Nose: Cooked and raw agave sit side by side, pulling in jalapeño, a bit of earth, and a light mineral edge. There’s a touch of malolactic funk that gives the profile some character, wrapped in fresh vegetal tones that keep everything feeling alive and direct. Palate & Mouthfeel: The viscosity stays on the lighter side - despite the chatter about this being thick, it doesn’t land that way for me. It opens clean and quick with sweet agave and jalapeño pepper, carried by that same fresh veg brightness. A hint of anise surfaces as it moves, sharpened by a lively streak of citrus that keeps the pace energetic. Finish: The sweet and spicy interplay hangs on, with the pepper lingering and lighting up the palate in a steady, tingling way. It’s a finish that stays active without overstaying. Final Thoughts: Give this one a little air and it settles into a layered, expressive HP blanco. A very solid showing, and one that rewards patience with depth and flavor.

La Pulga Añejo delivers a warm, bourbon-leaning profile while still holding onto its agave roots. The nose opens with cherry, honey, oak, and soft chocolate, creating an inviting sweetness that feels richer than the reposado. The palate brings sweet agave, vanilla, caramel, citrus, and a touch of jalapeño heat, balanced by gentle barrel spice and chamomile. It’s approachable yet layered, with a medium finish that leaves hints of honey, oak, and light agave sweetness. Overall, this is the most complete expression in the La Pulga lineup—easy to sip, subtly complex, and crafted for whiskey and agave fans alike

The nose stays true to the Pulga profile—plum, stone fruit, figs, sweet honey, cinnamon, and caramelized agave with just a whisper of barrel influence. On the palate, it comes in hot, but in a way that works for a high-proof repo: honeydew melon, baked agave, light cooking spices, wet barrel, pepper, and subtle dried fruit. Complex, flavorful, and surprisingly layered. The finish is long, spicy, and green-pepper forward, lingering with warmth before slowly settling down. Overall, this is a fantastic high-proof reposado, great value, and a bottle that keeps opening up with every sip. Bold, fruity, spicy, and absolutely worth having on the shelf

Give this one a few minutes to open—once the alcohol blows off, it absolutely shines. The nose brings cinnamon, cooked agave, pepper, citrus, and a touch of minty vegetal notes. The palate is an agave punch with bright citrus and pepper and a thick, oily mouthfeel. The finish is light, warm, sweet, and spicy, rolling back into a satisfying high-proof heat. Overall, an excellent high-proof blanco that gets better with every minute in the glass. Bold, clean, and beautifully made.

At 110 proof tequila can tend to lose flavor to the alcohol taste. This tequila does a nice job of balancing the flavor at this proof keeping strong barrel notes and carry over from the Blanco mint. A nice addition for those that like reposado.
