish is just artificial sweetener to me . This is one I really don’t taste much of anything that relates to tequila.
not my profile
wasn't my profile
This is an example of overly sweet tequila with no flavor profile of agave. It’s a thick additive laden tequila with bites of caramel, butterscotch, and maple syrup quality. Padre Azul reposado does not showcase the agave unfortunately.
Full of additives. Taste like it came out of a candy store. I will say it tastes better then it smells….but it’s a very low standard. This would be my comparison to good tequilas.
Long Island Lou gets real about the full Padre Azul lineup.
How in the world did the Austrian co-founder of Padre Azul Tequila, H.P. Eder, go from being the son of a Schnapps distiller to creating his own Mexico-based tequila label?
