The No.7 Blanco is crystal clear, with a nice viscosity in the glass. The nose is mineral, with heavy notes of agave, and lighter notes of brine, alcohol, orange peel, and leather. It has a tingly, metallic mouthfeel. The taste is agave, pepper, citrus, and thyme; and the finish is long-lasting, with the pepper and citrus overtaking the agave after a while. This is a quality Blanco, best served neat (in my opinion) or to enhance your favorite cocktail.

This jungle juice is BOLD! So earthy, herbal, and gravelly. Aroma: Agave punch, tart plums, wet leaves, minerality. Flavor: Agave, earthy, herbal, minerals, pepper. Finish: Every bit of this 48% ABV powers through with an herbal peppery ending.
Maybe I had a bad bottle, but something isn’t right. It tastes artificial. While there is some nice agave flavor there, it is overwhelmed by an artificial sweetness that gets worse the more I hold it in my mouth.
Sorry to the lovers of this brand. We did this blind side by side another quality repo. All of us detected some bad tastes. Aroma is good. But the taste is not. Something burned on artificial on the entry. The finish follows with some bitterness from the taste. Not good. Is this Casamigos?
Funky on the nose, a bit more alcohol that I’d like, agave notes are there, but that funk/methane like smell is a turn off for me. Palate is pleasing, agave, citrus, vegetal. Finish was short with alcohol lingering at the end.
Bottle: Batch No. NR2601, FAMILIA ALVARADO, 05/02/2025 Appearance: Clear Initial thoughts… Nose: Melon, cayenne pepper, grilled artichoke Palate: Cooked agave, Thai chili peanut, brine/salinity Finish: Asparagus, lemon, smoke Final review pending…

It’s been barely a decade since Cazcanes Tequila was founded by a passionate trio of agave enthusiasts. But the brand has already established itself as one of the best-selling craft labels in the game.
Tequilas aged in wine casks have become trendy recently, as producers play with different barrel influences. But “Rosa” tequilas, like “cristalino”, aren’t an official category.
Blind tasting results: 10 great "Rosa" tequilas.
High-proof tequilas, once only for hardcore drinkers, are now being released at a steady pace. Why?
While aficionados tend to prefer blanco tequilas, and imbibers of dark spirits usually gravitate towards añejos, the reposado category is often overlooked.
