Esquisito Blanco

86 PUNTAJE

“Thought from the nose we were heading down the Zumbador, Manuscrito, Ensueno cinnamon and basking spice rabbit hole. Will update my notes but there is a mineral/cement note that I wasn’t expecting with the aroma. I do enjoy it. Not sure about the packaging but at $55 it’s way more in line than what is listed as a $150 repo. Interesting bottle that I would like to revisit. Is it possible that this is the Tahona blanco? Got it in a swap and only says Exquisito. ”

Tequila Ocho Añejo Old Fitzgerald Barrel Select

90 PUNTAJE

“Really opened up and became fuller, rounder as it sat. Heavy barrel at first that really gave way to a rich agave, caramel, vanilla sipper. Just top level juice. Special bottle just outside of my spending range. Would make a great gift for sure.”

“Would be higher but for the $70 tag”

Lost Lore Tequila Reposado

“2 oz sample. Need to try to verify that it wasn’t one of their many 1 offs and SIB. I think I might still have their stock repo to compare. Regardless it felt like a higher proof. But what was in the glass was outrageously good. Sweet baking spice. Barrel. Tequila. Kinda reminded me of the HP Manuscrito Chp 4”

“Wanna come back with a cleaner nose and palate. But I like it. Barrel but tequila. Underrated brand.”

“Tasty. Little floral note that I’m not sure about. Simply cannot get behind 100 jovens”

Mosto Tequila Blanco

“Mosto…Meet Zumbador. Zumbador….meet Mosto. Great juice. Couple points behind because of the cost comparison.”

“Mint. Pepper. Grass. Veggies. Enjoyable. Very much so. Will reevaluate and rate again with a full bottle. Enjoy the subtle heat provided by the HP. Worth the hype.”

“Nice blend of veggie/minetal 1579 with a little cinnamon backbone. I’m also kinda a Stan for Jimmy Sauza. Definitely a bottle to buy for me.”

Prolijo Tequila Blanco

84 PUNTAJE

“Light and easy drinking. Mineral. Faint pepper. Veggies. It’s kind of the antithesis of my preferred profile, but I like it for being that difference. For me it’s a $40 bottle. Getting to $50 and I’m probably looking elsewhere.”

Tequila Tromba Reposado

81 PUNTAJE

“Thin nose meets thin finish. Clean barrel and light caramel. Agave is there. Would do better with a richer, more full bodied finish. More viscosity. At $42 I’d have no problem buying and pouring.”

El Ateo Reposado Ultra Premium

84 PUNTAJE

“Definitely wasn’t my favorite. Want to try again. There was something about the finish that was off. Almost perfumy. Don’t think it can be the dish detergent. It’s the thing that kinda makes it not all that great. Everything else is pretty solid.”
