Guess I’m in the minority here but lots of pepper on nose and palette. Solid budget bottle
don’t love the nose. Palate just ok
Aroma: some barrel notes, cinnamon, Flavor: 1137 Funk, nutty, a little sweet Finish: short
Similar profile as the base blanco. Cooked agave, citrus, funk, light astringent, minerality with new flavor profiles arriving from the 5 month aging process in ex-Jack Daniel’s barrels. Caramel, vanilla, I even got some nuttiness which I was not expecting. For the price, this repo provides a tremendous value proposition.
The smell had a bit of lactic that was the unpleasant taste and smell. The taste was also just funky in a bad way. Bad bottle ?
There is a dispute in the tequila over the right to certify and label tequila as additive free—but the small brands producing it are bearing the brunt of the fallout
VinePair asked bartenders around the country which bottles and brands aren’t getting the love they deserve.
Elvelo Tequila is yet another brand to add to the list, coming out of La Cofradia distillery- NOM 1137 in the valle region of Jalisco, Mexico.
Solid offering from the altamar group. I’m not a huge 1137 fan but this works well for cocktails.
