Cooked agave very present in the aroma alongside a significant note of wet clay. (This wet clay is distinctly different from the Laphroaig which is much more of an earthy dirt aroma). None of the floral sweetness of the KC appears. The flavor is rich and spicy with cooked agave, cinnamon, and nutmeg. That spice lingers for a long finish. All three Mundials (Knob Creek, Yamazaki, and Laphroaig) are interesting side streets from the base ET añejo. While not wildly different they each display unique characteristics in aroma and flavor. All three have relatively long, lingering finishes. Definitely a good side-by-side tasting exercise. My preference is 1-Yamazaki (87), 2-Knob Creek (86), 3-Laphroaig (84). But, in the end, I would likely just go with the standard El Tesoro añejo (88). Side-by-side tasting of base ET añejo and 3 Mundial añejos. 06-12-2026

Very unique

Cherry, cooked agave, vanilla, baking spices. The nose is amazing and this doesn’t disappoint on the palate, great finish to boot.

I liked this one quite a bit. There’s a great balance between the oak and agave. On the nose there’s cherry, vanilla, baking spice and oak. On the palate there’s more of the same notes but there’s a nice peppery bite with some natural sweetness. A nice, clean easy sipper.

Berries, nuts, herbs, caramel and vanilla On the palate this is sweet agave, barrel, vanilla and cinnamon. This is another fantastic Mundial collection.

naturally sweet with vanilla and caramel flavors

This El Tesoro Mundial release has been my favorite of the series, On the nose you get agave and oak, The palate is agave sweetness with some oak, fruits. The price brings this down a few points.

Subtle sweet and smokey aroma. Very smooth with hints of whiskey throughout. Smooth and light finish.

Fantastic pour where Mexico meets Japan. Loads of cooked agave, Mexican hot chocolate, sandalwood, caramelized nuts, raisins, figs, and berries.

Very very fruitful berry notes very noted and the taste and smoothness just flows so nice together. Highly recommended it is a bit on the expensive side but worth it for celebrating special moments and milestones in your life. Cheers

Aroma: Agave, fruit, citrus, oak, & vanilla Taste: Oak, citrus, fruit, vanilla Finish: lingering taste of vanilla, oak & fruit Overall: another great Mundial release from El Tesoro. I prefer the other Mundial releases. Price brings score down. Value 3. The other Mundial are $82 at Remedy, this Yamazaki is $160

Another dime from the Mundial collection. I get oak, agave, and maybe a little tobacco on the nose. The body opens up into strong, savory oak notes with agave in the background. Nice finish. Got this from High Spirits.

LOT ETMC-Y-001, bottled on 26/08/2025, tasted on 10-11-25. Color: light yellow. Aroma: cooked agave with a hint of sweetness, hint of citrus, hint of vanilla, hint of earthiness, hint of pepper spiciness, after 20 minutes in the glass light wood note emerges and becomes more noticeable as time goes by. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, good sweet sour and citrus balance, thick mouthfeel. Finish is medium to medium long, sweet sour and citrus balance persists. The wood note in this tequila becomes slightly dominating as time goes by, so, note to self, drink it sooner than later after serving.
