My fellow Texans from Fort Worth bring us this High Proof / Still Strength Blanco, presented at 110 proof - 55% ABV! FYI, High Proof and Still Strength aren’t synonymous, but this tequila is both. #themoreyouknow Crisp agave jumps out of the glass, along with bright celery, white pepper, dry minerals, and some light, earthy mushrooms with a slight vegetal note. The agave is ever-present on the palate. It’s green and bright, and it adds a natural sweetness. The alcohol brings intensity to the minerality and white pepper. The vegetal note is mostly fresh jalapeño, and the alcohol adds intensity to the flavors. This is a bold blanco as a sipper, and it’s a cocktail king due to its bold flavors. 92 - TTR (The Tequila Report)
I like this. Nice nose with a malolactic funk, hint of mint and citrus. Easy sipper, nice agave sweetness, some hay/barnyard notes with black pepper. Clean finish, not much burn
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
