“Nose is oak-rich oily cognac. Bittersweet notes of burnt caramel, agave, wood, earth and leather, with a spicy woody finish. Unique and delicious.”

“Fruit and some cinnamon on the nose. Agave, vanilla, baking spice undertones, some brown notes from the barrel. Nice citrusy spicy finish that takes its time. Love this repo.”

Pasote Blanco

“Smells and tastes like a summer morning. Grassy, wet, piney, earthy. Big and velvety, full-on agave with a nice heat and a long green finish. This is great stuff.”

Casa Noble Tequila Joven

90 SCORE

“Nose is a blast of earthy agave, vanilla, some citrus. Wonderfully big and full on the tongue. Giant wallop of agave, vanilla, citrus, some woody sourness. Finish is a 102 proof spicy fire with some burnt sugariness way in the back. Fantastic.”

Tapatio Blanco

“Crisp, floral, beautiful. An amazing blanco, and it comes in a litre bottle for the price of a 750. Buy two when you see it.”

“Forward, almost aggressive nose and flavour. Sweet agave, citrus, a little grassy and earthy underneath. Buttery mouthfeel. Nicely peppered with good medium finish. A delicious blanco!”

Volcan de Mi Tierra Blanco

87 SCORE

“I'm re-reviewing. As others have noted, letting this open up really changes things. Creamy mineral, earthy agave. Very subtle chewy sweetness underneath. Great big finish. I keep reaching for this blanco. Suddenly it's delicious!”

Clase Azul Reposado

“Great nose, sweet, with a touch of sourness. Taste is soft agave, cinnamon bun, and vanilla birthday cake with caramel pastry frosting. A little sweet. A bit of a bitter bite on the finish. Tasty, but not really for me.”

“Light, soft, a little burny. Almost flavourless. I give this one to company - they think they're drinking something special.”

Casamigos Tequila Reposado

72 SCORE

“Big nose of buttery caramel, very intense. Nice full mouthfeel, maybe a touch glyceriny. Taste of spearmint, cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate, some smoke. There is almost too much going on with this repo, like it's trying too hard. A good starter tequila.”

Don Julio 1942

79 SCORE

“Considered by many to be the King of Tequilas. A beautiful nose: caramel, vanilla, toffee, fruit, brandy, and agave. Taste is a similar profile to the nose: mostly sweet notes with some agave peeking through. Pretty thin on the tongue, smooth yet nicely spicy with a warm finish. 1942 is a lovely, soft, very tasty tequila but there is no reason it should be this pricey. ”

Pasote Añejo

87 SCORE

“It's both a touch richer in flavour, and also just a little mellower going down than the excellent repo. Still wonderfully spicy, full of agave, with some added notes of caramel and the lightest of oak. An A to the repo's A+.”

Olmeca Altos Plata

70 SCORE

“Subtle sweet nose, light on the tongue, soft agave flavours on the mineral side. A not bad finish, a little fruity on the fade-out. I've come across some alcohol burn if it's not allowed to air out a bit. All in all a decent blanco but lacking in any personality to make it a go-to.”

El Tesoro Tequila Añejo

90 SCORE

“This one needs to sit and open up a bit, but once it does, lovely aromas of agave and light fruit. Very nice on the tongue, uncomplicated flavours of agave and barrel notes, a little earthy, a touch sweet, and very spicy, with a great long finish. This is no snowflake anejo. As much as I love a lot of the New Wave of craft tequilas, you still want some beautiful old-style tequilas on your shelf. This anejo is a stand-out.”

ArteNOM Seleccion de 1414 Reposado

93 SCORE

“Nose is agave, light wood, vanilla, and soft smoky citrus. Mouthfeel is smooth and full. Buttery. Taste is sweet roasted agave giving way to a wonderful smoky oaky lenghthy finish. There's a very subtle sugary roundness underneath the spice that makes this a deliciously balanced drinking experience. Absolutely fantastic, like the rest of the Artenom line.”

Chinaco Reposado

“Big beautiful nose: melted butter, agave, vanilla, wood, fruit. Great mouthfeel, immediate caramel notes. Taste is agave, woody spice, and plenty of it. Big hot finish. A deliciously bold tequila. A classic.”
