Flight: Blanco Flight
Contestants:
* Cimarrón Blanco
* Espolòn Blanco
* Comisario Blanco

* G4 Blanco
Third in the blanco flight was Comisario Blanco. This pour immediately leaned into a more rustic profile, showcasing earthy minerality, fermentation, and classic agave character while offering a touch more sweetness than the previous pours.
Nose
The aroma opens with damp stone-like minerality, earthy vegetal notes, and a rustic fermented character. It carries an earthy quality that may remind some of a damp cellar or wet stone, giving the tequila an authentic, traditional feel.
Taste
The palate delivers black pepper and cinnamon layered with fermented agave and a pleasant underlying sweetness. The balance between spice, funk, and sweet agave creates a profile with more personality than a straightforward everyday blanco.
Finish
The finish leaves a satisfying warmth from the baking spices while lingering fermented agave notes continue to develop after each sip. The finish has enough length to remind you of the agave without overstaying its welcome.
Overall
Comisario Blanco embraces its rustic personality. The earthy minerality, fermented agave, pepper, cinnamon, and subtle sweetness create a traditional blanco that isn’t afraid to show character. It may not be the most polished tequila in the flight, but it offers an honest expression of agave that rewards drinkers who appreciate a little funk alongside classic spice. It finishes as a memorable pour and earns its place among the stronger bottles in this lineup.
Score: 89/100

Nose is pleasant. Floral not sweet. Wonder how it’s made? Seems to have a modern taste like made with modern technology but well done regardless. Easy to drink.

Very mild agave aroma, but I got nothing sweet. Agave flavor, slight pepper, very short (but smooth) finish. Nothing offensive or sweet at all, but nothing complex. Not bad tequila, just nothing special.

If sweet and fruity is your tequila kink, you’ll probably like this one. The sweet aroma is an accurate set up for a tequila that delivers a subtle sweetness combined with a touch of fruitiness. The finish is bit blah with some mild heat that doesn’t linger long. While I prefer more of the earthy agave flavors, this one is nice change of pace.
