Volans Still Strength Blanco

92 SCORE

“Super delightful blend of bright fruity notes, tons of herbs, and deep agave sweetness - the flavors and sensations take me right to the front porch of El Pandillo. There is a really cool mouthfeel here, crisp yet full bodied at the same time with steely minerality on the finish. The agave in here is velvety and the way you feel after a glass, is the same. Another amazing addition to the Volans lineup, they get better every time. ”

Wild Common Tequila Reposado

92 SCORE

“A reposado for agave connoisseurs and aged spirit lovers alike, lightly aged in used Bourbon barrels.  The sweetness of cooked agave fresh from the oven is reinforced by natural flavors of caramel, stewed fruits, while the brighter notes of citrus and spice are highlighted with the higher than standard alcohol content. Aroma: strong cooked agave, buttered toast, honey Palate: cooked agave, slight nutty notes with a chewy mouthfeel reminiscent of freshly made caramels, tangerine, warm stone fruit jam and a pop of cinnamon stick spice Finish: lasting, full bodied and sweet”

El Tequileño Platino Blanco

82 SCORE

“Spicy, herbal, and a little too hot for my personal preference when sipping neat. Give it a few minutes to breathe and the alcohol dissipates lending a more approachable softness. Underripe banana and citrus peel up front with a lasting sweetness on the finish.”

Riazul Silver

77 SCORE

“On the sweeter more astringent side for a blanco. Easy finish but lacking complexity. Sipping it neat but thinking it would be very good in a herb forward cocktail or maybe with some lime and tonic.”
