“When I first bring it to the nose, I get light nuttiness, honey, caramel, wood, lime, and a soft fruitiness (possibly lychee). Sharp, spiky ethyl and petrichor add a more pronounced edge. On the palate, the profile becomes spicy, floral, and citrus-forward, with lemon and lime accompanied by a very subtle white floral note. Nuttiness and anise also emerge, but the anise is interesting here; it comes across richer and rounder than its usual sharper, more earthy tone I get. The finish is light, with lingering fruit and citrus, a trace of floral character, and a soft barrel sweetness. Cooked agave remains present as everything fades. ”

Ocho Tequila Reposado
“With a good sniff or two cooked agave immediately stands out, accompanied by petrichor, light lime citrus, noticeable ethyl pepperiness, and a soft touch of salinity. On the palate, the sweet cooked agave remains the dominant note. Soft pepperiness is joined by light honey, mint, and a subtle wintergreen character, and salinity. The ethyl is more pronounced here, giving the palate a noticeable bite. As it fades, the finish is clinging and earthy, with petrichor and cooked agave lingering alongside soft salinity.”

El Ateo Añejo
“This is an extraordinary expression from El Ateo. Deep, rich, layered complexity that I strongly believe will be a bottle that’s talked about in the years to come. Single brand NOM giving you character and versatility. The brand demonstrates great attention to detail and masterful blending. This is the kind of bottle you’d like to grow old with. What I mean by that is that you buy enough to hopefully make it through many more decades. The value on this is great I caught it for 69.99!”

Socorro Tequila Blanco 110 Singular
“Tried on 9/12/26 San Antonio Tx tasting. Total transparency, I was impressed by this still strength as the previous profile I tasted in May at Good Juice San Antonio had a quiet impression, where the new Singular leaves a lasting one. Nose: you get anise, green citrus, agave and a plum/grapefruit aroma that sets up the tastes buds. . Palate: first sip makes the tongue tingle with a green minerality and brine explosion and a firm medium burn that lingers. Second sip brings out black pepper, citrus zest and agave cream that tames the burn which makes this still strength dangerously good. this one will be a good pick up for HP lovers. ”

Arette Blanco
“Aroma of cooked agave with hints of minerality and vegetal. Flavor of agave and alcohol with hints of minerals Finishes with the same flavors, and cleanly. Value is excellent. For about $25-$30 USD you get 750ml-1Liter of high quality tequila that competes with, and beats some, more expensive blancos. You can enjoy this on it's own, yet it's cheap enough to not feel awkward about using it in cocktails. This will probably become a new standard of mine for citrusy cocktails, as it's less mineraly and earthy than Cimmaron. But, both Cimmaron and Arette are equally great tequilas at budget-conscious prices. ”

Kirkland Signature Añejo Tequila
“POV, I’m a maestro dobel guy. This Kirkland is almost every bit as good. I did a blind taste test with four others and this came in a close second to MD. It’s the flavor and the finish that is especially pleasing to my tastes. And, as others have already stated, what a bargain. ”
