This is a fantastic candidate to have fun blending with others in the Zumbador lineup. For example, 50% of the high proof blanco with 50% of the anejo. Aroma: 22/25 Green pepper, cinnamon, cooked agave, sweet with a hint of floral. Tangerine peel. Palate: 26/30 Spicy, black pepper, cooked agave, sweet herbal notes. Finish: 21/25 Flavorful, although not very long for me. Value: 10/10 $45 in San Francisco. Fantastic for a well made addictive free high proof blanco. Not sure there is anything under $50 that could beat this in a blind. Will be testing it out against G4, Fortaleza, Volans, and Tapito soon!
The 10/10 on value really have this one a bit of a boost, but I think its fantastic either way! Nose: Sweet Melon, Citrus, Vegetal, Anise, Floral, Limestone, Pepper Palate: Agave, Brine, Grass, Anise, Grapefruit, Minerality Finish: Anise, Fruit (tropical), Cinnamon, Black Pepper, Cooked Agave, some heat This is a solid staple that has no reason not to be in anyone's arsenal. The fruity flavors in this make it a great sipper and something that is not bad, but could be divisive in certain cocktails as a mixer. Overall, this is my favorite Zumbador release to date!
Zumbador hp blanco - 54abv Sample from Brian Cruz Agave Swappers Sipping at 10pm from a glencairn (no previous tequila tonight) Nose: vegetal, pepper, fruity, cinnamon, agave, anise Palate: sweet cooked agave, raspberries, brine, saline, yeast and grapefruit Finish: dry, agave with a nice lingering heat This is a really good tequila, and add to that the value @ $40. Wow! This is a must-have for your bar
Great HP
This bad boy needs to open up, nice aromas, the heat blows off after resting in the glass. The flavors are intense. Finish lingers. The real bonus is the price $39.99
Nose is bright Agave, floral, Grass, citrus, distinct 1643 note Pallet is bright, grassy, similar to reg proof just more pepper, fig note at the end
Nice and bright nose. Agave, spearmint, citrus. Nice creamy mouthfeel. ABV works well with flavor pop. Agave sweetness, citrus, mint, pepper.
Batch:L750ZBH0001 54%ABV Visual: Great viscosity. Clear with clear medium edge. Initial Nasal Impact: Warming. Aroma: Cooked agave, citrus, cinnamon, white pepper, anise, limestone. Fresh clean agave. Mouthfeel: Buttery with sufficient alcohol. Wow, this is 54%ABV? Does not drink like a high proof. Flavor: The citrus explodes. Grapefruit and especially lime, mineral, anise, cooked agave, slight herbal notes. Finish: Long with the anise, mineral and lime notes carrying throughout with plenty of cooked agave. Incredible balance and flavor for the price point. Take the price out and this is still an amazing high proof blanco. Consider the price (39.99 at TW) this is a must buy high proof.
Cooked agave is the dominant aroma. Some dried grass, a vanilla/cinnamon, slight lactic funk, tropical fruit, and wet stone aromas also present. Flavor is more cooked agave, green olive, vanilla, earth, and saline. Long and a bit dry finish. This is highly enjoyable and priced extremely well.
Sweet cooked agave that gives away to nice minerality and floral notes. For the price and proof you cannot beat this
Aroma - nothing but sweet agave in your face. Taste - super sweet agave and cinnamon. Finish - agave and cinnamon again! Finish - long lasting and minty. Bought for $39.99. I wish I had more time with this bottle but I put it out at a get together at my home and it did not last. People drank it, and drank it fast. Everyone loved it. I compare it to LALO Hp and Tequila Ocho Puntas. I like it just as mush as those 2 bottles but it’s $25 cheaper. What a bargain. This is a sweet agave blanco lovers dream. At this price, it’s INCREDIBLE. I’m glad this is easily accessible in my market. This gets high marks for its price. What a steal.
As always, Zumbador scores 10/10 for value. This is a very solid high proof offering!
Nose: The most intensely compact sweet, hot, pineappley, plastic note I have ever encountered in a tequila. The combination of plastic, saccharine sweetness and pineapply-YET orchid vanilla botanical sweetness is crazy intense. The nose itself has a pronounced finish which is all tight honey and orchid flowers and a faint Mexican cinnamon note that is so satisfying. Palate: big honey and floral notes on the palate. Sweet vanilla in the most amazing of ways. The sweet honey vanilla note is so intense and in very small doses has a minty rye cracker bready thing that is so unique when sipping. Finish: honestly the nose and palate are SOOO intense that the finish immediately drops off into normal territory BUT IS SOOO LONG and has all of the honey floral notes in very savory umami ways. Overall: Holy Shit I have never sipped a tequila like this one. I bought it for $39. I can’t believe it. I can’t at all. Incredible spirit. HOW DID THEY DO THIS?!?
I have a very large spirit collection and have been partaking in agave spirits for more than thirty-five years. The Zumbador high proof is one of the most amazing values out there...ever! If you don't replace your everyday sipper, your margarita maker, your family/friend gift giving introduction to tequila... with this amazing and budget friendly tequila you are doing a community disservice. This is a full nose, full palette, oily, long/thick finish unlike any budget or high priced (for that matter) agave spirit that you are likely ever to come across again. Don't just get one bottle... get five... or more. It will replace nearly everything else in your collection.
I had this at a 9 as a value. If there is a true 10 out there I’d love to know it. The regular blanco is just pretty good but the still strength is great. Regular is very plain but the still strength brings the flavor with it. Just a great and clean awesome tasting blanco.
On the palate I get sweet cooked agave followed by the same grassy notes I get from the regular Blanco followed by a grapefruit citrus note. A little Anise with just a touch of mint. This drinks well above its price point IMO.
Lot 1 I enjoyed the Zumbador blanco quite a bit especially at its price point so I had high expectations going in. On the nose there isn’t a ton going on; the yeasty agave common among many tequilas. However on the palate and the finish I felt this one stood out quite a bit especially compared to the standard blanco. You feel all 54% ABV as soon as it hits your tongue but once the sting or “kick” as I like to call it, subsides you get some intense citrus fruity notes along with pepper and some grass. A long finish that keeps you warm and adds a taste of chocolate like the original blanco did. For $30-35 a fantastic blanco that sips well above its price point. 10/10 value for me. Also makes an excellent Paloma
Straight up fire water! I cracked the bottle, poured, and drank. Maybe a better idea to let it breathe a bit. Heavy alcohol both on the nose and in Boca. But it does have interesting and complex notes of pepper, minerality and cooked agave. I will re-rate after letting the bottle open up. Great value as are all Zumbador expressions. I’m excited to use this high proof in my wife’s margaritas so she will let her hair down as a food tequila should.
gorgeous! loads of agave, citrus and melon. some anise, grass, light Earth. fantastic nose. delicious taste. the first I've ever ranked a perfect 10 for value and I'd give it an 11 if I could.
Aroma: tons of cooked agave, citrus zest, and brine. I don’t pick up much of any heat on the nose, which is impressive considering the ABV. I would describe it more so as vegetal as opposed to fruity. Flavor: wow, this is great. The brine and citrus are screaming. I picked up a nice shot of pepper and anise. This is incredibly easy to drink. Finish: complements the flavor very nicely. It last quite a while. Overall: for the price point you can’t beat it. A+ all day in my book.
Sample via Agave Swappers Nose: cooked agave, butter, minerals, brine, citrus Taste: cooked agave, black pepper, minerals, butter, brine Finish: black pepper, ethanol, a little rough around the edges Overall, an excellent sipper! It just breaks down a little bit on the finish for me.
Nose: cooked agave, black pepper, mint, jalapeño, basil, olive, limestone, asparagus Palate: cooked agave, black pepper, basil, Jalapeño, rosemary, olive, thyme, lemongrass, fresh mint finish
Oh my my where do I even begin, I guess I’ll start with 3 words, wow wow and WOW. This juice is absolutely phenomenal, insanely delicious to say the least. On the nose I get nice agave, minerals, citrus, some vegetal with floral notes, white pepper, mint along with a touch of anise. Palate, rich creamy mouthfeel, sweet cooked agave, citrus like a grapefruit, minerals, some grass along with slight white pepper. The finish is long and absolutely amazing, again wow, wow, and WOW. This HP is outstanding, hard to beat considering the price point, for me this rivals some of the best HP’s I’ve ever had. Dangerously good and fantastic in every way !!
Incredible value at $39.95. I can hardly think of anything at a similar price point that would be superior to this one.

Aroma: A massive amount of Rich Cooked Agave greets you immediately! A distinct Earthiness and Minerality abound as well. A candy-like Red Hot Cinnamon mixes with Black Pepper to showcase a spiciness. There is also a ton of Citrus notes that offers a mix of Orange and Lime Fruits. An Herbalness of Spearmint, Anise, and Sage combined with freshly cut Grass gives off the Green Notes. As this opens up over time Tropical Fruit Notes are accompanied by Honey and Haybarn. Taste: This starts off with a Super Sweet Agave blending with the same Red Hot Cinnamon Candy notes. There's also a blast of Orange Citrus. The Spearmint and Anise come along from the Aromas. Pineapple and Mango offer their Tropical notes. Grassy notes both fresh and dry are a part of the flavor. Finish: A long Sweet and Spicy ride with the Agave Front and Center! AMM--90 Salud!!!
